Course, format and logistics

The course is a 3.3-mile loop over dirt roads, double-track trails, and maintained grassy sections, with about 49 feet of elevation gain per loop. There is one aid station at the start/finish that will be stocked with snacks, drinks, PBJ, coffee and hydration mix. Packet pickup is at the aid station/merch tent on the Friday before the event. Last Man Standing runners must complete each loop within a 48-minute interval and return to the start line each interval; runners receive 5, 2 and 1-minute warnings before each loop. Finishers who complete at least one loop receive a medal; 100-mile finishers receive a buckle. The Last Man Standing winner receives an engraved cannonball. The event runs rain or shine except in specified extreme conditions; refunds are not offered but race credits and transfers are available under stated conditions.
