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.

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?

Is OUTLAST for beginners?
Yes if you're mentally tough. You dont need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little.
