Rumble on the Ridge

Arena, United States • 16 May 2026

Rumble on the Ridge is a Last Person Standing endurance event held on a private dairy farm in Arena, Wisconsin, in the Driftless Area.

The route changes year to year and isn’t published until race day, with the course direction reversing every four hours to keep things dynamic. The field is capped at 75 participants, and The Barnyard Basecamp serves as the start corral, aid station, and spectator hub.
