OUTLAST PHILADELPHIA

What Is OUTLAST?

• Challenge: 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.
• Strategy: This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit.
• Course: Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions.
• Recovery: You’ll 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
• Overall winners: Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award.

National Championship:

• Leaderboard: Finishers are ranked on the national leaderboard.
• National Champion: Fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events will take home a cash prize of $1,000.
• Championship Qualifiers: The top 5 Male and Female 6-hour champions from each city will earn a spot in the Outlast Championship in DFW December 4 2027.
• Championship Prizes: 1st place = $1,200, 2nd place = $800, 3rd place = $500.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Run all 6 laps? Nope. Run as many as you can. If you complete 4 or 5, you'll still earn a patch.
• Miss a lap: 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.
• Race timing: Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward the local win and national leaderboard.
• Trail races: 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. But some courses are rugged.
• Aid Stations: Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp.
• What to bring: Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit.
• Tent setup: Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup.

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 to Win:

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