Last Stand Adventure Race

Are you ready to test your wits, choose your own adventure, and support an incredible cause? Welcome to the Last Stand Adventure Race—a one-of-a-kind outdoor challenge that is part 5K, part scavenger hunt, part woodland romp, and pure fun! 

The Challenge: You Control the Course

Forget standard, boring race routes. In this race, there is no fixed course.
The Mission: Leave the starting line with a map, find 5 to 7 hidden control points, and collect a unique token at each one.
The Distance: Expect to cover about 3 to 4 miles total to hit every point.
The Strategy: How you get there is entirely up to you! Conquer the map in a clockwise circle, tackle a counter-clockwise zig-zag, or create your own wild shortcut through the woods.
No Compass Needed: Just bring your sharp eyes and a sense of adventure. We will even send out the checkpoint map well in advance so you can scout the terrain and plan your winning strategy beforehand.

The Victory & The Swag

Whether you are sprinting for the podium or enjoying a scenic morning in nature, everyone walks away a winner.
The Podium: The first three competitors to return to the finish line with all tokens in hand will claim ultimate bragging rights and be declared the official champions.

Family Winners:  The first family unit to finish will win the "Family Award".
The Loot: Every single participant will score awesome race amenities, including a premium commemorative event shirt and a custom finisher belt buckle to show off your achievement.

Fun for Everyone (Families & Walkers Welcome!)
While there is a thrilling element of challenge, this event is ultimately about community, fresh air, and having a blast. Walkers are warmly welcomed, and it makes for a perfect, action-packed morning activity with the family. Gather your crew, explore the woods, and hunt for tokens together!

Racing for a Greater Purpose
Your footsteps make a real difference. A portion of all race proceeds will go directly to the Semper Fi & America's Fund, providing critical support and vital assistance to wounded military personnel, veterans, and their families with severe medical needs.  Donations are welcome!

Sign up today, plot your path, and make your stand!
