The Gambler Last Man Standing
The Gambler Last Man Standing is a unique endurance running event held at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama. Participants run repeated 2-mile laps, each to be completed within 40 minutes, with the challenge continuing until only one runner remains. Each completed lap earns a poker chip worth $1, which can be cashed out at specific milestones up to 100 miles.
Beyond 100 miles, time limits decrease, and no more chips are earned or cashed out. The course features mostly trails with some road sections and a scenic lakeside backdrop, with 183 feet of elevation gain per lap. The event offers aid stations, allows pacers between 20 and 100 miles, and awards swag at key distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
