Trail Endurance Challenge in Palatine
OUTLAST Chicago is a trail endurance event held at 1599 Pepper Tree Dr in Palatine, Illinois. The competition follows a specific elimination format structured over a 6-hour period. Participants are required to navigate a trail course in a series of timed rounds.
The event consists of the following distance requirements:
- 5 km every hour for six consecutive hours.
The participants start a new 5 km lap on the hour, every hour. To remain in the competition, each lap must be completed within the sixty-minute window. Runners who finish a lap in less than an hour utilize the remaining time to rest before the start of the next scheduled round.
Those who fail to complete a lap within the allotted hour are withdrawn from the event. Individuals who successfully finish all six rounds of the challenge are considered to have outlasted the course. The total distance covered by those completing the entire event is approximately 30 km, though the event lists a general range of 10 to 26.2 miles for its total distance categories.
