Last Mamba Standing
Welcome to Last Mamba Standing, the newest and most unforgiving challenge from Mamba Trail Runners.
This is a true Last Man Standing–style race, reduced to its rawest elements: one loop, one start every hour, and one rule—make the cutoff or your race is over. Every hour, on the hour, runners toe the line again. The clock resets. The pressure builds. Miss the cutoff once, and your race is finished.
The race takes place on private land in Eads, on trails where no one has ever raced and virtually no one has ever stepped foot. These are untouched, purpose-built trails created specifically for this event. Expect rolling hills, flowing singletrack, and beautiful natural terrain that pulls you deeper into the woods with every lap. Deer and wildlife are everywhere, and the setting is quiet, remote, and completely removed from the outside world.
This race isn’t about speed or flashy PRs.
It’s about mental toughness, relentless consistency, and the willingness to keep showing up when everything hurts. With every passing hour, the field shrinks. The silence grows heavier. The question becomes unavoidable:
Can you do one more lap?
Only one runner will earn the title Last Mamba Standing and take home a custom, one-of-a-kind award designed to sit proudly on a mantle or shelf. Every runner who completes at least one lap will receive a finisher medal—but only one runner will still be moving at the end.
If you’re looking for a race that is raw, exclusive, and brutally honest…
If you want to run trails that no one else has touched…
If you want to find out how deep your grit really goes…
Last Mamba Standing
The land is private.
The challenge is real.
The last runner wins.
Primitive Camping
Camp with us on Friday night, September 25th and wake up already at the start/finish line. We’ll have primitive camping spots available right by the start line, near the lake, or wherever you’d like to set up.
We’ll provide porta potties and hand-washing stations. Please plan to bring your own food, water, and all camping supplies. Both camping tents and 10×10 canopy tents are welcome.
Friday night will feature a big fire, music, and a laid-back hangout around the barn as we talk about the race ahead. This is a great opportunity to camp alongside both local runners and out-of-town athletes, swap stories, meet new people, and build friendships before toeing the line the next morning.
Make it a full weekend experience—not just a race.
Aid Station Information
There will be no traditional aid stations on the course or at the Start/Finish line. We will provide water, Tailwind, and basic trail snacks, like cookies, crackers, etc.
Runners are responsible for bringing any additional nutrition, gear, or supplies they may need during the race.
Awards / Swag
There can only be one finisher — and only one award.
This race is not split by male or female. When it comes to Last Mamba Standing, everyone lines up together, and only the final runner standing earns the top honor.
-Last Mamba Standing Champion Award
The Last Mamba Standing Top Award will be the most epic, custom award we’ve ever created in the history of Mamba Trail Runners. This is a true centerpiece award—designed to sit proudly on a mantle or shelf and represent grit, endurance, and survival. One winner. One award. No exceptions.
-Finisher Medal
All other runners who complete at least one lap will receive an official Last Mamba Standing medal.
-Race Shirt
Every registered runner will receive a Last Mamba Standing t-shirt.
This race is simple, brutal, and pure.
Outlast everyone… or take home the medal and the memories.
