Sadlers Creek Stumble
The Sadlers Creek Stumble is a trail running and camping event held at Sadlers Creek State Park in Anderson, South Carolina. Located on a peninsula extending into Lake Hartwell, the event provides a looped course through wooded areas and along the lakeshore. The terrain consists of approximately 80% trail, with additional sections of gravel, pavement, and sand.
Participants can choose from several distances:
- 100 Miles (32-hour limit over 15 loops)
- 26.2 Miles (4 loops)
- 13.1 Miles (2 loops)
- 10 km (1 loop)
Each 6.8-mile loop features approximately 380 feet of elevation gain. The route winds through pine forests and past campsites, offering wide runnable surfaces with lightly rolling hills. The course is designed to pass through the main staging area frequently, allowing access to personal drop bags and crew support at the start and finish aid station.
The event emphasizes a camping atmosphere where participants can reserve lakefront sites or utilize primitive tent and car camping areas located near the trailhead. Amenities for participants include custom bibs, race stickers, and tattoos, with belt buckles awarded to those completing the 100-mile distance. Post-run refreshments such as soup and pancakes are provided near the fire pits at the activity center. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
