Organiser's Description
WHAT IS OUTLAST?
OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to stay in the event. If you finish early, you rest until the next round. Miss a lap, and youre out.
Complete all six rounds, and you OUTLAST.
This isn't just about speed it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Whether you're trying to survive all six or win your division, the challenge is the same: show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it.
Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions. Youll have time between rounds to recover, refuel, and refocus but not much.

4 laps = Bronze Grit Earned leather patch
5 laps = Silver Survivor leather patch
