Get ready for a unique blend of fitness and fun at the IHR Poker Run, taking place on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, in scenic Louisville, KY. This community-focused event, hosted by the Iroquois Hill Runners, offers both a 5K and a 1 Mile distance, welcoming participants of all abilities to enjoy a refreshing run. The course winds around the base of Iroquois Park, featuring rolling hills and ample natural beauty, allowing runners to escape the hustle and bustle of city traffic. Runners often find it an excellent opportunity to achieve a personal best or complete their first 5K.

What truly sets the IHR Poker Run apart is its exciting poker theme and charitable mission. As you navigate the course, you'll collect playing cards to build a poker hand, with prizes awarded for winning hands after the race. Entry is donation-based; simply bring an unopened toy or a monetary contribution for Toys for Tots, adding a meaningful layer of giving to your race experience. Following your run, stick around for the chance to win door prizes, adding to the festive atmosphere.

The race kicks off at 6:30 PM near the Iroquois Amphitheater, located at 1080 Amphitheater Rd, Louisville, KY 40214, where both the start and finish lines are conveniently situated. Ample parking is available at the amphitheater and playground, with packet pick-up opening around 5 PM. Typical race day conditions in mid-August include highs around 89F and lows around 71F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, so hydrating well is encouraged. Bottled water will be provided at the finish line to help you cool down.
