OUTLAST Las Vegas
OUTLAST is a six hour trail endurance challenge held in Blue Diamond, NV. Runners complete a 5K lap every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to remain in the event; if a runner misses a lap they are removed from further rounds. If a runner finishes early they may rest until the next scheduled lap.
The course is trail based with natural terrain, including dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation; some sections may include pavement or gravel. Participants have short recovery windows between laps to refuel and prepare for the next 5K. Each 5K is timed individually, and a runner who completes all six laps has their combined time used for local awards and world leaderboard ranking.
Awards and recognition include patches for completing four and five laps, a premium OUTLAST medal for six laps, and a premium OUTLAST tee for all participants. The top male and top female with the fastest combined 5K times at the event receive the 1st Place OUTLAST award. Finishers are ranked on a world leaderboard and the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6 hour events earns the World Champion title and a $1,000 prize.
Top five male and female six hour champions from each city earn a spot in the Outlast World Championship in DFW on December 4 2027. Championship prizes are 1st place $1,200, 2nd place $800, and 3rd place $500.
Aid is provided at basecamp and the loop start with water, basic hydration, and snacks. This event is cupless so participants must bring their own bottle or hydration system. Tents and personal aid setups are allowed but no stakes are permitted. Recommended gear includes trail shoes, a hydration system, layers, and fuel between laps. Walking is permitted as long as each 5K is completed within the hour. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
