Outlast Atlanta

Outlast Atlanta is a six-hour trail endurance challenge in Conyers, Georgia, starting at 8:00 a.m. on January 9, 2027. The format is strict: you cover 5 kilometers every hour on rugged natural terrain, and each lap must be finished inside its hour or you are out. Badges and a medal are awarded according to how many laps you complete, aid stations carry water and snacks, and leading runners are ranked nationally and can qualify for the Outlast championship, which carries cash prizes.

The discipline is in the rest. Running each 5K faster than you need only shortens the break before the next one, so settle into a pace that leaves ten to fifteen minutes to sit, drink and eat every hour. Six laps means a little over 18 miles for anyone who lasts the full window, which puts a solid trail base among the requirements.
