Outlast Nashville - Long Hunter
Outlast Nashville takes place at Long Hunter State Park in Hermitage, Tennessee on November 14, 2026. The event offers two timed formats:
- 6 Hour Challenge - 18 miles
- Outlast ULTRA 12 Hour Challenge - 36 miles
The format is an hourly loop challenge: participants run a 5K every hour and must complete each lap within the hour to continue. Runners who finish early may rest until the next hour; missing a lap ends that participant's attempt. Completing all six or all twelve rounds is recorded as a full finish for the chosen format.
Courses are on trail terrain with natural surfaces, elevation, and variable conditions; some sections may include pavement or gravel. Each 5K is timed individually and combined times are used for local results and leaderboard placement. Walking is permitted if the lap is completed within the hour.
Support at the loop start/basecamp includes water, basic hydration, and snacks. This is a cupless event, so participants should bring their own bottle or hydration system. Participants may set up a personal tent or aid station at the venue.
Awards and recognition include patches for partial finishes (4 laps and 5 laps), premium medals for full 6-hour and 12-hour finishers, a premium event tee for all participants, local division awards for fastest combined times, world leaderboard ranking, and cash prizes tied to championship events.
