OUTLAST DENVER

What Is OUTLAST?

• Endurance Challenge: OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour.
• Staying In: 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.
• Completing Rounds: Complete all six rounds, and you OUTLAST.
• Focus: This isn't just about speed — it’s about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it.

What You Earn:

• 4 Laps: “Grit Earned” patch
• 5 Laps: “Survivor” patch

Championship Opportunity:

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. Only those who finish all 6 get the OUTLAST medal and leaderboard ranking.
• 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, and only those who completed the last lap on time can continue.
• How is the race timed? Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, 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. Sometimes some pavement and gravel.

Additional Information:

• Can I walk? Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour. Some courses are rugged, and time can sneak up on you.
• Are there aid stations? Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start. This is a cupless event — bring your own bottle or hydration system.
• What should I bring? Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit.
• Can I setup a tent? Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup.

Beginner Friendly:

• 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).
• National Leaderboard: Winners are also added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.
