Dark Horse 24/48hr Ultra Run

Dive into the heart of endurance at the Dark Horse 24 & 48 Hour Ultra Run, an unforgettable challenge nestled within Stable View Equestrian Facility's serene grounds in Aiken, South Carolina. This unique race invites runners to push their limits over a meticulously maintained 4-mile loop that offers both scenic beauty and strategic pacing opportunities.
The event unfolds with the camaraderie of the Yeti community—supportive, enthusiastic, and unapologetically loud. Whether you're aiming for distance milestones or simply seeking an immersive weekend experience, Dark Horse provides a blend of determination, celebration, and adventure under the stars. The looped course ensures that help is always nearby, with fellow runners ready to share stories, laughter, and encouragement through every lap.
Registration options include solo 24-hour and 48-hour runs as well as relay teams for the longer event. Participants can choose from a range of accommodation solutions, including on-site lodging at Stable View or nearby hotels like The Willcox in downtown Aiken.
Race timing is handled by ZEN ARCADE TIMING, ensuring accurate tracking with real-time updates and live lap counts throughout both events.
A highlight of Dark Horse is the finisher's recognition system: custom medals for various distance achievements and special awards for top teams. Additionally, runners are encouraged to set up personal canopies at designated spots within the facility.
The on-site bistro and pub serve as a central hub where participants can refuel with hot meals and cold drinks while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere that defines this event.
