Last Man Standing: The Burpee Open

Last Man Standing — The Burpee Open · NYC Outdoor Fitness · September 26, 2026

10 burpees. Every minute. Until one person remains.

THE RULE

Chest to ground → Jump → Hands touch overhead. 10 reps per minute. Miss a round, you're out. Last one standing wins.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Start with 30–40 athletes. Every minute on the minute, complete 10 full burpees — chest to ground, hop at the top, hands touch overhead. Fall behind or break form and you're done. The crowd grows louder as competitors drop. This is endurance, grit, and community in the open air.
