2026 Route 

The route for the One VI Poker Run 2026 featured an island-hopping loop across the Virgin Islands, starting and ending at Paradise Bar and Lounge at the world-famous Cane Garden Bay on Tortola. Participants travelled a predetermined route, drawing cards at each stop to form a poker hand, with the best hand winning the event.

Stop locations included Foxy's Taboo on Jost van Dyke, Trellis Bay Market on Beef Island, C.B. Romney Tortola Pier Park, and Ocean's 7 on Peter Island, with Paradise Bar and Lounge serving as both the starting and ending point.

At the end of the journey, participants with the best five-card poker hand were crowned the Poker Run victors. By all reports, this year's event was incident-free.
