OUTLAST MEMPHIS

🏃‍♂️ What Is OUTLAST?

• Challenge: OUTLAST is a 6 hour and 12 hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour.
• Requirements: 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.
• Goal: Complete all six or twelve rounds, and you OUTLAST.
• Experience: This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit.

⛰️ Course Details

• Terrain: 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.

• Competition: Compete against the best of the best at the end of the Tour.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I have to run all the 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 the local win and national leaderboard.
• Are these trail races or road? Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation.

🎒 Preparation

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