Last Human Standing - West Greenwich, RI

Last Human Standing - West Greenwich, RI

Last Human Standing is scheduled for June 12, 2027, on private property adjacent to the Big River Management Area in West Greenwich, RI. The event address is disclosed to registrants and their crews. Parking at the site is limited, and entrants are asked to limit vehicle numbers to one per runner.

The race uses a repeated loop format on a 3.8 mile circuit with approximately 450 ft of vertical gain per loop. Runners must complete each loop in less than 60 minutes to earn the right to run the next loop. Laps repeat in one-hour cycles for those who qualify. The event continues in this pattern until a single athlete remains; the final competitor must be standing at the start line ready for the next cycle and complete one additional loop beyond the second to last non finisher to be declared the Last Human Standing.

The course begins on double-track for about 0.5 to 0.6 miles, then turns onto singletrack that weaves across the double-track. Marking includes arrows and orange flags on the right. Terrain features rocks, roots, and low-lying logs on trails commonly used for mountain biking; these trails are accessible via the Big River Management Area and are open to non-motorized users.

The start/finish area provides a fully stocked aid station and space for pop up tents and crew setups. Racers are advised to bring personal supplies; many competitors use a combination of their own gear and what the aid station provides. The organizer maintains a website and a Facebook group for additional event information. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
