OUTLAST OKC - Night Out Edition
OUTLAST is a six-hour trail endurance challenge in Oklahoma City in which runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to continue; if a runner misses a lap they are removed from the event. Runners who finish all six rounds are recorded as finishing the event.
Courses are trail based and include natural terrain, elevation, and variable conditions; some sections may include pavement or gravel. Each 5K is timed individually and a runner’s combined time for all completed laps is used for local results and the national leaderboard. Walking is allowed provided the lap is completed within the hour.
Support at the basecamp or loop start includes water, basic hydration, and snacks. This is a cupless event so participants must bring their own bottle or hydration system. Headlamps are required for night participants. Recommended gear includes trail shoes, layers for changing weather, and fuel for between laps. Participants may set up a personal tent or aid station.
Recognition is awarded by laps completed: four laps earn a “Grit Earned” patch, five laps earn a “Survivor” patch, and six laps earn a premium OUTLAST medal. All participants receive a premium OUTLAST tee. Top male and female finishers by combined time win local awards and are added to the national leaderboard; the fastest across all OUTLAST 6-hour events receives a $1,000 national prize. Top city champions earn entry to the Outlast Championship in DFW on December 4 2027 where additional cash prizes are awarded. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
