Highlander Last One Standing
The Highlander Last One Standing is a backyard ultra set on the Murthly Castle Estate in Perthshire. Runners repeat a measured loop of 4.167 miles and must complete each loop within one hour to be at the start line ready to begin the next loop. Any runner not finished and at the start line in time is disqualified. The sequence continues until a single runner completes a solo loop inside the time limit and is declared the winner.
Entry information notes an entry fee of £108/110. There are no specific entry requirements; the event is described as a test of endurance. Race information, camping details and practical arrangements are provided in a pre-race information pack sent to competitors.
Key race rules include no transfer of place, no muling, no walking poles, no support runners or bikes on course, and no receiving food or drink from outside help while on the course. Mandatory kit to be carried at the aid station includes a foil blanket, water container, food, a working mobile phone with race control entered, a small first aid kit and a race vest. Support crew must attend registration and bring required support crew paperwork.
If a competitor reaches 24 hours of running they receive a 100 mile medal. All non-winning finishers are recorded as DNF and receive a medal; all participants in the Last One Standing ultra receive a race top and the last male and female standing receive trophies. Deferral and refund policies are set out by the organiser, with limited refunds depending on timing and circumstances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
