The Magnificent Bastard’s Challenge is a last runner standing style event hosted in Corinth VT. Unlike typical last runner standing events, this one is hosted on a small ski slope called Northeast Slopes where runners have 20 minutes to complete a 1-mile loop and get back to the start to do it again. The course has a total of 330 feet of climbing. Though there is only one winner, runners and ruckers who last 8 hours will receive a medal. The event goes until there is only one runner left.
For the Ruckers, males will carry 35 pounds and females will carry 25 pounds in their ruck and have 30 minutes to complete the loop. At hour 9, the time drops to meet with the runners at 20 minutes.
The 24th mile (which is also the minimum to receive a medal) will be a fast lap for anyone that wants to test their speed. There will be a special prize for the person who completes this lap in the fastest time.
All runners that sign up prior to June 25th will be guaranteed custom Race Mozey silkies. Runners who sign up after that date will not be guaranteed silkies unless we have extra or other runners do not show up.
Honor Lap
You may not want to do the Last Man Standing, but there is someone that we want to honor by doing 1 loop of the course at your speed. Sign up for the Honor Lap and the registration will all go towards Northeast Slopes. You can show up at anytime (while the event is still happening), check in, and hit your lap at your pace.
The event is named after race director Jason Mozey’s Marine battalion of 2nd battalion 4th marines who’s nickname are “The Magnificent Bastards”. Each loop that is ran is in memory of a Marine from the battalion who lost their lives during an American conflict in the battalion’s history.

Last Rucker Standing event, and I took on the challenge with a 30-pound pack. The course was a demanding one-mile route with a 300-foot elevation gain in the first half mile. The atmosphere was electric, with incredibly strong competitors tackling the ski slope alongside me. My strategy was to maintain consistent lap times and push through the grueling slope up the mountain. I’m pleased to report that I was able to stick to my planned pace throughout the entire day and night. A big thank you to Race Mozey for organizing such an incredible event!
