Last Man Standing - Rome
Rome, United States • 27 Mar 2026
Event Overview
The Don't Die in the Chair Last Man Standing is an endurance event held in Rome, Georgia, organized by the Three of Seven Project. Unlike standard backyard ultra rules, this competition utilizes a decreasing time limit for each loop completed. Participants must navigate a course consisting of 4-mile loops.
Format and Rules
The race features a format where the time allowed to finish a lap decreases by one minute every subsequent round. For example, the first loop has a cutoff of one hour, the second loop has a cutoff of 59 minutes, and the third has a cutoff of 58 minutes. This structure requires runners to maintain or increase their pace the longer the event continues. The event follows a "last one standing" principle.

- A registration and packet pickup area at the start line.
