Event
Loop Out the Year is an endurance run at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, WA on December 27, 2025. The event offers timed running options of 3 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours. Registration closes on December 24.
Course and logistics
The course is a 5K loop that uses the park trail system and is almost entirely on dirt and gravel. All distances start and finish at Shelter 1. Runners complete as many loops as they can during their chosen time event. After each loop, participants must check in with a volunteer at the official start/finish/aid station so laps are recorded. The loop passes by a nearby parking lot and runners may use their vehicles as personal aid stations, but they still must check in at the official aid station after each loop.
Aid station and awards
The official aid station will provide water, several electrolyte options, light common food, and warm beverages during the run. Soup is provided at the finish. Limited gluten-free and vegan options will be available; participants with special food needs should bring their own supplies. All finishers receive handmade finisher awards.
