More Miles Last One Standing Challenge
The More Miles Last One Standing Challenge is a backyard-style ultra held at Manidokan Camp and Retreat Center in Knoxville, Maryland. The event's 8th annual running begins on June 5, 2027 and follows the official backyard ultra format: participants run a fixed loop each hour and must complete that loop within the hour to continue.
Distances:
- 4.167 miles per hourly loop for the official backyard ultra.
- 1 mile Mortals Edition, running 24 hours with additional one-mile tie-breaker hours until one remains.
Every participant receives official timing, a race t-shirt, and a race bib. Camping on-site for Friday and Saturday nights is included with registration; each participant is allocated a 10x10 space at the start/finish village. Race organizers provide an on-course aid station and a basecamp aid station with water, drink mix, ice, and a rotating snack program that shifts from cold or dry items early on to hot items later in the event. Showers are available and cabins with beds and air conditioning are located about 400 meters from the start/finish area.
This is a cupless event; participants should bring a personal bottle or cup. Prize money is offered to both the Last One Standing champion and the assist, paid based on official race miles only. The race holds Silver Level status for backyard ultras. Standard backyard race rules apply regarding on-course assistance, crew access, and use of personal lighting between sunset and sunrise.
