Last Human Standing - West Greenwich, RI
Last Human Standing is an elimination trail race held on private property adjacent to the Big River Management Area in West Greenwich, RI, on June 12, 2027. The event uses a repeated loop format: athletes must complete the loop in under 60 minutes to continue to the next loop. The race proceeds in consecutive loops until a single athlete remains; the final competitor must be present at the starting line and complete one more loop than the second to last nonfinisher to be declared the winner.
The course is a 3.8 mile loop with about 450 ft of vertical gain per lap. The route begins on double-track for the first 0.5–0.6 miles, then shifts onto singletrack that weaves across the double-track; arrows and orange flags on the right mark the way. Terrain features include rocks, roots, and low-lying logs, and the trails are those commonly used for mountain biking. Although the property is private, the area is accessible via the Big River Management Area and is open to non-motorized trail users.
Base camp at the start/finish area includes a fully stocked aid station and space for pop-up tents and crew setups. Parking is limited; the site address is disclosed to registrants and their crews. Organizers recommend that participants carry some of their own supplies in addition to what the aid station provides. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
