Last Dot Standing and 24/48 Hour by TJM Racing

Last Dot Standing and 24/48 Hour by TJM Racing takes place in Belleville, Wisconsin, on September 18–19, 2026. Ten Junk Miles Racing offers a full menu of timed trail formats: a 48-hour and two 24-hour options (one starting Friday, September 18 at 6:00 a.m., the other Saturday at 6:00 a.m.), two 8-hour events on Saturday (a morning start at 6:00 a.m. and an evening start at 10:00 p.m.), and a Last Person Standing race starting Saturday at 7:00 a.m., where runners repeat a loop every hour until only one remains.

Consider the 8-hour if you want to try an ultra without committing to a night: the morning start gives you a full day of daylight running. The 24-hour and 48-hour are for experienced ultrarunners with a plan for sleep, fueling and crew. The Last Person Standing format is its own puzzle, since the challenge is not speed but the ability to keep restarting on the hour. Whatever you pick, build with long, easy runs and practice walking breaks early rather than late.
