It's a fun, relaxed and safe event, with pillion riders welcome and the emphasis on enjoying a ride with other motorcycle enthusiasts. It is NOT a race! There are great spot prizes - and a major prize - and time at the end of the run to enjoy a meal and spend some time with friends. And it's a great event to showcase your bike.

Each year, one of the five Fire Stations involved - Kumeu-Huapai, Muriwai, Shelly Beach, Helensville and Kaukapakapa - take turns to host the event. All funds raised go to the host station - 2008 was Shelly Beach's turn and $3300 was raised for a generator. This year, Helensville is the host station.

The five volunteer fire brigades involved in the 5 Station Poker Run all work together on fire calls around the district, and the Run is a way for members to get together in a social way, while raising funds at the same time. Taking turns to host the event highlights the stations involved.
