Aiken Trailblazer Half Marathon/15K/5K at Stable View

The Aiken Trailblazer is an inaugural Half Marathon, 15K, 5K and Fun Run trail race at the beautiful Stable View equestrian facility, sprawling over 1,000 acres of gently rolling hills bordered by canopies of forest. 
Participants will receive a finisher's medal, a super cool t'shirt, the best post-race food (prepared by Chef Steve) and access to hot showers. 
Over all awards go to the top 3 female/male finishers for the half marathon and the 5K.
Participants can enjoy the peaceful country setting, but also not be too far away from dining, sightseeing and shopping in historic downtown Aiken. Stable View features a variety of modern, well equipped accommodations with full kitchens or kitchenettes, smart TVs, and other comfortable amenities. Consider renting a three bedroomed Bungalows, a Hunt Box or a one or two bedroom Apartment. Further details, pictures and booking is at StableView(verticalbooking.com)
Stable View has become “a gathering place” and is pleased to be hosting the inaugural “gathering race”.  Beyond popular equestrian use, the trails on 850 acres of conserved land lend themselves to this race.  Participants will follow a relatively flat course surrounded by longleaf pines in the South Carolina Sandhills – a transitional zone between the Piedmont and Coastal regions.  The trails wind through an ecosystem of diverse flora, fauna, and geologic history.
Stable View’s conservation initiatives are: to restore and promote a healthy longleaf pine forest with the use of prescribed fire; reintroduction of the endangered Red-cockaded woodpecker; and to increase the population of the Eastern bluebird, Bobwhite Quail, Wild Turkey, and other grassland birds
