Sadlers Creek Stumble
Sadlers Creek Stumble is a fall trail running and camping event at Sadlers Creek State Park in Anderson, SC. The event uses a 6.8-mile loop on a Lake Hartwell peninsula that runs through woods, along lakeshore trails, and past campsites.
Distances offered:
- 32 Hour (100 miles) : 15 laps
- Marathon (26.2 miles) : 4 laps
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles) : 2 laps
- 10K (6.8 miles) : 1 lap
The course is mostly trail (about 80%) with some gravel, pavement, and a short section of sand. Each lap has approximately 380 feet of elevation gain across a few rolling hills on a wide, runnable surface. The loop passes campsites and tall pines and often carries gentle lake breezes.
Camping options include lakefront sites through the park and primitive tent or car camping in the lot beside the course, about 150 meters from the main trailhead. Parking is at the park ball field; a $5 special use permit covers park entry. Packet pickup and bib collection occur at the Activity Center area and the start/finish location is at the Activity Center between Campground Loops 2 and 3.
A fully stocked aid station is located at the start/finish and is reached once per lap, with hot post-run soup and fresh pancakes served at the finish. Amenities include chip timing with live results, custom bibs and finisher medals, photos, and multiple restroom locations on course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
