About the Last Soul Ultra
Last Soul is built as both an endurance contest and a live production. A lottery selected 150 runners for the second edition, while the organizer deliberately keeps the venue private and does not admit on-site spectators. During the race, viewers can follow the English-language livestream or the German-language livestream. The timing link records every completed yard as the field narrows to one runner.
Course
Every runner starts a 6.7 km lap on the hour and must finish it before the next bell. Anyone who misses the time limit or fails to return to the corral is out. The final remaining athlete must complete one additional solo lap to win. The route and exact venue are intentionally not public, so there is no responsible basis for describing terrain, elevation, or nearby services beyond the organizer's base-camp rules.
