This November join a community of endurance athletes for a dual in person (held at Flying E Ranch in Wickenburg, Arizona) & virtual Last Person Standing competition. The Lone Cactus LPS challenges runners across the nations to join together for an event that will test their physical endurance, mental toughness, and skills in time management. A race against the clock and a fight to outlast one another, this LPS is dual action and live-streamed around the world!
The rules are simple. Every competitor will start at the same time to complete 4.16667 miles every 60 minutes. Runners will participate virtually online and must check in at the start of every round. If a runner misses the start, they are disqualified. The competition will continue every 60 minutes until only one person is left.
Lone Cactus LPS will be presented LIVE online with a view from the in person event in Wickenburg, Arizona and gives runners and our community the opportunity to take part in this unique event. Take on this challenge and enjoy the camaraderie of those in pursuit of finding their limit alongside you. Who will prove their resolve? Who will stand strong in the end? Who will be crowned the Lone Cactus? Join us this Fall, runners and spectators all, Saturday, November 21st.

The in person option will be held at the private dude ranch "Flying E Ranch" in Wickenburg, Arizona - a 1 hour drive from downtown Phoenix on November 21, 2020. The first loop will start at 8:00 AM Mountain Standard Time and commence every hour beyond until just one runner is left.

Race Timing
All on site Lone Cactus runners will wear a race bib with a timing chip on the back. This will track your laps. You must cross a mat at the start of the corral in 59 minutes after the start of each hour in order to continue. You must then leave the corral within 30 seconds of the start of each hour.
We've introduced this larger corral so we can comply with social distancing protocols. We ask all entrants to wear a face covering when in the front of the corral.

YOUR PLACE
You choose the place you want to compete. Measure a 4.16667 mile loop, an out and back in your neighborhood, track it on a track, or keep it simple and hop on the treadmill. Just make sure you can check in online every time you complete the mile.
ONE RACE
