A Fall Trail Running & Camping Experience for the Whole Family! 🌲🍁
Pitch your tent, stoke the campfire, and get ready for a crisp autumn weekend filled with trail
miles, lakeside views, and family fun at Sadlers Creek State Park. Whether you’re chasing a 100-mile buckle or strolling through your first 10k, the Sadlers Creek Stumble blends trail racing with the magic of fall camping.
Nestled on a quiet peninsula extending into Lake Hartwell, this hidden gem of a state park offers the perfect setting for a weekend escape. Wake up to cool morning air and the smell of campfire coffee, cheer on runners from your hammock, and spend the evenings swapping race stories around the fire pit under a starry sky.

🍂 100 Mile (32-Hour Limit) – 15 scenic loops through golden woods
🍂 Marathon – 4 loops of pine-needle-packed trails
🍂 Half Marathon – 2 loops of lakeside beauty
🍂 10k – A single lap perfect for newcomers or weekend warriors
This isn’t just a race—it’s a fall retreat:
🔥 Campfires crackling as runners come in from long loops
🍁 Crisp leaves crunching underfoot as you run through golden forests
☕ Hot post-run soup, pancakes, and campfire camaraderie
🏕️ Camp along the course for easy crewing or cozy mid-race rest

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. 🍂👣

Whether you’re an experienced mountain biker or new to the sport, we’ve got a race you will find enjoyable and challenging. Many are familiar with triathlons competed on paved roads; however, fewer
athletes have challenged themselves with an off-road duathlon.
The transition area will be set up in the grassy field near the main park office. You’ll start and finish each leg of the duathlon from here.
The first leg will be a 5k trail run that will wind through the trails going to the boat ramp. The trails are wide single track and should be a pleasant trail run. You’ll circle back to the transition area and get your bike for the second leg.
The bike leg will enter the trail system from the beach to the left/east of the main office. Your ride will take you along the water's edge and through the woods over towards the camping area and Persimmon Beach. You’ll do several loops in the woods before returning to the transition area for the third and final leg of the race.
The third leg will be a 2.5k trail that will wind through the trails going towards the boat ramp. You’ll finish near the Park Office.
The trails at Sadlers Creek are mostly wide single track and you may compete with either a mountain bike or a gravel bike. There are several whoop-whoops that will be thrilling on a gravel bike yet still "du-able". We hope to see you there.
The cost of this event includes the admission price into the park for the athlete.
We've selected New Foundations Home for Children (New Foundations) in Anderson, SC as the event charity. Please donate to New Foundations on the donation page of the race site. We hope you'll make a contribution to this great cause.
The Youth event is a 1-mile trail run followed by a 3-mile mountain bike ride and ending with a 1-mile run.
Transition and packet pick up open at 8 am and close at 9:45 am.
Adult Race start time is 10:00 am

Cherokee Recreation and Parks will host the 3rd Annual Live Like Laken 5K Run/Walk on October 24, 2026, at Hobgood Park in Woodstock, GA. The purpose of this 5K is to raise money for The Laken Hope
Foundation, Inc., which supports existing organizations that promote safety awareness for women, aid, and tuition assistance for nursing students and children’s healthcare. These were all causes that Laken felt strongly about, and she held near and dear to her heart. Additional information regarding the specific foundations supported and money raised can be found at https://lakenhopefoundation.com/
Laken Riley was a student at Augusta University after attending UGA, where she was studying to become a nurse. Laken’s untimely death was avoidable and tragic. Our ultimate goal is to promote safety awareness and prepare women if they are ever in danger. We will be handing out safety products and providing information centered around programs that champion safety awareness. Thank you, everyone, for your continued love and support. Together we can all Keep Hope Alive!
The Live Like Laken 5K is a certified race for The Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race.

Join us for our 1st annual Legacy 5K in honor of the late Pastor Frederick T. Anderson. Pastor Anderson is the founding pastor of Covenant Christian Ministries and a leader in Marietta for over 30
years. He and his wife ran a private school, Covenant Christian Ministries Academy, in Marietta for 25 years, which matriculated numerous students who were not only native to Georgia but came from various parts of the world.
Since 2016 the church has been meeting at various locations Cobb Galleria, McEachern Auditorium, The Mansour Center, but we settled at Smitha Middle School in 2019. It was Pastor Anderson's goal to build a permanent home for Covenant Christian Ministries, and all proceeds from the 5K will go toward making that vision a reality. The 5K course is a look back at our church history and the various places we called home in Marietta.
Pastor Anderson transitioned to his heavenly home on January 19, 2025. This race honors Pastor Frederick T. Anderson and celebrates the church that he founded. Join his family, friends, and church family as we keep his memory alive and continue the legacy that he started.

Refunds
Due to the upfront nature of event costs, we have a uniform policy of no refunds, transfers to another runner or to a different distance, or deferrals to a future year. We know that plans change and unexpected things come up, but we feel it is most fair to apply a uniform policy to all, instead of an arbitrary line of who merits a refund and who doesn't. Thank you for understanding.
Parking
Free parking is available anywhere in downtown Cleveland, including all public parking lots and street parking.

The Thriller Lake Endurance Run is a 12, 6, and 3 hour timed loop event on the 2.2 mile loop around Miller Lake at Little Mulberry Park in Gwinnett County, GA. It's a Halloween party combined with a
race, featuring runners in costume, food, and music.
For 2025, Classic Running and Mount To Coast are providing overall winners with their choice of shoes!
The Trick or Treat Fun Run is for kids and adults of all ages looking for a trick or treat experience in a fun, safe, and positive community setting. Participants will complete one loop of the Miller Lake paved 2.2 mile trail with plenty of opportunities to experience the magic of Halloween. Costumes are highly encouraged, practically required! I mean, we'll be wearing ours… We will have several trick or treat stations along the course stationed with costumed volunteers and most importantly, candy! And don’t worry, you don’t have to run, but as night falls, things may only get stranger…. Just kidding… Or am I?
Seriously though, the Fun Run will start at 630PM, just as the sun starts to set, aka dusk. Most walkers can complete this loop easily under an hour and should be done before full dark (7:30PM). We still encourage guests to bring a flashlight, headlamp, old-timey oil lantern, or a lit torch if you’re concerned about the dark. Ok, maybe not a real torch, but you get the point. Strollers are allowed but we will have to discourage any type of bicycles, scooters, or motorized devices unless medically necessary as there will be other runners on the course as well as the general public. Please remember to always be aware of others using the trail and keep to the right when others need to pass.
The fun run will not be timed. Instead, every participant will get a glow-in-the-dark wrist band when you check in, so that our volunteers will know who is participating in the event. We’ll also have a special treat bag available for the kids, or they can bring their own!
Did we mention costumes? Oh yeah, it wouldn’t be a Halloween event without a costume contest! The top two best costumes (as judged by TEAM SUMMIT(and we know our stuff when it comes to costumes)) will get acknowledged AND the overall BEST costume will receive tickets to a Falcons game, courtesy of our friends with the Falcons organization.
Spectators and family are allowed in the start/finish area but everyone on the course must be registered for the event.
PERC Coffee will be brewed on site for all participants, spectators, and crew!
