The Next Loop: Endurance Series, Lake Carl Blackwell, Stillwater, OK
The event uses a loop based endurance format on a clearly marked 3.1 mile (5K) trail loop at Lake Carl Blackwell Park in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Runners begin each loop on the hour and may choose whether to start a new lap; each completed loop counts toward the runner’s total distance.
Course and scoring details note that loop times are recorded from the start of the hour to when a runner crosses the finish line. Final results are ranked by the number of loops completed and the combined total time. The format does not use cutoffs or penalties for stopping; completed loops still count toward the official result.
An aid station is available at the central base area before each loop to provide hydration and basic nutrition. The centralized loop format also allows friends, family, and crew to offer support between laps.
Distances recorded by loops include:
- 1 loop = 5K
- 2 loops = 10K
- 4 loops = Half Marathon
- 9 loops = Marathon
- 10 loops = 50K
