Sadlers Creek Stumble
Saturday, October 17, 2026 · Sadlers Creek State Park · Anderson, SC
“A 6.8-mile loop on a Lake Hartwell peninsula, gently winding through quiet woods, along lakeshore trails, and past cozy campsites... Tall pines, gentle lake breezes, and campfires crackling as runners come in from long loops.”
Course Highlight: 80% runnable lakeside singletrack with 380' gain per lap. Plus on-site lakeside camping, hot post-run soup, fresh pancakes, and finish-line campfire camaraderie!

Racing Built by Runners, for Runners
Real roots
Upstate Race Series has been timing and organizing races across the Upstate since 2013. This isn't a corporate operator, it's a team of runners who happen to run races professionally.
Real results
Certified timing, live results, and a registration process built on RunSignup, one of the most trusted platforms in the sport.
Real community
Many of our races connect back to the Upstate Running Club and the Giving Series, so your registration supports more than just your own finish line. Local business? These races are made possible in part by community sponsors.
