Outlast Little Rock

Trail Endurance Challenge

OUTLAST Little Rock is a 6-hour trail endurance event held at the Burns Park Equestrian Trail. The competition follows a specific format where participants must complete a 5K loop every hour, on the hour. To remain in the event, runners must finish each lap within the sixty-minute time limit. Those who finish a lap early may use the remaining time in that hour to rest at the basecamp before the start of the next round. Participation ends if a runner fails to complete a lap within the allotted time.

The course features natural trail terrain including dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation changes. While the primary surfaces are trail-based, some sections may include pavement or gravel. This is a cupless event, requiring participants to bring their own hydration systems or bottles. Basic hydration and snacks are provided at the start and finish area of the loop. Participants are permitted to set up personal tents or aid stations at the basecamp.

Performance recognition is based on the number of laps completed:

• 4 laps finished earns a Grit Earned patch
• 5 laps finished earns a Survivor patch
• 6 laps finished earns an OUTLAST medal

The male and female participants with the fastest combined times for all six laps are recognized as winners. These finishers are also ranked on a national leaderboard, which tracks performance across all events in the series for potential qualification into a championship event. All registered participants receive an event shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
