OUTLAST Albuquerque
OUTLAST is a six-hour trail endurance challenge in Albuquerque where participants run a 5K lap every hour. Each lap must be completed within the hour to remain in the event; if a runner misses a lap they are removed from that day's challenge. Completing all six laps results in the OUTLAST finish.
The course uses trail terrain with natural features such as dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation changes; some sections may include pavement or gravel. Runners have time between laps to recover, refuel, and prepare for the next lap. Walking is permitted provided the lap is finished within the hour.
Reward tiers are based on laps completed: 4 laps earn a “Grit Earned” patch, 5 laps earn a “Survivor” patch, and 6 laps earn a premium OUTLAST medal. All participants receive a premium OUTLAST tee. Each event ranks finishers by combined time for all completed laps; local male and female winners receive a 1st Place OUTLAST award. Finishers appear on a national leaderboard. The fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events is named National Champion and receives $1,000.
Aid at the basecamp or loop start includes water, basic hydration, and snacks. This is a cupless event; runners should bring their own bottle or hydration system. Participants may set up a personal tent or aid station at the venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
