OUTLAST NEW ORLEANS

What Is OUTLAST?

• Type of Event: OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour.
• Challenge: 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.
• Objective: 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
• Gold Medal: 6 laps = Premium “OUTLAST” wooden medal
• Participation: All participants receive an OUTLAST Tee & Sticker.

Awards:

• Fastest Times: Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award.
• National Leaderboard: Finishers are ranked nationally, with the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events crowned National Champion.
• Outlast Championship: 1st Place Male and Female 6-hour champions from each city earn a spot to compete against the best.
• Top 100 Invitation: By the end of the tour, the top 100 best times nationally will be invited to the Outlast Championship.

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, and 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: 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?

• Entry Level: Yes — you don’t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little.
• Winning Strategy: If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male/female).
• Prizes: Winners are added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.
