OUTLAST Indianapolis - Columbus IN
OUTLAST Indianapolis is a trail endurance event on 10/17/2026 at 3989 S 525 E, Columbus, IN 47203, US. The event offers two timed challenges that follow the same lap format.
Runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to continue; finishing early allows rest until the next round, and missing a lap results in elimination. Completing all rounds awards full event recognition.
Distances
- 18 miles - 6 Hour Challenge
- 36 miles - Outlast ULTRA 12 Hour Challenge
Courses are trail based and include natural terrain, elevation, and occasional pavement or gravel. Basic aid is available at the basecamp or loop start with water, hydration, and snacks, and the event is cupless. Participants receive a premium OUTLAST tee. Progress awards are given as patches or medals: four laps earns a “Grit Earned” patch, five laps a “Survivor” patch, six laps a premium 6-inch OUTLAST medal, and twelve laps a premium 12-inch OUTLAST medal.
Top male and female finishers by combined 5K times win the 1st Place OUTLAST award and local leaderboard placement. Finishers are ranked on a national leaderboard; the fastest across all OUTLAST 6 hour events earns the National Champion title and a $1,000 prize. The top five male and female 6 hour champions from each city qualify for the Outlast Championship in DFW on December 4, 2027, where cash prizes are awarded for the top three places.
