Last Man Standing Lake Placid
Last Man Standing Lake Placid is a backyard ultra held on the wooded trails at Mt. Hovenberg in Lake Placid, New York. The event follows the Backyard Ultra format. Participants must complete one 4.167-mile loop every hour; if a participant fails to start a loop on time, they are eliminated.
If a participant finishes a loop early, they may rest, refuel, or prepare before the next bell, but they must return to the corral before the next bell rings. The event can result in a wide range of finished distances, depending on how many loops each participant completes.
Registration opens August 23, 2026 and closes July 31, 2027. Entry fees vary by field size: $125 for 0–100 participants, $135 for 101–150, $145 for 151–175, and $155 for 176–200; entries beyond 200 are placed on a waitlist.
Race giveaways include shirts and medals. New for 2027 are award ribbon sliders that attach to medal ribbons for reaching specific ultra distance milestones: 26.2, 50k, 50 Mile, 100K, 100 Mile, 125 Mile, and 150 Mile. Official awards listed for the event include Overall Champion, Top Other Gender Overall, Masters Male and Female (40+), and Grand Masters Male and Female (50+).
