Charleston Harbor Poker Run

We want to welcome Mercury Racing onboard for 2027 as one of our Premier Sponsors.

We look forward to seeing Mercury as well as you at the 2027 poker run May 13th-15th in Charleston SC.

🏆 NEW AWARDS FOR 2027! 🏆

We decided to mix things up a little for the 2027 Charleston Harbor Poker Run!

Of course, the winning poker hand is still a big part of the weekend—but this year, we want to recognize some of the incredible boats and crews that make this event what it is.

We’ll be handing out awards for categories like:

🏆 Best Hand
🚤 Longest Distance Traveled
🔥 Most Horsepower
🔊 Most Speakers
🎨 Best Paint
🏅 And More!

Bring that badass boat to Charleston and see what you can take home!

📍 Charleston, South Carolina
📅 May 13–15, 2027

MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW!

Registration opens January 2027. More details and award categories coming soon!

We got news today of a small little company that's joining forces with us to bring this run back so y'all can run Wide Open around Charleston. Check back with us in the coming weeks to see which little company it is.

Just so you know...... We don't have speed limits around here. Looking forward to seeing everyone in May.

We are going above and beyond to let everyone know about the return of the Charleston Harbor Poker Run next year.

As we've stated a lot of big changes coming for the 2027 relaunch of the Charleston Harbor Poker Run. One of those big changes is a change to the host marina venue.

Some feed back we got after the last run was that it wasn't long enough. That some people wanted to put some more miles on their boat.

How do you guys feel about the host marina being about 20 miles from the harbor? Leaving a nice ride to the first stop that you can take either the ICW or the open ocean to get too it?

This is just an option we're exploring.

Today marks 19 years since the tragic Sofa Super Store Fire in Charleston.

Take a moment today to remember the nine heroes we lost on June 18, 2007—firefighters who answered the call, went to work that morning, and made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our city.

Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. As we honor their memory, we also remember the families, friends, and fellow firefighters who continue to carry their legacy forward.

Gone, but never forgotten.

Charleston 9 – June 18, 2007
