About the race
The Next Loop: Endurance Series at Eddie D Jones Park is a loop-based trail event on a clearly marked 3.1-mile course. Runners complete a scenic 5K loop each hour and may stop after any loop; each finished loop counts toward the official result and is timed individually.
The event uses hourly loop starts, with loop time recorded from the start of the hour to the finish line. Final ranking is based first on the number of loops completed and then on combined total time. There are no penalties for stopping; completed loops remain valid even if a runner stops before the final hour.
Aid is available hourly at a centralized base area for hydration and basic nutrition. The centralized loop format also makes it straightforward for friends, family, or crew to provide assistance and support between loops. Founding Finishers of this inaugural, limited-field event will be recognized in The Next Loop Series history.
Distances observed during the event include:
- 5K loop on a 3.1-mile natural trail
- 2 loops = 10K
- 4 loops = Half Marathon

- 10 loops = 50K
