Sign Up To Enter Krystal Square Off VI Poker Run

Put on your Krystal cycling gear and head over to the 3rd Annual Krystal Square Off Poker Run on Sunday, Sept. 27. The morning ride is a great way to kick off the Championship event!

Watching the world’s best competitive eating can be hard on the stomach for both the competitors and the folks watching it. Why not burn a few calories in advance with the third annual Krystal Square Off VI Poker Run presented by Scenic City Vel?

Cyclists from all around the Southeast will put the pedal to the pavement in this fun, non-competitive bike ride which begins at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27 at Ross’s Landing. Participants will pedal from one Krystal restaurant to another and collect playing cards at each stop all while enjoying a couple Krystal Burgers along the way. Each cyclist will receive one playing card for reaching a store in addition to three more cards for each Krystal Burger consumed at a restaurant, so that a maximum of 4 cards can be collected per restaurant. The Krystals are free with entry into the ride.

And because everyone likes a little something sweet with their Krystals, for the first time ever there will be MilkQuakes available at the Broad Street and Cherokee Blvd. stores so that you can finish off the ride with an ice-cold and refreshing dessert.

Participants have three hours to ride to as many Krystal restaurants as they can and collect playing cards. When the Official “KrystalFest” Tailgating Party for the Krystal Square Off kicks off at noon, the winner will be announced at the Riverfront based on the best five card hands.

Entry into the Krystal Square Off Poker Run costs only $5, and each participant receives a pair of black cycling socks with the Krystal logo emblazoned on the side of the cuff and a Lynskey T-shirt to show they are part of the ride.

All those interested must sign up in person. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the 21st Century Waterfront in Downtown Chattanooga.

Cyclists Gear Up For Krystal Square Off V Poker Run

Before competitive eaters like Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobyashi take the stage at the Krystal Square Off V World Hamburger Eating Championship in Chattanooga on Sunday, Sept. 28, cyclists from around the region will be shifting into high gear for the second annual Krystal Square Off Poker Run presented by Scenic City Velo.

The fun, non-competitive bike ride starts at 9:00 a.m. at Ross’s Landing, “ground zero” for Krystal Square Off V, and will have cyclists pedaling from one Krystal restaurant to another as they collect playing cards and eat Krystals. Each cyclist will collect one playing card for reaching a store, plus up to three more cards for each Krystal consumed at a restaurant.  The Krystals are free with entry into the ride, and at each store a participant can receive up to four cards.

Cyclists have three hours to ride to as many Krystal restaurants as they can and collect playing cards. At noon, just as the official tailgating party for KSO V kicks off, the winner will be announced at the Riverfront based on best five card hands.

The Krystal Square Off Poker Run costs $15, and each participant receives a pair of black cycling socks with the Krystal logo emblazoned on the side of the cuff and a bike number and wrist band to show they are part of the ride.

To register for the event and for more details including a list of Krystal restaurants and distances from the Riverfront, go here.

Last year the maximum number of Krystals consumed by a rider was 18 going to ten locations and riding 40 miles in the process. It took a royal flush to win the first place prize at the end.
