The Next Loop Endurance Series
How the Next Loop Works
The Next Loop Endurance Series uses a simple, repeatable loop-based format designed to challenge athletes while keeping the environment supportive, visible, and fair.
​​​
Each event is built around a 5K trail loop with hourly starts. Athletes decide how far they go — one loop at a time.
​​​
There is no predetermined distance commitment. Every completed loop counts. Every earned distance is honored.
​
​​​Each event offers up to ten hourly loop opportunities, allowing athletes to progress as far as they choose within the event window.
The Loop Format​
-
The course consists of a single 5K loop
-
Each loop starts on the hour
-
All athletes begin each loop together
-
Athletes may attempt as many loops as they choose, provided they meet the completion requirement
-
Events are structured around up to 10 consecutive hourly loops
​​​​
This structure creates a shared rhythm, accountability, and a strong sense of community throughout the event.
​
Depending on the event, athletes may complete as many as 10 loops within the scheduled event window.
Complete 2 loops and you’ve run a 10K. Finish 5 loops for 25K. Complete all 10 loops and you’ve earned a 50K ultra.
One Format. Endless Ways to Test Yourself.
