The Magnificent Bastards Challenge
East Corinth, United States • 26 Jul 2025
The Magnificent Bastards Challenge, held in Corinth, Vermont, is a unique endurance event honoring fallen Marines from the 2nd Battalion 4th Marines. It features a Last Man Standing race with 1-mile loops that include 300 feet of climbing, each to be completed within 20 minutes, repeated until only one runner remains. A special fast 24th mile lap offers a prize for the quickest time.
The event also includes a Last Rucker Standing competition, where participants carry weighted packs over similar loops with gradually decreasing time limits. Additionally, an Honor Lap allows participants to complete a single loop at their own pace, supporting Northeast Slopes. Medals and custom gear are awarded to finishers.
