Last One Standing at Bradley

Last One Standing at Bradley, California

Last One Standing takes place on September 18, 2026 at Smith Ranch in Bradley, California (8029 Lynch Canyon Road). The event uses a repeated loop format in which participants run the same course each circuit until only one runner completes a final lap.

Each circuit is a loop of 4.18 miles. Runners have one hour to complete each loop; finishing within the hour allows a runner to start the next loop only if they are in the start corral at the beginning of that hour. Failure to complete a loop within the hour results in a DNF.

The course is 100% dirt on trail and ranch roads, marked with green surveyors tape, with gross elevation change of +332' and -332'. No aid stations are located on the course; runners are expected to carry their own water and food while on a loop. One staffed aid station will be available for the duration of the event.

Key rules include a limit of two-person crews at the race starting area, no non-competitors on course including eliminated runners, no artificial aids including trekking poles, and no non-competitor pacers. Whistle warnings (three, two, and one blows) signal lineup for the next loop. Assigned bibs must be worn visibly on the front. No refunds, transfers, or deferrals are permitted.

Amenities listed for the event include portable restrooms, camp areas, a community oak BBQ pit, a group campfire at dusk, music, and on-site camping. Preregistration fees are listed as $150 and $175 after September 1, 2026; camp fees are $10 per vehicle per night payable to Smith Ranch at runner check-in. Participants receive a handcrafted Kukini amulet, an event sticker, and a custom event t-shirt; the final winner receives a custom western style trophy buckle.
