About the race
OUTLAST Charlotte is a timed trail endurance event held on June 12, 2027, at 7600 Miami Church Rd, Concord, North Carolina. The format is a six hour challenge in which runners complete a 5K lap every hour. Each lap must be finished within that hour to remain in the event; if a runner does not complete a lap before the hour ends they are removed from the competition. Runners who finish early may rest until the next scheduled lap.
The course is trail based and includes natural terrain and elevation changes, with variable conditions possible. Between laps participants have time to recover, refuel, and prepare for the next loop.
Recognition and awards are provided by lap completion and overall results. Participants who complete four laps receive a “Grit Earned” patch, five laps earn a “Survivor” patch, and completing all six laps earns a premium OUTLAST medal. All participants receive a premium OUTLAST tee. The fastest male and female at each event by combined 5K times receive the 1st Place OUTLAST award. Finishers are ranked on a world leaderboard and the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events receives a $1,000 cash prize.
Top performers from each city may earn entry to the Outlast World Championship in DFW on December 4, 2027, where championship cash prizes are awarded for the top three finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
