Last Dot Standing

Last Dot Standing and 24/48 Hour by Ten Junk Miles

The event is based at Belleville Community Park in Belleville, WI, and uses a point-to-point loop between the park and Dot's Tavern, a 70-year-old tavern located just off the trail. Each trip between Belleville and Dot's Tavern is 4.2 miles each way.

Last Dot Standing is a last-person-standing format in which participants run a 4.2-mile leg between the two locations within a one-hour window, alternating direction each hour. The cycle restarts each hour and continues until only one participant remains.

In addition to the Last Dot Standing format, the event includes two 24-hour races (one with a Friday start and one with a Saturday start), a 48-hour race, and two 8-hour options held on Saturday (day and night). Runners in these timed events complete as many back-and-forth trips between Belleville and Dot's Tavern as they choose.

Prizing for the Last Dot Standing event uses a registration fee pot mechanism: the pot is 25% of all registration fees, there is no cap on pot size, and the last person standing receives the greater of $500 or 50% of the pot. The last woman and the last man each receive the greater of $250 or 25% of the pot. Buckles are awarded for long-distance totals including 50, 100, 150, and 200 miles. Special prizes are given to the top three finishers in the 24- and 48-hour races.

A discount on registration is available for active military, veterans, and first responders. SWAG deadline: September 1, 2025. Registration closes September 1. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
