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.
