The Last Wolf, Kings Mountain NC

The Last Wolf is a Last Man Standing style event held in Kings Mountain, NC. Runners repeat a 3.1 mile (5K) loop on trail and gravel surfaces with some uphill and downhill sections. The event continues until only one runner remains.

The time limit for each loop changes in a repeating cycle. Loop times increase from 40 to 45 to 50 to 55 to 60 minutes and then reset to 40 minutes. If a runner fails to complete a loop within the current time limit they are eliminated. To claim victory the final remaining runner must complete one final solo loop within the active time limit; if that loop is not completed in time there is no winner.

Aid station provisions include basic food items such as pickles, cereal, pretzels, candy, fruit, and bacon, plus hydration options including water, Tailwind, and a variety of sodas. First aid supplies will be available at the aid station.

Additional event rules note that bibs must be worn visibly on the front, trekking poles are not allowed, and no dogs or strollers are permitted on course unless a special exception is granted. Entry fees are non refundable if the event is canceled, and unregistered participants are not allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
