Description:

The Backland is a last-man-standing trail race near the Texas and Oklahoma border. This race is run on majority trail with a bit of road. Our motto is “Run Till You Can’t”.

Only 36 people are allowed into the last-man-standing competition. Runners have 1 hour to complete a 4.5-mile loop. Every hour the gun will go off to start the new loop. If you finish the loop in an hour, you wait for the gun to go off again before you continue. If you don’t finish within 1 hour or you quit – you’re out and ring the bell. The last person standing is titled The Backland Champion.
