Overview
- Kim Gottwald finished at 6:52 a.m. Monday in Bornheim after 67 hours and 448.9 kilometers to claim Last Man Standing.
- The 6.7‑kilometer‑per‑hour format ended in the 67th round when Ello Elosrouti stopped, after which Gottwald completed the final loop to win.
- The German Backyard Ultra record of 82 rounds, exceeding 550 kilometers, remains unbroken because the race cannot continue with only one active runner.
- About 100 athletes started the event, and co-organizer André Schürrle ran roughly 11.5 to 12 rounds—around 80 kilometers—before withdrawing.
- A YouTube livestream surpassed 40,000 concurrent viewers on Sunday night, and the event both amplified Gottwald’s social reach and coincided with Schürrle’s electrolyte-drink launch.
