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 6.7-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 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.
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. 🍂👣
