Rewild: Last Runner Standing Event
Rewild is a lap-based last runner standing event held at Historic Rural Hill in Huntersville, North Carolina. The course is a compact 1.75 mile loop that runs on trails, gravel roads, and rolling livestock fields and gains roughly 90 ft of elevation per lap. The course starts and finishes at a central Race HQ where runners may set up a base.
All participants begin each lap together. Laps start at set intervals with a shrinking clock; runners who do not begin within the first 20 seconds or who fail to complete a lap within the time limit are eliminated. Faster runners gain more rest before the next lap. The race continues until a single winner remains; if no runner finishes the final lap, the winner is the runner who completed the previous lap the fastest. Pacers are restricted once the event reaches certain mileage or a specified number of remaining runners.
Registration is limited to the first 150 registrants. Typical registration benefits include a custom sun hoodie, a souvenir race bib, escalating rewards at distance milestones, giveaways, and two beverages for registrants aged 21 and over. The event emphasizes eco-friendly practices: additional registration donations support Historic Rural Hill, and the event runs cup free and collects used apparel, shoes, and medals for recycling.
