Harvest Poker Prediction Run

5-Mile Poker Run and Prediction Race held October 27 in Pueblo West.

Before this race, each runner was required to predict his/her finishing time. Watches were not allowed to be worn during the event. The runner who came closest to finishing at his/her predicted time was the winner.

There were "ties" in this event where the variance time (in seconds) was equal for multiple participants. In these cases, each runner's official "100th of a second" time was used to determine the final finishing order.

A playing card was handed to each runner at every mile marker. At the end of the race, the male and female runners with the best "hand" won the "entry fee pot".
