Pedals and Power Poker Run

Location of Pedals and Power Poker Run

The Pedals and Power Poker Run is a unique fundraising event that takes place in southwestern Iowa and provides motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts the opportunity to share in a fun-filled event and support an incredible non-profit organization called Water for People.

Water for People helps people in developing countries to improve their quality of life by supporting the development of locally sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation facilities and health and hygiene education programs. Their vision is a world where all people have access to safe drinking water and sanitation; a world where no one suffers or dies from a water- or sanitation-related disease.

The ride begins in Council Bluffs, Iowa, with the motorcyclists taking a 110-mile road route through southwest Iowa, while bicyclists ride the scenic Wabash Trace Nature Trail. There is a prize for the winning Motorcycle poker hand and the Winning Bicycle poker hand, as well as a raffle for additional prizes at the end of the event. Participants also receive a custom-designed "Pedals and Power Poker Run" T-shirt.
