What's the Junee Poker Run?
The Junee Poker Run was established in 2005 and has grown into one of Junee's best-known annual events - and one of Australia's larger and longer-running charity motorcycle rides. 
At its heart, it's a motorcycle ride with a very good reason behind it.
Hundreds of riders gather in Junee and head out stopping at nominated locations to collect playing cards.
Those cards eventually make up a poker hand, with prizes awarded according to the event rules and yes
- the route is a secret.
Traditionally, riders don't discover the exact course until the morning of the event.
In 2026, the convoy left the Junee Showgrounds in formation, completed its traditional lap through Junee and then headed out on a mystery 250km round trip. More than 400 riders travelled through North Wagga, Tarcutta, Tumut and Tumblong before returning to town. Two support vehicles travelled with the group to assist riders along the way. 
The stops change. The roads change. The purpose doesn't.
The Junee Poker Run raises funds for Can Assist Junee, helping local people and families affected by cancer.

For a bit of perspective, the event had raised more than $110,000 for Can Assist across the four years leading into the 2026 ride. 
Good roads. Good people. Good cause.
That's the important bit.
