The Next Loop Endurance Series - Tyler
The Next Loop Endurance Series at Tyler State Park is scheduled for November 14, 2026, at 789 Park Road 16, Tyler, TX. The course runs on trails through the pine forests of East Texas and includes winding singletrack, rolling hills, lake views, shaded forest sections, and well-maintained surfaces.
The event uses a loop format consisting of a 5K circuit. Athletes start together, complete one loop at a time, and may choose to continue for additional laps. A staffed start/finish staging area and an aid station are provided each lap for hydration, nutrition, and crew access. Runners do not need to commit to a final distance before beginning.
Distances offered include:
- 5K
- 10K
- 15K
- 1/2 Marathon (13.1M)
- 18K
- Marathon (26.2)
- 50K
The series presents the loop structure as an alternative to fixed-distance commitment: each completed loop counts and athletes can stop when they choose. The format is described as a way for runners to build endurance over time, practice pacing and nutrition, and use the same loop repeatedly to measure progress.
