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.
WHAT YOU EARN:
4 laps = Grit Earned patch
5 laps = Survivor patch
6 laps = Premium OUTLAST medal
All participants receive a premium OUTLAST Tee.
Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award.

You're out. The next lap starts at the top of the next hour, and only those who completed the last lap on time can continue.

Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward the local win and national leaderboard.

Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation. Sometimes some pavement and gravel.
Can I walk?

Can I setup a tent?
Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup.
Is OUTLAST for beginners?
Yes if you're mentally tough. You dont need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little.
