Included in Registration
The Sadlers Creek Trail Series is your chance to clock miles with lake-country energy and full-on trail camaraderie, where every loop feels like a small adventure and every finish line turns into a mini celebration. 🌲🏃♂️
Included with registration, your entry into the park is covered, so you can roll in ready to run. You’ll start with a custom race bib, and we’ll be tracking every mile with chip timing, lap splits, and live results, because around here every loop counts and every split tells the story. 🎟️🎫⏱️
When you come through the finish, you’ll earn a finisher medal as your trail badge of honor, plus a custom race tattoo for that stick-on trail pride. You’ll also snag event-themed giveaways that feel like campy treasures for your gear stash, a race sticker for your cooler, camper, or trail log, and a Wildly Charged hydration sample to keep you moving when the legs start bargaining. 🏅🧼🎁🚐💥
And because Sadlers Creek knows how to do recovery right, we’ve got fresh post-race pancakes, complimentary race photos to capture the grit and the smiles, and music with a post-race hangout that feels like a campfire jam… just with more medals and fewer mosquitoes. 🥞📸🎶

Race Weekend Schedule
📍 Location: Sadlers Creek State Park – 940 Sadlers Creek Rd, Anderson, SC
🕗 Start Time: All races begin at 8:45am
🎒 Packet Pickup: Begins 60 minutes before your race at the Activity Center
The Course:
Looped and lightly rolling with 380 ft of gain per lap. Mostly trail (80%), with a sprinkle of gravel, pavement, and a dash of sand. You'll pass tall pines, gentle lake breezes, and the occasional deer as you circle the peninsula. Each 6.8-mile loop gently winds through quiet woods, along lakeshore trails, and past cozy campsites—making it easy to check in with your crew, grab a snack, or sneak in a quick s’mores break. With just a few rolling hills and a wide, runnable surface, this course is approachable, scenic, and shaded in autumn’s finest colors.
Camping & Setup Accommodations
Secure your lakefront campsite and make a weekend of it! Watch the sunrise over Lake Hartwell, roast marshmallows at night, and never miss a moment of the action. Personal tents, drop bags, and friendly faces welcome at the start/finish aid station. To make a reservation for camping please contact Sadlers Creek State Park directly.
Field Parking/Camping
When the traditional campsites are booked future registrations are permitted to setup primitive tent/car camping in the adjacent parking lot right next to the course. This is located about 150 meters from the main trail head entrance.
Whether you're there to race hard, hang with trail family, or simply enjoy a cozy fall camping weekend, the Sadlers Creek Stumble offers a little something for everyone. Come for the miles, stay for the memories. 🍂👣
