Event overview
OUTLAST Austin is a 6-hour trail endurance event on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Dripping Springs Ranch Park and Event Center (1042 Event Center Dr, Dripping Springs, TX 78620). The event offers two editions: the daytime "6 Hour Challenge" and the "6 Hour Challenge NIGHT EDITION." Each edition involves repeating a 5K loop once every hour for up to six rounds.
Runners may stop whenever they choose; participants who complete all six laps are ranked on the national leaderboard. Each 5K is timed individually and combined times are used to determine local winners and national rankings.
Course, awards and logistics
Courses are trail-based with natural terrain, including dirt, rocks, roots, elevation changes, and occasional pavement or gravel. Aid at the basecamp/loop start will provide water, basic hydration, and snacks; the event is cupless, so participants should bring their own bottle or hydration system. Packet pickup is provided.
Awards and items: finishing 4 laps earns a bronze leather patch, 5 laps a silver patch, and 6 laps a wooden "OUTLAST" medal. All participants receive an OUTLAST T-shirt and sticker. Top male and female local finishers by combined time win the 1st Place OUTLAST award. The fastest runner across all OUTLAST events becomes National Champion and receives a $1,000 prize. City champions earn a spot in the Outlast Championship. Registration price tiers and special tent anchoring requirements are listed by the organizer.
