What Is OUTLAST?<\/strong><\/p>\n

OUTLAST is a 6-hour, 12-hour, or 24-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\u2019re out.<\/p>\n

Complete all six or twelve, or twenty-four rounds, and you OUTLAST.<\/p>\n

This isn't just about speed \u2014 it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Whether you're trying to survive all six or win your division, the challenge is the same: show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it.<\/p>\n

Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions. You\u2019ll have time between rounds to recover, refuel, and refocus \u2014 but not much.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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, finish 12 and get the OUTLAST ULTRA medal, finish 24 and get the OUTLAST ULTRA Buckle.<\/p>\n

What happens if I don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

How is the race timed?
Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward the local win and world leaderboard.<\/p>\n

Are these trail races or road?
Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain \u2014 dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation. Sometimes some pavement and gravel.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Are there aid stations?
Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp\/loop start. This is a cupless event \u2014 bring your own bottle or hydration system.<\/p>\n

What should I bring?
Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit.<\/p>\n

Can I setup a tent?
Absolutely, bring your own aid station\/tent setup.<\/p>\n

Is OUTLAST for beginners?
Yes \u2014 if you're mentally tough. You don\u2019t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little.<\/p>\n

How do I win?
If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male\/female). Winners are also added to the world leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/runsignup.com\/Race\/TX\/Granbury\/OUTLASTDALLASFORTWORTH","external_race_url":"https:\/\/www.texasoutlawrunning.com\/outlast","external_results_url":null,"fb_page_id":null,"fb_event_id":1757726958726626,"address":{"street":"7631 Hayworth Hwy","street2":null,"city":"Granbury","state":"TX","zipcode":"76048","country_code":"US"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","logo_url":"https:\/\/d368g9lw5ileu7.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/generic\/genericImage-websiteLogo-273885-1770238766.5766-0.bPG7mU.png","latitude":32.357845,"longitude":-97.725019,"can_use_registration_api":"F","real_time_notifications_enabled":"F","events":[{"event_id":1170489,"race_event_days_id":409408,"name":"6 Hour Challenge -
