Outlast Memphis
Bartlett, United States • 1 Nov 2025
Event overview
OUTLAST MEMPHIS is an endurance trail event held at Tour De Wolf Pavilion in Shelby Farms Park, Memphis, TN 38134. The event offers two formats:
- 6 Hour Challenge
- 12 Hour Challenge
Each format is based on repeating a 5K loop every hour. Runners must complete each 5K within the hour to continue. Participants who complete four or five laps earn leather patches; completing all six or all twelve laps earns a wooden OUTLAST medal for the respective duration. All participants receive an OUTLAST T-shirt and sticker.
Course, format and awards
The course is single-track trail with roots, hills, and dirt. Aid is available at a basecamp near the loop start with water, basic hydration, and snacks; this is a cupless event, so participants should plan to use their own bottle or hydration system. Races are timed by individual 5K laps; a combined time for six completed laps is used for local results and the national 6-hour leaderboard.
The 12-hour distance is offered at this location and does not count toward the national 6-hour leaderboard. Top male and female 6-hour finishers at each city earn spots in the Outlast Championship. The fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events is listed on the national leaderboard and receives a $1,000 national prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
