Toughest Alive Hourglass Seattle
The Hourglass format is a timed loop event at Waughop Lake Loop in Lakewood WA held on November 7, 2026 and organized by Toughest Alive. Athletes repeat a published loop each round and must finish the loop before a horn; each completed loop earns entry to the next round and the allotted time for each round decreases by one minute. Round one is 30 minutes, round two is 29 minutes, round three is 28 minutes, and so on. Miss the cutoff and the athlete's event is complete.
Divisions include youth and adult categories across Run, Hybrid, Ruck, Carry, and Walk. Youth athletes require a parent or legal guardian to sign the event waiver and remain onsite and reachable while the youth competes. Ruck weights are specified by division, measured as dry weight, and may be checked before, during, or after the event.
Event details note aid station support, a repeatable course, music, and a central start and finish area where athletes regroup between rounds. Entry fees are listed in a range from 32.50 to 86.43 USD and registration closes on November 4 at 11 59 PM PT.
