Last of the Felascans
Last of the Felascans is a backyard ultra held in Alachau, FL at San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park. Participants run a repeated loop of 4.167-mile each hour; the loop distance is defined so a competitor who completes a full day covers 100 miles. There is no predefined finish. The winner is the competitor who completes a loop that no other competitors complete; if no single competitor outlasts all others, there is no winner.
The course uses trails by day and a dirt road after dark; there is no pavement on either course. There will be a maximum 10'x10' area for each runner to set up base camp at the start/finish. There are no aid stations on course and no aid allowed outside the start/finish area. Bathrooms and water will be available at the start/finish; ice may be available.
Race procedure and enforcement are explicit: runners must be in the starting corral when the bell rings, must start when the bell rings, and may receive no assistance after the bell until they complete the yard. Runners receive a whistle at 3, 2, and 1 minute remaining before the start of each yard. Event shirts will be provided; the Last Person Standing receives a special trophy. Registration closes Nov 18. There are no refunds for dropouts; entry fees for runners who drop out are donated to Friends of San Felasco. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
