Lost One Standing in the Santa Ritas

The Lost One Standing is a Sky Pilots creation, an orienteering version of a Last One Standing backyard ultra.

Our version is a 12-hour event with 6 courses.

Everyone starts in the Blue category.  There will be a Blue mass start every 2 hours for all participants in this category. If you complete each course in less than 2 hours, you remain in Blue and you will start another (different) course at the 2-hour mark. Anyone finishing a course in more than 2 hours will switch to the Brown category.  In Brown you can start another course whenever you are ready. You may complete each course only once, and you can choose what order to do them. The winner (one in each category, Blue and Brown) will be the person who completes the most courses within 12 hours. Tiebreakers TDB. More details to follow.

Location:  South of Tucson near route 83, around 5000 ft elevation.
