About

Last Man Standing Lake Placid brings the backyard ultra format to the wooded trails of Mt. Hovenberg, where runners tackle repeated loops in a deceptively simple test of endurance. Set in the forested surroundings of Lake Placid, the course offers an approachable trail setting with a demanding edge, blending scenic terrain with the mental pressure of returning to the start ready to go again and again. The atmosphere is equal parts supportive and brutally honest: every loop offers a chance to recover, regroup, and decide whether to keep pushing. That makes it welcoming for newcomers while still delivering a serious challenge for experienced trail runners. More than a conventional race, it is a contest of resilience, patience, and curiosity about just how far you can go.
