About the Event
Join Jugz World Famous Biker Bar and Veteran Recreation Ohio for our September 26, 2026 Poker Run, a community event bringing together motorcycle riders, car enthusiasts, veterans, families, and local supporters for a day of fun with a purpose. Whether you arrive on two wheels or four, everyone is welcome to participate.
Registration opens at 9:00 a.m. at Jugz, located at 420 West Main Street, Newark, Ohio. Participants will travel a scenic route at their own pace, collecting poker hands at designated stops before returning to Jugz for an evening of live music, great food, and community fellowship.
The excitement continues at 6:00 p.m. with a live auction and 50/50 raffle, where you'll have the chance to win great prizes while supporting an important cause. Whether you ride the entire route or simply join us for the evening festivities, your participation helps make a difference.
All proceeds benefit Veteran Recreation Ohio, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Ohio's veterans through recreational therapy. We provide grants and financial support to organizations that offer activities such as fishing, hiking, kayaking, adaptive sports, hunting, pickleball, yoga, equine therapy, and countless other programs that build community, improve mental and physical wellness, and help veterans reconnect with life after service.
By participating, you're doing more than enjoying a great day with friends. You're helping provide Ohio veterans with opportunities to heal, build lasting friendships, and discover purpose through recreation. We hope you'll join us for an unforgettable day of riding, giving back, and supporting those who have served our country.
