Publisher/HostJunee Poker Run & Blues Night
21st Junee Poker Run & Blues Night IT’S BACK! 🙌 The 21st Annual Junee Poker Run & Blues Night will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026 - and everyone’s invited! 🏍️♣️
The Junee Poker Run is one of the largest and longest-running cancer charity rides in Australia, with hundreds of riders coming together each year to raise much needed funds for Can Assist Junee.
The event has raised raise over $110,000 for the local charity over the past four years alone, including a record donation of $42,000 following the ride's 20th anniversary in 2025.
Starting at the Junee Showgrounds, riders and supporters embark on a mystery 250km journey across the Riverina, stopping at pre-determined towns along the route where each participant collects a poker card before returning to Junee for the annual Blues Night.
This year, the event celebrates its 21st birthday and continues to receive strong backing from the community, with more than 50 businesses from Junee and beyond jumping on board to support the cause.
Whether you’re riding or cheering from the sidelines, don’t miss the fun, the music, and the chance to make a difference!
ALL BIKES ARE WELCOME! 🏍️
