Race 1 of Alamo Beer Series Challenge 2026
This is race 1 in a series of races that are to be treated as milestone training runs. We follow a 18 week training schedule designed for runners and running groups that are training for the San Antonio Rock and Roll Marathon and Half Marathon. These milestone races are designed to keep you on track. They are also used to allow you to meet everyone in the area that is training just like you.
Each event gets longer in distance to fit into the half or full marathon training schedule. Each event will also have a 5k to allow any runner or walker to get in on the fun.
This series of races was developed by trainers that wanted to teach their runners how to race. These races are designed to help runners know what to do on race day. How to get your packet, where to put your race number, and chip. What to do the day before, week before and race day. The pressure and anxiety of a race for runners can be daunting. By preplanning and rehearsing you as a runner will arrive at your goal race with experience to help minimize mistakes and problems.
Sign up for this series if you are planning on running a half marathon or full marathon in the winter of 2026/2027.
We’ve added a twist to this years race, adding an energy filled Relay Race. This is a Half Marathon 3-person relay to add more excitement and camaraderie to the beginning of running season. Get on your text group, and build your Team!
If you are a trainer send us an email we want to get your entire group on board. [email protected]

All age group awards will be based on chip time due to needing to start in waves.
We award for 1st through 4th so don’t leave without your award.
Some things to consider;
If you are a walker, make sure you check in at the timing table and tell them you are walking the entire race, and you are not running even on step, this puts you in a different category.
If you finish make sure your time matching what your watch says and that your name is spelled correctly and your gender is correct and you are in the right age category.
If you do not finish do not leave until you tell the timing people, because we do not leave until all runners are finished, we will have to go look for you.
Don’t run with someone else’s number.
Wear your number on the front of your shorts and do not bend the number as it has your chip embedded into the bib.
We want you to have fun and here are a few things that might help.
Show up with plenty of time to get your bib, go to the bathroom and get in line before the start of your race.
Invite family and or friends and ask them if they would like to volunteer while you run.
Being a volunteer for a couple of hours is an enjoyable thing, we promise they will love it.
Bring a change of clothes and leave them in your car so you can get out of sweaty clothes and come back to the awards ceremony.
Each race has it's own fun design on the ever loved super soft tri-blend race shirt (unisex)
We continue to have non-profits involved and you will be able to donate to their cause when signing up.
Virtual runners
We offer the opportunity to run on your own but still sign up for the race. Life happens and sometimes even at the last minute you can’t make it to the race. You can switch to virtual we prefer if you do that on the Thursday before the race. The reason is that we assign bib numbers on Thursday before the race at noon. After noon it becomes hard for us to make changes and several people have to get involved. You may be charged more to switch to virtual after Thursday before each race.
If you are a virtual runners we do not put a limit on when you have to run. If you are injured it might be a few weeks before you can run that distance do not stress out. Do it when you can. We do have a virtual tab on our website click there and follow the instructions. If you want your packet mailed there will be a charge to mail your packet and this charge will be determined as we get closer to the event. Presently it is $12 per packet.
No Refunds! Thanks for signing up for our race, sometimes things change and you have to transfer your race entry or change the race, we understand. Please understand that this takes time to make these changes and we charge $20 to make that change or transfer two days before the race. $30 to transfer the day before the race. It doesn't mean we don't love you.
No transfers after race day.
No Dogs allowed.
All of these things are here to help. We still love you, we just want you to have fun.

What Is OUTLAST?
OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to stay in the event. If you finish early, you rest until the next round. Miss a lap, and you’re out.
Complete all six rounds, and you OUTLAST.
This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Whether you're trying to survive all six or win your division, the challenge is the same: show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it.
Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions. You’ll have time between rounds to recover, refuel, and refocus — but not much.
What You Earn:
4 laps = “Grit Earned” patch
5 laps = “Survivor” patch
6 laps = Premium “OUTLAST” medal
All participants receive a premium OUTLAST Tee.
Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award.
Finishers are ranked on the national leaderboard—and the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events will be crowned National Champion and take home $1,000.
The 1st Place Male and Female 6-hour champions from this race will take home $1000 each. (This is separate from the national leaderboard prize money.)
By the end of the 2026-2027 tour, the top 100 best times nationally will be invited to also compete in the Outlast Championship in 2027.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to run all 6 laps?
Nope. Run as many as you can. If you complete 4 or 5, you'll still earn a patch. Only those who finish all 6 get the OUTLAST medal and leaderboard ranking.
What happens if I don’t finish a lap in time?
You're out. The next lap starts at the top of the next hour, and only those who completed the last lap on time can continue.
How is the race timed?
Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward the local win and national leaderboard.
Are these trail races or road?
Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation. Sometimes some pavement and gravel.
Can I walk?
Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour. But some courses are rugged, and time can sneak up on you.
Are there aid stations?
Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start. This is a cupless event — bring your own bottle or hydration system.
What should I bring?
Headlamps are required for all night race participants, trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit.
Can I setup a tent?
Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup.
Is OUTLAST for beginners?
Yes — if you're mentally tough. You don’t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little.
How do I win?
If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male/female). Winners are also added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.
