Poker Run & Rendezvous arrives in Belleville July 12-13

A spectacular Poker Run & Rendezvous, proudly supported by Discover Belleville, will add to the excitement on the Bay of Quinte during the Belleville Waterfront Multicultural Festival.

The Poker Run will take place on Friday, July 12 through Saturday, July 13, 2024, with Meyers Pier serving as the hub in Belleville.

“A Poker Run is a game of chance and only the boat with the best poker hand wins. It’s all in the cards.

Whether your boat exceeds 120 mph or 200 mph, speed has no bearing on the winner,” the Poker Runs website stated.

“A poker run is fun on the water with power to burn.

It’s a few glorious days of performance boating at its finest and a chance to renew old acquaintances and make new friends.

Each participating boat navigates a carefully charted course, stopping at five checkpoints along the route to pick up a sealed envelope containing a single playing card.

At the final checkpoint, the envelopes are opened and the crew holding the best poker hand is declared the winner,” according to the website.

These powerful boats race at 120 km speeds on the open water over wakes and waves.

Participants experience being part of a well-organized, activity-oriented, fun-filled and safe event for the family.

“At each of the five checkpoints, host communities provide unique and entertaining activities, sometimes linked with waterfront festivals,” the Poker Run organizers stated.
