register and walk the 2 mile loop around campus! Its as simple as that!

The Spring 2013 Poker Walk will start at 11:45am in front of the Preston Health and Activity Center. Participants can start showing up around 11:15am to check in if they have preregistered online or to sign up for the days event. Once everyone has checked in or registered, we will kick off the event at 11:45am. Participants will then walk the 2 mile loop around WKU's campus picking up 5 cards at volunteer stations along the route. These 5 cards will make up your poker hand to be turned in at the finish.

 You will have an option for a WILD CARD! Before the finish, you will have the option to discard one card from your hand for a new one, hopefully making a better hand! Awards will be given to the best hand for a student and faculty/staff participant!

We hope to see you all at this years Spring Poker Walk!
