OUTLAST MEMPHIS

🏃‍♂️ What Is OUTLAST?

• Event Format: 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. If you finish early, you rest until the next round. Miss a lap, and you’re out.
• Challenge: Complete all six rounds, and you OUTLAST. This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit.
• Course Details: 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: Bronze “Grit Earned” leather patch
• 5 laps: Silver “Survivor” leather patch
• 6 laps: Premium “OUTLAST” wooden medal
• All participants: Receive an OUTLAST Tee & Sticker.

🏆 Awards:

• Fastest Runners: Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award.
• Leaderboard: Finishers are ranked on the national leaderboard.
• National Champion: The fastest runner across all OUTLAST events will be crowned National Champion and take home $1,000.

❓ 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 with pavement and gravel.

🛠️ Preparation and Supplies:

• 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.
• 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.

🌱 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 (male/female).
• National Prize: Winners are also added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.
