OUTLAST New Orleans
OUTLAST New Orleans is a six hour trail endurance challenge held on February 13, 2027 in Mandeville, Louisiana (62883 LA-1089, 70448). The format requires runners to complete a 5K lap each hour; each lap must be finished within the hour to remain in the event. Participants who finish early may rest until the next round; missing a lap eliminates a competitor.
The course is trail based and includes natural terrain, elevation, and sections that may include pavement or gravel. There will be aid at the basecamp or loop start offering water, basic hydration, and snacks. This is a cupless event, so participants should bring their own bottle or hydration system. Runners may walk as long as they complete each 5K within the hour. Participants may set up a personal tent or aid station on site.
Awards and recognition are given by laps completed and by combined time. Completing four laps earns a “Grit Earned” patch, five laps a “Survivor” patch, and six laps a premium OUTLAST medal. All participants receive a premium OUTLAST tee. Top male and female finishers by combined time win local 1st Place OUTLAST awards. Finishers are ranked on a national leaderboard; the fastest across all OUTLAST 6 hour events is named National Champion and receives $1,000. City 6 hour champions earn spots in the Outlast Championship. The top 100 national times may be invited to that championship.
Registration opens April 14, 2026, closes November 15, 2026, with a registration fee of $90.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
