Volunteers will be on the street to help you stage and launch as well as give you direction. Look for the red event staff shirts! They will be working Thursday, 12pm to 6pm and Friday, 9am to 5:30pm.
There is no ramp fee for Poker Run Participants. There will be bright yellow directional signs leading here. The ramp is at the end of Mary Street. If there’s a backup, boats will stage in front of the Wooden Boat Brewery or proceed to the end of the street and turn left before the ramp onto Theresa Street.
