Dead Last Ultra

Sutton, Massachusetts – Dead Last Ultra is a backyard ultramarathon at historic Waters Farm in Sutton, Massachusetts. The rules are simple. The race is not.
Every runner has one hour to complete a 4.2 mile loop. Finish in time and you’re back on the line for the next one, on the hour, every hour. Fall short and you’re out. We run day into night into day until one runner is left standing, the one who finishes dead last. That’s the win. Everyone else went home early.
The course is half of what makes this race. Roughly half runs through wooded trail with stretches along Lake Manchaug. The other half opens into farm pasture, past barns built at the same time this country was getting going. You’ll learn the loop in daylight and meet it again in the dark, when it shows you something different. Cool late-October New England nights make for fast loops and a long, honest fight.
Waters Farm is a 1757 hilltop homestead, farmed by six generations and preserved on the National Register of Historic Places. We’re proud to be the first to bring a backyard ultra to this ground.
