In the past 35 years, Phil Peterson's
Key West Poker Run as raised more
than $400,000 for the DRI.
It was the 35th anniversary of Phil Peterson’s Key West Poker Run, sponsored by Peterson’s Harley-Davidson of Miami and Harley-Davidson South, and the celebration was described as the motorcyclists' Mardi Gras!
More than 15,000 bikers kicked off the weekend with a scenic trek from Miami to Key West along US 1. Key West’s famous Duval Street was closed to outside traffic for weekend revelers, who enjoyed the carnival-like atmosphere, live music, food and drinks. Several activities kept visitors busy throughout the weekend, including a custom bike show, a hog roast, a bikini bike wash, contests judging wing-eating, beer guts and tattoos, and much, much more!
For a $10 donation, riders stopped at five designated locations along the way to draw what they hoped would be a winning poker hand. The players with the best hands (see below) competed in a game of Texas Hold 'Em, and the winner took home a brand new Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom! Poker hand donations benefited the Diabetes Research Institute and the Key West Sunrise Rotary Club.
