The Ultimate Suck

The Ultimate SUCK is an intense endurance event held at Decker Farm in Cuba, Illinois, featuring challenging 36-hour, 12-hour, and 4-hour races. Combining elements of trail running, military-style boot camp, strongman training, and Midwestern farm chores, participants face grueling tasks such as carrying heavy loads, chopping wood, and potentially experiencing pepper spray. The course is set in a rural farm environment where racers camp in hay fields and are not allowed to sleep during the event.

Strict rules limit crew support until the final 12 hours, emphasizing self-reliance. The event fosters a tough, gritty atmosphere designed to test physical and mental endurance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
