The Wrath of Krampus: Last Person Standing
The Wrath of Krampus is a Last Person Standing running event scheduled for December 11, 2026 in Yucaipa, CA, organized by Yucaipa Adventure Company. The event uses a repeated loop format: each hour runners must complete a 4.167 mile loop and return to the start before the bell. Competitors who do not finish the loop within the hour are removed from the race.
The organizer describes the course as having unforgiving terrain and running into the night, where headlamps and the sound of the bell mark each lap. As hours pass the race shifts from daylight into darkness; basecamp provides warmth, firelight, and encouragement but limited comfort as the event continues. Camping spots are available in a limited number, listed by the organizer.
The format emphasizes persistence over a single defined loop rather than a fixed total distance or target time. The race narrative includes thematic elements about endurance and elimination, framing the last remaining participant as the event winner.
