Rise Up Hero 2027 uses the exact same iconic Last Trail Standing course—just started in the opposite direction.

This loop-based trail race showcases the very best of Settlers Cabin Park, covering nearly every trail in the park and delivering a true test of grit, endurance, and heart. 🏁 Race Distances 🔴 50K - 9 hour cutoff (8:30am to 5:30pm) 🟠 25K (Hikers Welcome) 🔵 8 Miler (Hikers Welcome) 🟢 5K (Hikers Welcome • Trained Dogs Welcome) 🗺️ Course Overview Same route as Last Trail Standing — just started in the opposite direction All race distances start and finish at Algonquin Shelter Gilbert Love Shelter is 7.75 trail miles from Algonquin and serves as the aid station and turnaround point for the 25K and 50K runners. From Gilbert Love, 25K and 50K runners turn around and run the same course in reverse back to Algonquin. ~99% trail through woods, rocks, roots, and rolling terrain A familiar course that feels completely different when started in reverse Very well-marked trails and fully stocked aid stations While Algonquin and Gilbert Love are only ~200 yards apart in physical location, the trails connecting them are rugged, technical, and demanding—designed to test the hero you have within.
