Default what is poker run

I have been seeing 'poker run' but not quite following exactly what this is other than it is ride event. Is there any other meaning into this poker run?

What you do is buy one or more hands of poker. During the ride you make known stops and pick up a card. At the end of the ride the best hand wins.

Sort of like a scavenger hunt, where you ride to different locations and pick up cards. At the end of the run, all the riders report to one location and turn in their hands, have prizes awarded, eat, drink beer, etc. A little more freestyle than an organized ride.

lots of time it is a benefit run for someone...usually will end up at a place with food and drink. start times are spread out and there is usually not a large group riding together. you set your own pace and it is fairly safe--as far as a group function goes. there will still be idiots on crotch rockets and a few that drink too much. it is a chance to meet and greet some new people.

thanks folks that answer my question. Actually does sound appealing to join this type of poker run in future.

And a poker run is illegal in Texas. Go figger - try to help someone out and the Attorney General sez, "yer all criminals!"
