Planning a poker run requires a great deal of time and effort - and manpower. Even though we've been organizing our own events for more than 14 years, poker runs just keep getting bigger and more activity oriented, which doesn't make things any easier for event planners. That's one of the reasons we're offering poker run organizers a special how-to mannual compiled by our team of experts.

This valuable special edition is only one of the main benefits to event organizers who become members of the American Poker Runs Association (APRA).

APRA was specially designed to make certain poker run events are well-organized, fun-filled and safe for the entire family. Yes, we do insist - rightfully so - that there be absolutely no alcohol consumed on a run. Poker run crews must also wear life jackets or PFDs and attend mandatory driver's meetings (which makes special sense if you're boating in an unknown body of water!).

Membership in our American Poker Runs Association does entitle those who join to receive a wide range of benefits. Call our Event Director of Marketing, Larry Boyd, at 1-800-354-9145 for the features and benefits program.

APRA has been set up to keep poker runs operating smoothly without taking away the key element of fun. Endorsed and supported by performance boat manufacturers, our goal is simply to promote the continuing growth of safe and responsible boating by linking the main players - manufacturers and dealers of high performance boats and accessories, poker run organizers and performance boat owners.

By working together, we can ensure the continuing and future growth of a sport that's undeniable fun for the whole family.
