Poker Run Details & Schedule

The Miles for Mercy Poker Run is a community-driven motorcycle event benefiting Frederick Health Hospice. Following a successful inaugural year in 2025, this year’s event is designed to expand participation, increase fundraising impact, and create a stronger experience for riders, sponsors, and the local community.

The event is presented by Malloy Law Offices, hosted by American Iron Speed-n-Cycle, organized and promoted by TOCmedia, and sanctioned and insured through the American Motorcyclist Association.

Best Hand will receive a $500 cash prize. Additional awards, including Second Place and Worst Hand, will be presented based on sponsor participation.

Start the poker run at American Iron Speed-n-Cycle, where all poker run participants will register, pick up their scorecard, and draw their first card. Registration is $25 per hand. Additional hands may be purchased for $10 each, with a limit of three hands per person.

Card Stop Sponsors will be available from 12 PM to 4 PM at Red Shedman Brewery, Rosie Cheeks Distillery, and The Greenhouse Cafe. The final card draw will take place at Lewistown Social Club between 3 PM and 5 PM.

Riders may plan their own route and visit the card stops in the order that works best for them. All scorecards must be turned in at Lewistown Social Club by 5 PM to qualify for prizes.

Your poker run scorecard also includes admission to Bike Night, so registered poker run participants do not need to make the additional $10 admission donation.

Locations and details for each stop are listed below.
