Challenge: OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour.
Completion: 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 rounds, and you OUTLAST.
Focus: This isn't just about speed — it’s about pacing, discipline, and mental grit.
🏅 What You Earn:
Bronze Patch: 4 laps = Bronze “Grit Earned” leather patch
Silver Patch: 5 laps = Silver “Survivor” leather patch
OUTLAST Medal: 6 laps = Premium “OUTLAST” wooden medal
Participation: All participants receive an OUTLAST Tee & Sticker.
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. 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.
🎒 What Should I Bring?
Gear: Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit.
Tent Setup: Absolutely bring your own aid station/tent setup.
Walking: 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.
🏆 How do I win?

Leaderboard: Winners are also added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.
Challenge Level: Yes — if you're mentally tough. You don’t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little.
