Last One Standing at Bradley California 2026

Last One Standing at Bradley California is a backyard-style trail race in Bradley, California, with a simple rule that gets harder every hour: runners start a 4.18-mile loop, finish it within 60 minutes, and return to the start corral in time for the next loop. Anyone who misses the cutoff is out, and the race continues until only one runner can start again. The event is listed for September and uses the classic repeated-loop format rather than a fixed finish distance. The loop is entirely on dirt, trail, and ranch roads, marked with green surveyors tape. Each lap gains and loses 332 feet, so the climbing adds up quickly as the hours pass. The route is rated hilly, with some rocks, roots, or ruts underfoot, which means runners have to manage footing as well as pacing, food, sleepiness, and the pressure of being ready on the hour.
