The Next Loop Endurance Series - Lake Carl Blackwell
The Next Loop Endurance Series takes place on November 21, 2026 at Lake Carl Blackwell Park with race headquarters at Shredders Gulch Campground. The event centers on a clearly marked 3.1-mile trail loop used for all formats and a central start/finish base area with aid station support.
Multiple formats let participants measure distance in different ways: hourly loop entries, a timed continuous challenge, solo ultra distances, and team relays. Aid is available every loop and athletes may access personal gear from a staging area between loops. The event is described as friendly to families, crews, runners, walkers, and hikers.
Key rules and support:
- Pacers permitted after the fourth loop; pacers must check in, wear identification, and follow entry and exit procedures.
- Medical and safety oversight follows ultra-distance standards.
- Defined-distance events require completing the chosen distance within the event cutoff.
Available event formats include:
- Hourly Challenge with approximately 3.1-mile loop every hour, up to ten loops.
- 12 Hour Challenge continuous attempt measured by completed loops.
- 40 Mile Challenge solo continuous distance.
- 50 Mile Challenge solo continuous distance.
- 50 Mile Team Relay for two runners.
- 50 Mile Team Relay for four runners.
Entry fees vary by format. The event is organized by EverFurther Events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
