About the race
Last Mamba Standing is an official Backyard Ultra format trail race organized by Mamba Trail Runners in Eads, TN, held on private land.
The race uses a repeating loop format: each lap is 4.167 miles and runners start a new lap every hour. If a runner fails to make the cutoff for a lap their race is over. Runners compete together in a single field and the event awards one overall champion; there are no separate male or female divisions.
The course consists of purpose built, previously unused trails with rolling hills, flowing singletrack, and natural terrain. The setting is quiet and remote and the route passes through areas with wildlife.
Primitive camping is available the night before near the start/finish area and the lake. Organizers provide porta potties and hand washing stations. Participants should bring their own food, water, and camping supplies; both standard tents and 10×10 canopy tents are allowed. A communal evening with a fire, music, and gathering near the barn is planned the night before.
There are no traditional aid stations on course. Event staff will supply water, Tailwind, and basic trail snacks; runners are responsible for additional nutrition and gear. All registered runners receive a race shirt, runners who complete at least one lap receive a finisher medal, and one final runner receives a custom champion award. The event has a no refund and no deferral policy. An entry fee of USD 163.25 is listed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
