OUTLAST New Orleans
OUTLAST is a six hour trail endurance challenge held in Mandeville, LA on 02/13/2027. Runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour; each lap must be finished within the hour to continue. Missing a lap eliminates a participant. Completing all six laps earns the event's top finisher recognition.
The course is trail based with natural terrain, elevation, and variable conditions; some sections may include pavement or gravel. Each 5K is timed individually, and a runner who completes all six will have a combined time used for local awards and world leaderboard ranking. Time between laps allows recovery, refueling, and refocus.
Aid at the basecamp or loop start will include water, basic hydration, and snacks. The event is cupless, so runners should bring their own bottle or hydration system. Participants may walk as long as each 5K is finished within the hour. Tent or personal aid station setups are permitted.
Recognition and prizes are tiered: 4 laps earns a “Grit Earned” patch, 5 laps a “Survivor” patch, and 6 laps a premium OUTLAST 6-inch medal; all participants receive a premium OUTLAST tee. Top male and female at each event are awarded by combined 5K time. Finishers are ranked on a world leaderboard; the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events earns a $1,000 World Champion prize. The top five male and female 6-hour champions from each city qualify for the Outlast World Championship in DFW on 12/04/2027, where championship prize money is awarded to the top three.
