🏃‍♂️ What Is OUTLAST?

• Skills: 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. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward wins and leaderboards.
• Are these trail races or road? Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation.

🎒 Preparation and Support:

• Can I walk? Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour.
• Aid Stations: 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.
• 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 do I win? If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male/female).
• National Prize: Winners are added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.
