The Last Wolf is a Last Man Standing race held in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, utilizing a 3.1-mile gravel loop. Participants begin new loops consecutively until they either fail to meet a cutoff time or choose to stop. The cutoff time is dynamic, cycling through 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 minutes before resetting to 40 minutes and repeating this pattern. This shifting time limit creates periods of intense urgency followed by more relaxed intervals. The loop consists primarily of gravel, featuring both uphill and downhill segments. The course is structured as an out-and-back, with runners traveling approximately one mile out before turning back. A runner's race concludes upon missing the current time limit. To achieve victory, the final remaining runner must complete an additional loop solo within the active cutoff time; failure to finish this last loop within the limit results in no winner. Aid stations provide basic food items, eschewing an extensive course-wide selection.

The 5K course is a true trail run, featuring challenging terrain in the back woods, paths through hardwoods, and sections along the waterfront. Runners finish downhill through a sensory trail, integrating the ranch's natural setting into the course. Walkers begin after the runners, allowing the shorter walk to occur in the same morning without impacting the 5K start. The Half-Pint Run is designed for young children, and those not participating in the race can support the ranch through donations.
