Need details of this new ABay event so we can plan, as well as convince poker runners from other regions to attend.

Kingston we'll assume not much is changing other than dates as it is a great event hosted by a very welcoming city.

Venue, dockage, format of proposed Shootout, activities schedule, etc..

Definitely looking forward to two great events !

There were discussions with the possibility of moving the event to Clayton this year, but unfortunately, the hotel room and banquet rooms was already book for weddings. After looking at different possibilities and scenarios it was decided to keep the event in ABay for this year to secure hosting for the participants.

Pardon my ignorance. When the 1000 Islands Poker Run was one of "THE" runs in North America it crossed between the US and Canada. Thus needing a passport. So, now the July Alexandria Bay is all in the US?

Poker run fever

We are talking about two different events that are hold in the 1000 Islands and across each other

1000 Islands Alexandria Bay NY is a US which means that all the card stops are on the US side

1000 Islands Kingston Canada is on the Canadian site which means that all card stops are on the Canadian side

On both events you will be navigating in the International channel

for the US event if you anchor on the Canadian site you will need to report to custom the same with the Canadian event you would report to the US custom

if you participate to Alexandria Bay event and you are an American you do not need to report to Canadian custom - vice versa for the canadian and if you participate to the Kingston event - as an american you would have to report to the Canadian Customs
