Outlast Orlando

Outlast Orlando takes place in Clermont, Florida, on January 16, 2027. The single format is a 6 Hour Challenge on trail, starting at 8:00 AM, so what you are racing is the clock rather than a set distance: you cover as much ground as you can in six hours.

Timed ultras are among the friendliest ways into long-distance running, because there is no cutoff to chase and no risk of a DNF — you simply stop when the clock does. That said, six hours on your feet asks for preparation. Build toward a long run of three to four hours in the months before, rehearse eating and drinking on the move, and settle on a rhythm of running and walking early rather than improvising once you are tired. On trail, keep your effort steady on the climbs and let your pace drift rather than fighting to hold a number.
