The Next Loop - Shreveport (Oct 10, 2026)
The Next Loop at Eddie D. Jones Park in Keithville, Louisiana, uses a clearly marked 3.1 mile (5K) loop that runs through wooded terrain and open park areas. The loop returns to the same central start and finish area, where a staffed aid station is available each lap. The park address is 8400 Mike Clark Road, Keithville, LA 71047.
The trail surface is primarily dirt and grass with occasional packed gravel sections. The route is mostly flat with minimal elevation change and generally good footing, which supports steady pacing and repeated laps. Runners complete the same loop multiple times if they choose, with the ability to rest or refuel between laps.
The event credits each completed loop, so overall distance is determined by how many laps a runner finishes. Athletes begin together and proceed one loop at a time, choosing whether to continue after each lap. The format is presented as an option for a range of participants, including people building distance and confidence, those using laps to practice pacing and nutrition for longer races, and runners interested in accumulating longer distances by repeating the loop.
