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 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, 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.

Race Preparation:

• Can I walk? Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour. But some courses are rugged, and time can sneak up on you.
• Aid Stations: Yes, there will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start.
• What should I bring? Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit.
• Can I set up a tent? Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup.

Is OUTLAST for Beginners?

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