Fall Fun Run

September 18-22, 2020

RESCHEDULED FROM SPRING POKER RUN TO KEY WEST

This early Fall escape to paradise is the ideal getaway for FPC members who have suffered the Covid-19 blues….and are just ready to unleash the throttles and enjoy some powerboating in paradise in the Florida Keys. With a small roster of teams from all over the United States, this event features a more casual, laid-back agenda, with a one-night stay in Marathon followed by three days in Key West. The smaller group means we can enjoy a possible day trip to Dry Tortugas ( weather permitting) or relax at Boca Grande in the Mule Keys, just ten miles from Key West Harbor. Hotels include the landmark Hyatt Centric Resort, with docking at the popular Conch Republic Seafood docks, in the heart of the Historic Seaport District. Hotel rates are the lowest we’ve seen in decades, so get on board and enjoy this four day adventure, departing Friday morning from Haulover Marine Center in North Miami Beach.
