Lazarus Lake conceptualised the race that we now know as the Backyard Ultra (often times adapted as a ‘Last One Standing’).
He is a preeminent figure in the ultra world, largely due to The Barkley Marathons which is his wilderness navigation multi-loop race designed to be too hard to have a winner.
Thank you for all your efforts… every country needs one of you!
