Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino’s third annual 5K Poker Run race drew 326 participants to the course around the fields south of the casino. Casey Keys, 30, was the overall winner in 19:22.3, outpacing Mark Huber and Daniel Pena, who finished second and third, respectively. Cynthia Jimenez, 38, was the top female finisher and was 12th overall. Maxine Ormsby was second, and Maureen Greco was third. While runners enjoyed a pool party afterward, portions of the proceeds benefited United Way of Pinal County, Girls on the Run and the Ocular Melanoma Foundation.
