Organiser's Description
LOST SOULS - THE RACE THAT FINDS YOU
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12TH, 2026
AS MANY LOOPS AS YOU CAN IN 8 HOURS
BACKGROUND:
Last Trail Standing (November) and Rise Up Hero (May) are awesome sister races along the trails of Settlers Cabin Park that both offer various race distances up to 50K.
BUT...
I've been wanting to create a different kind of race.
One that would truly test people mentally, physically, and emotionally.
So...I went searching for the most challenging small loop at Settlers Cabin Park andI think I found it.
A brutal ~5K (unpublished and partly made up) trail loop that climbs roughly 550 feet of elevation every loop.
HERE'S HOW THE RACE WORKS:
You can sign up for the 5K Loopy Loop if you simply want to experience the course and enjoy the challenge. You run 1 loop for the honor of saying you ran the 5K loop from hell.
Or
You can sign up for the ENDURE challenge and you do as many loops as you can possibly endure in 8 hours. Unlike backyard ultra formats, you DO NOT have to start each loop on the hour. You start when you think you're ready to take on another soul shattering journey.
Runners will work to complete the maximum race distance of 10 loops or as many loops as they can within 8 hours.
Each loop brings you back to the start, where you must decide:
Do you continue to endureor do you ring the bell and proudly take your wood chip and loop count with you.
The maximum is 10 loops, making it a 50K ultra with ~5,500 feet of elevation gain.
Awards will be given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall male and female runners who complete all 10 loops.
This race isn't just for ultra runners wanting an incredibly hard 50K challenge. It's also for the people who want to dig deep and see how far they can go. The spirit of the race is to endure for as long as you can.
And once you're ready to tap, you ring the bell and you receive a unique keep sakea reminder of the moment you faced the course, the struggle, and what you discovered about yourself along the way.
Lost Souls isnt just about finishing.
Its about finding out how much you can endure and what you learn about yourself along the way.
It's when we're most challenged, that we see our truest self.
If it breaks you, it builds you.
If it strips you, if finds you.
