About this race
Last Runners Standing is an elimination running race held in Langenboom, North Brabant. It features repeated starts with a strict cutoff after each round. Participants select loops of either 4 or 5 kilometers, with the total distance varying from approximately 5 to 50 kilometers based on their endurance within the time limit. The concept is straightforward, yet demanding: each new round intensifies the challenge, and any runner failing to meet the cutoff is eliminated.
The race utilizes a recurring loop within De Kuilen, meaning participants repeatedly traverse the same course as fatigue alters their perception. Information regarding the surface is mixed, with some sources indicating it is unpaved and others listing it as paved; runners are advised to confirm with the organizer regarding footwear. The event has a capacity of 150 participants and attracts both seasoned athletes and recreational runners. The competition tests not only speed but also pacing strategy and perseverance. The race continues until only one individual remains as the Last Runner Standing.
