Livingston Oval Marathon / Half-Marathon / Last Person Standing

October 17th 2026
Livingston, NJ
Backyard

Everyone can reach their running goals given the right opportunities. Due to the success of the Livingston Oval Ultra, a timed event each March at the Livingston Oval, athletes of all abilities can complete a half-marathon, full marathon, or even surpass what they thought their limits were at a last-person-standing event. There is NO TIME LIMIT for the half-marathon or full marathon events. We stay until the last person completes the distance.

All races are on the pavement on the outside edge of the Livingston Memorial Oval, a 0.44-mile loop. Our race staff tracks each athlete every lap. Runners are never far from food, drink, encouragement, music, and chairs in which to rest, if needed. See the map below for more.

We have hot and cold food, hot and cold drinks, music, and the most enthusiastic race staff you'll ever meet.
Field Availability - 6:30 AM
Gazebo Field opens one hour before the first event and closes 90 minutes after the last concludes. Athletes can set up their tents, chairs, coolers, etc. in a 12'X12' space. Racers are responsible for cleaning up their site.

All Races start at 8:00 AM
All runners receive instructions and safety notifications 10 minutes before the 8 a.m. start. The course will not close until the last athlete completes their requested distance.

Last Person Standing

Do you want to see how tough you are? Do you want to earn that championship belt?
See how many laps you do and be the last person standing? Who knows?!
Runners must complete two laps in 10 minutes, which is a pace of 11 minutes 20 seconds per mile. It sounds easy... at first.

Marathon and Half-Marathon

The course is a closed loop, so you cannot possibly get lost. The marathon is 59.5 laps, and a half-marathon is 30 laps. Every person who completes the distance earns a finisher's medal, no matter how much time they need. This very flat course allows for top performances. Set a personal best!
