Loop Out the Year - December 26, 2026
Loop Out the Year is a timed endurance run at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, WA, organized by Trail Therapy Running. Participants choose a timed event and run as many loops as possible within that period on a marked trail course.
Available timed events include:
- 8 Hours
- 6 Hours
- 3 Hours
The primary course is a 4.52 mile loop with about 495 feet of elevation gain. During the final 1.5 hours of each event, participants who cannot complete a full loop may run an optional 1.4 mile loop with about 125 feet of gain. All laps must be recorded at the start/finish aid station before heading back out.
The start and finish are located at the barn near the dog park parking lot in the park. The course returns near the parking lot after each loop. Runners may use their vehicles as personal aid stations, but they must still check in at the official aid station for each lap so distance is counted.
The aid station supplies water and Skratch electrolytes, light food items such as candy, chips, cookies, quesadillas, peanut butter and jam, and fruit, plus warm beverages during the run and soup at the finish. Handmade finisher awards are provided to all finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
