The Pikes Peak 99s, Colorado 99s and Wyoming 99s are hosting a Poker Run from September 1 to October 17, 2026! During this time, collect cards or take a timestamped selfie at the following airports: KCPR, KLAR, KFMM, KAKO, KITR, KLHX, and KFLY. Hands must be turned in by 11 am October 17th at KFLY, and prizes for best hands will accompany pancakes at the EAA Hangar on the west side of the runway.

What is a Poker Run?

A poker run is a flying/driving poker game. The goal is to pick up an envelope with a playing card from each of the designated airports (see list below) during the time period for the Poker Run (September 1st through October 17th). Begin at any of the seven designated airports and go to as many airports as you wish. If you don’t make it to each airport – or if you only go to the terminus airport – extra cards can be picked up at the terminus. The best five cards out of the seven cards in a “hand” will be judged for your poker hand. If you pick up envelopes from at least 4 of the designated airports, you’ll have better odds of getting a prize from the prize table, Purchase one (or more) “hands” online. At an airport, each person in the airplane/car who has purchased a “hand” picks up a sealed envelope (one envelope for each hand) that contains a playing card. Do NOT open the envelope!! Then travel on to the next airport – either the same day, or any other day until the deadline. At the deadline – 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 17th – everyone meets at the designated terminus airport with their envelopes to reveal their hands, have the hands scored, and claim their prizes. Each player – pilots, drivers, and passengers – can buy as many hands as they want. Hands can also be bought at the terminus on October 17th up to the deadline.
