Last Dot Standing
Last Dot Standing is a last person standing running event held between Belleville Community Park in Belleville, WI and Dot's Tavern, a 70 year old tavern located just off the trail. The format alternates between the two locations: each hour the race restarts and participants have one hour to complete a run of 4.2 miles to the opposite location. Runners continue this pattern of hourly 4.2 mile runs, alternating Belleville to Dot's and Dot's to Belleville, until only one participant remains.
Aid stations are placed every 4.2 miles along the route. In addition to the Last Dot Standing event, the schedule includes multi hour distance options: 24 hour races (with starts on different days), a 48 hour race, and 8 hour races. In those multi hour events, participants run between Belleville and Dot's for as many laps as they choose within the allotted time.
The event description focuses on the back and forth loop between the park and the tavern, the fixed lap distance, and the hourly restart structure. The course and support setup reflect the repeated 4.2 mile interval between the two locations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
