Friends, members, and supporters, after careful consultation and following the latest guidance from DNR and the State of Washington regarding the health and safety of everyone– our riders, our members, our exhibitors and our longtime partners – The Tacoma Trail Cruisers have made the difficult decision to cancel the 47th Annual Smuggler Poker Run, scheduled for August 1st & 2nd 2020. Current guidelines say that after phase four gatherings of 50 people will be permitted, but that events will not be authorized until the entire state has completed the final stage. Our Smuggler team has thought very hard about this to see if there is any way, and we feel that the social distancing restrictions will prevent us from hosting a worthwhile and cost efficient event. There does not appear to be a workable solution to staging a customary (and fun) poker run while observing social distancing and protecting the health and safety of riders, patrons, and our members."
Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our riders and supporters. But we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today. Our team will be reaching out directly to exhibitors and attendees with information about providing full refunds. We thank everyone who shared the excitement for our event this year; and we look forward to bringing you the 47th Annual Smuggler Poker Run in 2021 as a re-imagined event that brings riders, the event and the industry together in a showcase that celebrates our passion.
We hope you will understand this difficult decision, and that everyone who has enjoyed the Smuggler in the past, as well as first-time riders, will plan on joining us next year on August 7 &8 2021 for a return of the Poker Run, prizes, Raffle, music, food, fun and friends. We look forward to seeing you at the 2021 47th Annual Smuggler Poker Run.
Thank you for being a part of the Tacoma Trail Cruiser Community.
