The eighth annual Five Star Trail Poker Run will be held on Saturday, July 26, and will begin at Lynch Field in Greensburg. The event will start at 9:00 AM with registration opening at 8:15 AM. If you register before the event, the cost is twelve dollars. On-site registration cost is fifteen dollars.

The Poker Run is two events in one. Participants can choose a four-mile walk or a twelve-mile bike ride. This is not a race to see who finishes first. Those participating will choose a playing card from a deck of cards at each of five checkpoints along the trail. Upon finishing the event, each participant will have assembled a full poker hand.

The top three poker hands for each event will receive a trophy and a special prize package. In addition, at the conclusion of the event, there will be a huge door prize giveaway. The event also features entertainment by Chris the Puppeteer.

The Westmoreland Heritage Trail Chapter has joined forces with the Five Star to put on the Poker Run again this year. Participants can choose which trail chapter they would like your entry fees to be credited towards. All proceeds from this event benefit the two trail chapters.
