Our Story
OUR MISSION
Our purpose is to give everyone the opportunity to challenge themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually through professional events while exploring the world on their own two feet.
We are a genuine community of runners who are passionate about new experiences and overcoming obstacles from all backgrounds.
BRISTON RAINS
FOUNDER & CEO
In 2020, while running cross country and track as an NCAA Division II distance runner at Southern Arkansas University, Briston started building a running company. What began as a passion for trail running quickly became a way to bring runners together and give them experiences they’d never forget.
In 2025, Briston took that vision further and launched Outlast, a nationwide trail challenge open to runners everywhere. Participants take on challenging trail routes across the country, pushing their limits and joining a growing community of runners who refuse to quit. Outlast meets you where you are and challenges you to go further.
Our Values
Faith & Service
We are a Christian organization with Christian values that believe in serving others, loving people, and doing things right.
Environmental Responsibility
We are an environmentally sustainable company. All of our races have a "road to zero waste" policy. Our trail race events are cupless races (meaning runners must bring refillable cups) and we do not tolerate littering on the courses. From behind the scenes, we limit waste such as plastic, exhaust, and more as much as possible.
The Runner Experience
All of our events are unique and are made for runners who love great views, tough courses and stories to be made. As runners ourselves, we make sure we prioritize the experience.
Supporting Those Who Serve
If you are an active duty member of the US Department of Defense, we support you and thank you for your service. You get a big discount for all of our races, coaching, and merchandise. Contact us at any time to get your discount code.
We Make Things Right
If we mess up, we make it right, and put things in place to not let it happen again.
