Emotion you can’t buy.
Presence you can.

A 24/7 livestream over days, millions on social, a camp only partners get into. Nothing staged. Everything felt.

Why brands are here

Nothing in sport
holds people like this

A football match is 90 minutes. A marathon is a morning. Last Soul Ultra takes days and nights, and nobody knows when it ends — one 6.7 km loop every hour until one runner is left. Every hour a start, a fight and a cut.

So people don’t check in. They stay, because they won’t miss the moment it happens. A format like no other. And your brand is there the entire time: in the experience, the emotion, the moments that change an athlete’s life.

They stay
25:50 minutes average view time on a livestream. 6.6 views per viewer. People came back again and again for 100 hours.
They feel
979,308 reactions. 263,000 chat messages across YouTube and Twitch. 98.9% positive. No script, no safe ending, real people breaking and holding on.
They remember
Emotion builds memory. A brand that is there at 3 a.m. on night three isn’t a sponsor. It’s part of the feeling.

Every hour
a final.

They don’t watch. They stay.

As the field shrinks,
the audience grows

The field shrinks every day. And with every runner who drops, more people tune in to see who’s left. On YouTube and on Twitch, day five had the biggest audience of the whole race.

Year one built the base.
Year two redefined the sport

The first edition already made national headlines. The second one — 94 yards over four days and nights — tripled the watch time, nearly tripled the peak audience, added Twitch as a second home and put the race on RTL Aktuell and Tagesschau. No other backyard race in the world has been watched like this.

Reach

One race.
A whole network

The stream is only the centre. Around it: the Last Soul Ultra account, Kim Gottwald’s channels, rappid., and the athletes telling the same race from their own tent.

Several million followers across the network, all in endurance, performance and mental strength. Exactly the audience you’re looking for. No wasted impressions.

The field

The best of the best.
And people like you

Pros, fitness creators and athletes, and runners from the community on one start line, for days. No brand can book this combination anywhere else.

Pros
Harvey Lewis, two-time Big’s Backyard world champion. Hendrik Boury, German record holder. Mark Dowdle, the 2026 Last Soul with 630 km. They make it serious. They make it long.

Fitness creators & athletes
Alex Kukla, Lukas Stapper, Maren Schiller and dozens more. Every story, reel and reaction carries the race into communities far beyond running. They make it loud.

Community
Athletes selected through entry requests, and wildcard souls. Real people from the community line up and surprise everyone with what they’re capable of. Everyone watching feels it: that could be me. They make it personal.
Real stories, real use

Products aren’t placed.
They’re used

Nobody performs for the camera at hour 70. What the stream shows is what actually happens: the poncho in the storm, the drink at 3 a.m., the recovery in the tent, the shoes on loop 94. That’s the difference between an ad and a memory.

People don’t think “this brand sponsored it”.
They think “this brand was there when it mattered”.

2027

This was
the beginning.

Going international

Three continents.
Four countries

2026 already went further than Germany. A winner from the USA. Two American legends on the loop. Souls from nine countries. An English stream alongside the German one. Clips on 3.5 million US screens.

In 2027 the race itself follows.
