The Next Loop Endurance Series - Shreveport
The Next Loop Endurance Series is a loop-based endurance event held at Eddie D Jones Park in Keithville, Louisiana. The event follows a structured format where participants run a 3.1-mile (5K) trail loop, with a new loop beginning every hour on the hour. This format focuses on consistency, pacing, and recovery between efforts.
Participants have the flexibility to choose their total distance during the event. After completing a loop, runners can choose to continue or stop without penalties or a "did not finish" (DNF) status. All completed loops are officially recorded, and results are ranked based on the number of loops finished and the combined time of those loops.
Available distances based on the number of completed loops include:
- 5K (1 loop)
- 10K (2 loops)
- 15K (3 loops)
- Half Marathon (4 loops)
- Marathon (9 loops)
- 50K (10 loops)
The course is a clearly marked trail loop. A central base area at the start and finish line serves as a staging area where athletes can set up personal nutrition and gear. An aid station providing water, electrolytes, and basic food is accessible at the start and finish of each loop. Participants are responsible for starting the next loop exactly at the top of the hour; failures to start on time signify the end of the participant's race.
