Death By Segment
Death By Segment is a modified last man standing running event held on S Oak St in Spindale, NC. Participants repeat the same short course segment until only one runner remains.
Runners cover a 0.34 mile segment repeatedly. For the first hour the segment is run every 6 minutes. Each subsequent hour the time to complete the segment is reduced by 1 minute. After the fourth hour the allowed completion time is capped at 3 minutes.
The event pauses for 10 minutes every two hours to allow for restroom breaks. The competition ends when a single participant remains.
Registration opens on February 2, 2026 and closes on June 5, 2026. Registration is free. The event is organized by the Spindale Burrito League. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
