The Next Loop Endurance Series at Tyler State Park
The Next Loop Endurance Series at Tyler State Park runs repeated laps on a scenic trail loop with multiple event formats and shared race headquarters at the Blackjack Savannah Pavilion. Pre-race briefings are required and packet pick-up and briefings take place at the pavilion before race day. Pre-race briefings are the last opportunity to change events.
Event formats include an hourly loop challenge, a continuous 12 hour challenge, long distance challenges, and team relays. In the hourly format one loop departs every hour with all runners starting together; runners must complete the loop within the hour to be eligible to start the next loop and may run as many loops as they choose. The 12 hour format is continuous and allows runners to complete as many loops as possible within the event window. Long distance options use the same loop; 40 miles is about 13 loops and 50 miles about 16 loops. Team relays use the same loop with one team member on course at a time and full-loop exchanges between teammates.
A central aid station at race headquarters provides water, Tailwind Endurance Fuel, snacks, and some warm food through the night; gels are not supplied. Runners may stage gear near the pavilion or at their vehicle. Pacers are permitted after the fourth loop, one pacer on course at a time, and must follow event rules. No refunds are issued; entries may be transferred through the organizer EverFurther Events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
