The Next Loop Endurance Series - Shreveport, LA
The event takes place at Eddie D Jones Park in Keithville, Louisiana, and uses a single approximately 3.1-mile trail loop with race headquarters at the Main Pavilion. The surface is trail and all events use the same loop course.
There are two main formats and several distance options:
- Approx. 3.1-mile trail loop
- Hourly Challenge: one loop every hour
- 12-hour Challenge: continuous 12-hour event, choose distance
- Individual 40-mile and 50-mile options
- 2-person and 4-person 50-mile team relays
The Hourly Challenge has runners start a loop every hour and complete as many loops as they choose; there is no required distance, and participants may rest between hourly starts. The 12-hour Challenge runs continuously for twelve hours with participants choosing their own distance goals, including 40 miles, 50K, 50 miles, or farther. Team relays require teammates to alternate full loops until the team reaches 50 miles.
Support is staged at the Main Pavilion each loop and includes water, cookies, candies, chips, pickles, and some warm food at night; Tailwind Nutrition is provided but gels are not supplied. Staging may be from the pavilion, nearby green space, or a vehicle. Pacers are allowed after the fourth loop, one at a time. The event is organized by EverFurther Events.
