Event format and distances

The Last Wolf is a backyard-ultra style event that uses a repeating 3.1-mile loop. The time allowed per loop increases through a cycle of 40, 45, 50, 55, then 60 minutes, then resets and repeats. Runners who miss the cutoff for a loop are eliminated. The final winner must complete one solo loop within the current time limit; if that solo loop is not completed in time, the race can end with no winner.

Distances:

  • Last Man Standing format
  • 50K
  • 25K
  • 5K
