About the Battle of the Run Clubs
The race is held at Stable View Farm, a country property outside of Aiken. The format is cross country team scoring, with several distance options spread across the morning, plus a short obstacle course that threads through horse jumps, ditches, and water features. Teams are built from run clubs, friend groups, or family, and solo entrants get folded into mixed teams so nobody sits out the scoring.
After the last wave finishes, the farm stays open for food from the Stable View Graze and Gaze spread, lawn games, and drinks at the on-site Tavern. Showers are available on the property, and for those who want to make a weekend of it, the farm offers lodging and RV hookups directly on site.

The Battle of the Run Clubs has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
