The Poker Run 5K is a timed 5K race in North Port, Florida. It begins at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, located near I-75.

Participation is open to all, but individuals must be 21 years or older to engage in the poker aspect of the run. The course guides participants from the park to a water stop and poker table situated mid-race. Here, runners collect two playing cards before continuing the 3.1-mile route back to the finish.

In the event of a tie, the faster runner will be declared the winner. Standard race awards will be presented to overall, masters, veteran, and age-group finishers. The finish medal is designed as a 3-inch poker chip. Post-race refreshments include hot dogs, chips, and snack bars.
