From the organizer

Join The Great Root Movement at Erwin Park — Cutlass Challenge Last Person Standing event.

The format is simple: one 4-mile loop every hour, on the hour. Keep showing up. Last one moving wins.

Entry is $45 plus a $1 ante for every loop you start. The pot grows with every loop — and the last person standing takes it all.

Cutlass is the flattest and fastest section of Erwin Park with only about 20 feet of gain per loop. This isn't about speed. It's about who refuses to stop.

A whiteboard will be on-site at the start — runners check in and log each completed loop as they come through.

As a bonus, we'll be giving away a few free race entries to our October Love Never Ends Trail Run.

Our friend Katie Durst will be onsite as our photographer.

Water and ice will be provided on-site. Runners are responsible for their own fuel and nutrition. Bring a chair, cooler, and canopy to set up camp between loops — sharing canopies with friends is encouraged.

Restrooms are available at Pecan Grove Pavilion, down the hill from the start. There are no porta-pots at the start line.

Refer to the map for parking and setup locations at the Airfield.

Lace up your shoes, embrace the challenge, and have fun!

Let's make a difference with The Great Root Movement 501(c)(3) Nonprofit, as proceeds go to those experiencing grief through child loss, domestic violence, and PTSD.  Through scholarships, support groups, and access to resources, TGRM helps women — and the first responders who serve them — find hope and purpose. Together, we are pacing others across finish lines once thought impossible. When you run, you help others rize.
