AURA Wild Card Run in Paron, AR
The AURA Wild Card Run is an inaugural trail poker run taking place on June 6 in Paron, Arkansas. The event uses the Corkscrew route and begins and ends at the Electronic Tower. The route will be run counterclockwise and covers approximately 10 miles.
Participants stop at four card stations along the route to collect one playing card at each station. At the finish they draw a fifth card and play their best five-card poker hand. The runner with the best poker hand receives a custom chip medal. The event is described as a casual AURA community run rather than a traditional timed race.
Volunteers are needed to staff aid and card stations. Recommended items for participants include a water bottle or hydration pack, trail shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and snacks. The format includes trails, multiple card stations, and on-course aid stations.
Registration for the event is free. The description focuses on the event format, route, distance, prize, and equipment recommendations without listing start times or contact details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
