Join us on Saturday, September 26, 2026 for the Edgewater Automation Poker Run—a scenic group ride through Michigan benefiting local FIRST® Robotics teams.
Cars, motorcycles, trucks, classics, daily drivers—whatever you ride, you’re welcome. This event is about bringing people together, enjoying the road, and supporting local students involved in robotics.

♠️ How the Poker Run Works
We’ll set out from Edgewater Automation on a sheriff-escorted scenic ride with five checkpoints along the route. Each stop will be hosted by a local FIRST Robotics team, where participants will collect one playing card.
After all five stops, we’ll return to Edgewater for lunch, prizes, raffles and celebration. Your five cards make your poker hand, and the best hands win prizes.
No poker experience required!
