The Next Loop Endurance Weekend at Indian Camp Creek Park
The event is a multi-day endurance weekend held at Indian Camp Creek Park in Foristell, Missouri on January 1, 2027. All events use the same approximately 3.1-mile trail loop and share Race Headquarters at Shelter 1.
Multiple event formats are offered on the same course:
- The Next Loop Hourly Challenge - one 3.1-mile loop each hour, up to 10 loops (50K)
- The Next 50K Challenge - continuous clock with 3.1-mile splits and a 34-hour cutoff
- The Next 50M Challenge - continuous clock with 3.1-mile splits and a 34-hour cutoff
- The Next 100K Challenge - continuous clock with 3.1-mile splits and a 34-hour cutoff
- The Next 100M Challenge - continuous clock with 3.1-mile splits and a 34-hour cutoff
- The Next 48 Hour Challenge - continuous clock for up to 48 hours, no required distance

- The Next 50M 4 Person Team Relay - four-person team covering 50 miles on looped course
- The Next 12 Hour Challenge - continuous clock for up to 12 hours
A central aid station at Shelter 1 is stocked each loop with items such as cookies, chips, pickles, potatoes, fresh fruit, water, and some warm food overnight. TAILWIND Nutrition provides an endurance fuel drink; runners should bring any preferred gels or chews. Pacers are permitted on the continuous-clock challenges after the fourth loop, one pacer at a time. Packet pickup and required pre-race briefings take place the day before and the morning of the event. The park generally does not allow overnight camping, and there is space for gear, canopies, and vehicle staging near Shelter 1. No DNF policy applies to some events where every completed loop counts.
