OUTLAST PORTLAND

What Is OUTLAST?

• Challenge: OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour.
• Timing: 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 you’re out.
• Final Goal: Complete all six rounds, and you OUTLAST.
• Focus: This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Do I have to run all 6 laps? Nope. Run as many as you can. If you complete 4 or 5, you'll still earn a patch.
• What happens if I don’t finish a lap in time? You're out. The next lap starts at the top of the next hour.
• How is the race timed? Each 5K is timed individually. Your combined time counts toward the local win and national leaderboard.
• Are these trail races or road? Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation.

Additional Information:

• Walking: Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour.
• Aid Stations: Yes, there will be water, hydration, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start.
• What should I bring? Trail shoes, hydration system, layers, fuel between laps, and grit.
• Is OUTLAST for beginners? Yes — if you're mentally tough. You don’t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little.

How Do I Win?

If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male/female). Winners are added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.
