A backyard ends when one runner completes a loop nobody else starts. On Tuesday morning in Fürstenau that runner was Mark Dowdle. Ninety-four yards. About 630 kilometers. Four days after the Friday gun.
Ayyoub El Osrouti — Ello — was the last man with him, out at 93. He was runner-up at the first Last Soul too, at 66, on a bad Achilles. Norman Mascher-Aspensjö was third at 80. Caroline Maria Bolte was the last woman standing, 52 yards, a German women's backyard record in her first last-one-standing race.
The official live tracker then emptied. Remaining stuck at one, runner list gone. That is how these feeds die when the show is over. Kick Rocks treats that as a finish: we keep the last full field, apply the published final yards, and rank every competitor.
The 2025 race ended at 67. This one rewrote the German soil mark and then kept going. The board is final. The list is the field.
