And as you tread the paths lined with longleaf pines, you're not just part of a race, but also of a grander vision: Stable View's commitment to conserving and celebrating the region's natural splendor, including efforts to bring back the Red-cockaded woodpecker. It's more than a race; it's a gathering place, a cause, and an unforgettable challenge. Join us and leave your mark on the trails!

For those wishing to wake up near the Start Line or to linger longer after the race, Stable View offers contemporary lodging - perfect for easing those post-race muscles - or RV Hook Ups. Participants can enjoy the peaceful country setting, but also not be too far away from dining, sightseeing and shopping in historic downtown Aiken.  Further details, pictures and booking for accommodations is on Airbnb or via email [email protected] to reserve directly with Stable View.  All RV reservations must reserve directly via Stable View.
