The More Miles Last One Standing Challenge

The More Miles Last One Standing Challenge is a backyard style ultra running event held May 30, 2026 at Manidokan Camp and Retreat Center in Knoxville, MD. The event uses an official backyard format where participants complete a fixed loop each hour and may continue for as long as they are able. The winner is the last participant to complete the required loop within the hour.

Distances offered:

  • 4.167 miles official backyard loop
  • 1 mile backyard event with a 24 hour base and tie breaker miles thereafter

Every participant may camp on site and is allotted a designated 10 by 10 foot space for race day setup. Organizers provide an aid station with water, an ultra fuel drink mix, and light snacks. Campfire food will be available on Saturday evening and pancakes on Sunday morning. The event is cupless; participants should bring a bottle or collapsible cup. Showers are available and cabins with beds and air conditioning are offered approximately 200 meters from the start and finish area.

Participants receive official timing, a race t shirt, and a race bib. Prize money is planned for the Last One Standing champion and the assist; payouts are based on official race miles only. Official race rules restrict on course support, require headlamps between sunset and sunrise, and prohibit dogs and alcohol on site. The event also supports individual pledge per mile charity fundraising. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
