In this unique endurance challenge, participants tackle a 6.706 km loop every hour, striving to outlast each other until only one remains. The Last Man Standing race emphasizes stamina over speed, requiring competitors to manage their time and energy effectively throughout this relentless test of limits. Inspired by Tennessee's Big Backyard Ultra and organized by the founder of the Barkley Marathons, the event pushes riders to their endurance thresholds as they continuously repeat the loop. It's a battle of resolve, where the goal is to persist until quitting is the only option left.
