Spring Fling 5K Poker Run - Colorado Springs

Spring Fling 5K Poker Ride/Run Fundraiser : Colorado Springs

The Spring Fling is a community 5K poker ride/run at the Equestrian Skills Course in Bear Creek Regional Park, Colorado Springs. The event welcomes horses (riding and driving), pack burros, bicyclists, runners, hikers, children, and well behaved, leashed dogs. All proceeds support construction and maintenance of the Equestrian Skills Course.

Participants receive a scorecard at registration and visit five checkpoints along the course to collect cards or stamps. Adults collect cards to form a poker hand; participants under 18 collect stamps toward a special prize. Completed hands are turned in at the finish and prizes are awarded in every category, including a division for participants 18 and under. Additional awards recognize the oldest participant and the person who traveled the furthest to attend. Winners must be present to claim prizes.
