The Wrath of Krampus: Last Person Standing
The Wrath of Krampus is a backyard-style ultramarathon held in the foothills of Yucaipa, California. The event follows a specific format where participants must complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour. The race continues until only one runner remains capable of completing a loop within the designated sixty-minute window.
The course consists of a single 4.167-mile loop on terrain described as unforgiving with various switchbacks. The event takes place during the night, requiring the use of headlamps as the race stretches into the darkness. Participants who fail to finish a loop before the bell rings at the start of the next hour or those who choose not to continue are removed from the competition.
The event basecamp provides firelight and a central location for runners between laps. Limited camping spots are available for the event through the local municipality. The race is organized by the Yucaipa Adventure Company and emphasizes endurance and mental resolve over traditional racing speed.
