About Last Man Standing Ultra
PURPOSE OF EVENT
Through community events, races, and tournaments, Texan Playmakers is working toward developing a multi-sport facility in Willis, TX — designed for all ages.
This is a long-term, community-driven project, and every event helps move it forward.
Let’s build it together.
TWO RACES. ONE COMMUNITY. ONE PURPOSE.
Texan Playmakers is bringing back our race day on December 5 with two races happening together:
FAMILY 5K
A family-friendly 5K open to runners and walkers of all experience levels.
Run it. Walk it. Bring the family. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply coming out to enjoy the course, everyone is welcome.
LAST MAN STANDING ULTRA
Think you can outlast them all?
Runners will complete a 5K loop every 50 minutes. Make it back within the time limit, and you advance to the next round.
Then you do it again.
And again.
And again.
The race continues until only one eligible runner remains — the Last Man Standing.
The Family 5K will take place alongside the Last Man Standing event, bringing runners, families, spectators, and the community together for one big race-day atmosphere.
MORE THAN A RACE
This isn’t just a day for runners — it’s an all-out family event.
Throughout the day, enjoy:
- Food trucks
- Local vendor market
- Giant inflatable bounce house
- Snacks & refreshments
- Pictures with Santa
- Family-friendly activities
- You do not have to race to be part of the day.
Come cheer on the Last Man Standing competitors, support your friends and family in the 5K, bring the kids, shop local vendors, grab some food, and spend the day with the community.
Whether you’re racing, cheering, shopping, or just hanging out, there will be something happening for the whole family.
