Format and course
The Last Man Standing uses a repeating 3.1-mile (5K) loop. Time limits for each loop increase in a cycle of 40 → 45 → 50 → 55 → 60 minutes, then reset to 40 minutes and repeat. Runners who miss a cutoff are eliminated. A single runner must complete one final solo loop within the current time limit to claim victory; if that final solo loop is not completed in time, there is no winner.
The trail is primarily gravel, described as roughly a mile out and a little beyond, then back, with some elevation gain and descent. Aid station supplies include basic food items (for example, pickles, cereal, pretzels, candy, fruit, bacon), water, Tailwind, a variety of sodas, and first aid. Trekking poles, dogs, and strollers are not allowed on the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
