Last Buckeye Standing

Lewis Center, United States • 9 Aug 2025

The Last Buckeye Standing Backyard Ultra is a challenging endurance running event held at Alum Creek State Park in Lewis Center, Ohio. Participants run a 4.167-mile loop on the scenic Alum Creek Hiking Trail, featuring grass ski paths and single-track trails with moderate elevation changes. The race follows a unique format where runners must complete each loop within one hour, starting a new loop every hour on the hour.

Those who fail to finish a loop or start the next on time are eliminated, continuing until only one runner remains. The course is mostly dry in August but may have muddy spots, and night loops require headlamps. The event emphasizes strategy, endurance, and steady pacing.
