Last Man Standing - Saturday, September 13, 2025

Please contact Jena Swanson at jenafox@warrenymca.org or Chris Dolan at chris@warrenymca.org for additional information or race details. Camping/lodging information is also available by contacting Jena.
There can be only one winner. Everyone will start at the same time, every hour. The goal is to make it all the way around the 4.1-mile Tuttletown-Coal Knob Loop within the hour. You only need to hold an average of a 14:38 minute mile to make it back in time. If you complete the loop before the hour is up you can use the remaining time to rest and fuel up for the next loop. Fail to make it back to the starting line in under an hour and you will be eliminated from the race. This will continue until there is only 1 racer left, who will be crowned the WINNER and will receive a cash prize based on the number of registered runners! The Tuttletown-Coal Knob Loop is a mild trail with rolling hills and a few rocky areas. It is very well maintained and is a fast course. Snacks and hydration available at the trailhead. Runners are able to have a race crew standing by for assistance if needed.
Start: 7:00 am and every hour until a winner is declared
