Endurance Event Structure
The Last One Standing is an endurance running event held at a farm in York, Pennsylvania. The format follows a last-person-standing model where participants must complete a specific distance every hour to remain in the competition. The course consists of approximately 1 mile loops around the property.
Course and Rules
Participants are required to complete three loops of the course every hour, totaling approximately 5 km per hour. All remaining runners start together at the beginning of each hour. To stay in the race, a runner must finish all three loops before the next hour begins. Failure to complete the loops within the one-hour window results in elimination. There are no scheduled breaks; any time remaining after finishing the three loops and before the start of the next hour is used for resting and refueling. The event continues until only one runner is left to complete the required distance.

The event location is at 2950 Lewisberry Rd. Participants are expected to be self-sufficient during the competition.
