The More Miles Last One Standing Challenge

The More Miles Last One Standing Challenge is an endurance running event held in Knoxville, Maryland, featuring a unique "last one standing" format. Participants run a 4.167-mile loop, known as "the yard," every hour on the hour, completing each lap within the hour to continue. The race continues until only one runner remains able to finish the loop on time.

The event also offers a 1-mile version designed for beginners, kids, and walkers, lasting 24 hours with a tie-breaker adding miles until a winner emerges. Prize money is awarded to the top two finishers based on total miles run. The event fosters a competitive yet community atmosphere and serves as a qualifier for the Backyard Ultra world championship.
