Join the Colorado, Pikes Peak, and Wyoming Chapters of The Ninety-Niners for the 2026 Poker Run, a fly-or-drive aviation adventure running September 1 through October 17 that raises funds for chapter activities and scholarships supporting women aviators.
Participants purchase $20 “hands,” then collect sealed card envelopes at any of seven airports—Casper (KCPR), Laramie (KLAR), Fort Morgan (KFMM), Akron (KAKO), Burlington (KITR), La Junta (KLHX), and Meadow Lake (KFLY)—with extra cards available at the terminus if you don’t make every stop.
Anyone is welcome, pilots and drivers alike, and envelopes stay sealed until the reveal.
The event wraps Saturday, October 17 at Meadow Lake Airport in Peyton, where hands must be presented at the MLAA Hangar by 10:00 a.m. and prizes are awarded at 11:00 a.m.
EAA Chapter 72 will host an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast there from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. ($10 adults; under 12 free; teens typically half price). So fly in, drive in, or just come for breakfast and help cheer on the players. PLEASE PAY ONLINE OR BRING CASH TO THE EVENT TO PAY FOR BREAKFAST!
