Last One Standing Ultra
Last One Standing Ultra is a loop-format ultra running event held on the asphalt trails of the Mayor's Loop in St. George, Utah. The course keeps runners close to the Virgin River and offers views of the city. The event is self-supported and open to all entrants.
The adult Ultra uses a single 6-mile loop that is repeated. Each loop begins on a fixed interval and runners must return to the start/finish within the loop cutoff to remain in the race; failure to do so results in elimination. Sixteen regular laps are scheduled and a seventeenth final lap is run to determine overall winners.
The event includes several divisions: individual adults, relays, and a kids division. Relay teams may be two-person or four-person; two-person teams cover eight laps total and four-person teams cover four laps total. For the final lap both two-person and four-person relay teams must run and finish that lap together. The kids division runs a 5.3-mile loop and permits non-motorized transport such as bikes, scooters, roller blades, and unicycles; the kids loop omits the first 0.7-mile out-and-back of the adult course.
Logistics note the main park location as Crosby Family Confluence Park at 2099 S Convention Center Dr, St. George, UT. The aid station is located about halfway on the loop at St. James Park and will offer water and Gatorade but is unattended. Campsites may be set up at the park on race day and are not reservable.
Awards include a finishers medal after the first loop, a button for each lap completed, a belt buckle for completing all 17 loops, and champion awards for overall male and female winners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
