Outlast Waco

Outlast Waco is run at Waco, Texas, on February 27, 2027, with a 7:00 a.m. start. It is a six-hour trail challenge, scored on distance covered within the time limit rather than on a set course length, with about 18 miles (29 km) listed as the reference distance. No elevation figure is published.

An early start on a six-hour clock means you will be running through much of the morning, so plan your fueling by the hour rather than by the mile. The format is forgiving for a first attempt at long trail running: you can stop whenever you choose and still have a result, which removes the pressure of a fixed cutoff. Build toward it with progressively longer weekend runs on unpaved ground and practise the walk-run alternation you intend to use on the day.
