NUMBER 1 and NUMBER 2…both kept a blistering pace for 50 miles!

Age is just a number…this gentleman, 74 years young, out riding 50 miles in August!

FUN, FUN, FUN!

Started riding bikes, let alone gravel, only 2 years ago…now taking on 50 and 100 mile rides! Well done!

All the way from TX to enjoy the NWA gravel!

Don’t think there is any doubt these gentlemen are having a good time!

On a mission…this couple finished the 50 mile and went ahead and added the 25 “just for fun”

The very first “Last Person Standing” event was a smashing success: Check out what a few people had to say!

“It was a great event and a very challenging run, that I will definitely be more mentally and physically prepared for next year.  . My favorite part is the new friends that I met and comradery from, at the time complete strangers.  This is definitely an event that I will attend again.  Thank you all for putting on a great challenging and unique event. 
 So great to meet you and Bennett and all the rest of the supportive team that made this happen.”
— Martha Pierce
“What I enjoyed most was the race culture that developed after a few laps—the different groups that came in close together and the ways folks encouraged one another. Even though it was a race to last person standing, there was a great spirit to it.” 
— Preston Jones
“The hard part isn’t the running,  it’s knowing that at some point you’ll have to stop”.
— Barrett Eldridge
“The Last Person Standing was such a fun, unique, and challenging event.  The race was well organized and everyone involved was extremely encouraging and helpful.  This race is appropriate for casual runners who want to have a good time to more competitive runners who really want to challenge themselves.  I hope this becomes an annual event as I loved pushing myself as far as I could go, and then thoroughly enjoyed cheering on the ‘Last People Standing’ as they completed each mile.”
— Marc Hawbaker
“ Running as a large group helped push me to go farther than I thought I could go.  When I thought I was done and ready to go out, I told myself I had 40% more and I kept going!   It felt more like a team challenge even though I knew it was an individual race. 
The trail had lots of different terrain which made the race more interesting than pavement running.  I loved the challenge and look forward to next year!”
— Jude Hobbs
“Thank you for hosting this, I know all of our group from Alternative Design had a blast.  It was well organized, great location, enthusiastic staff, just an all around positive experience. I really liked the small scale of it, and it was great to see the same faces lap after lap throughout the day. It was an amazing mix of competition and fellowship, and we’ll definitely be returning next year!”
— Cody Ulago
“It was certainly a fun and grueling morning! This was my first trail run EVER! I set a goal and surpassed it more than I could have imagined. From what I understand, this was a pretty technical course for being only 1 mile. The best part was how encouraging and supportive everyone was. 
And for what it’s worth, I went and signed up for a 10 mile trail run later this year to keep going. Looking forward to seeing how far I can go next year!”
— Tiffany Hood
