2026 Last Buckeye Standing Backyard Ultra

Race Information

The Last Buckeye Standing is a unique event for runners of all abilities, but only the strongest among them will be the LAST RUNNER STANDING.

The race will be begin at 7:00 a.m. and each runner will have exactly one hour to complete the 4.167 mile loop. If a runner fails to return within the hour, they are eliminated from the race. Runners can complete the course at whatever pace they choose, but they MUST finish the race and be ready to start the next race within 60 minutes. A new 4.167 mile race will begin every hour on the hour (10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and so on…) until only one runner is left standing.
