Outlast Indianapolis

OUTLAST Indianapolis operates on a straightforward principle: complete a 5K each hour, on the hour, for six hours. The event takes place at CERA Sports Park & Campground in Columbus, Indiana. The complete challenge totals 30 km if all six rounds are finished. Each lap must be completed before the hour ends; finishing early allows time to rest, eat, change equipment, or prepare for the next start. The course follows trails, presenting runners with natural terrain, inclines, and the day's park conditions. While speed is advantageous, the format also penalizes poor pacing, inefficient recovery, and inadequate fueling. Some participants aim to win a division, while others focus solely on completing all six laps. Texas Outlaw Running is the organizer, and the objective is starkly defined: fail to complete any single lap, and the race concludes.
