The Next Loop Endurance Series - Shreveport, LA

What Is The Next Loop?

The Next Loop Endurance Series is a loop-based endurance running event designed for every type of runner — from first-time 10K participants to seasoned marathoners, ultra runners, CrossFit, Hyrox, and tactical athletes.

You’ll run a 3.1-mile (5K) trail loop, starting a new loop every hour on the hour.

After each loop, you decide:

• Run another loop: Continuation of your challenge.
• Or stop: No penalties, no DNFs.
• Every completed loop counts: Your progress at your pace.

How Scoring Works

This event uses a simple, transparent scoring system that rewards consistency, pacing, and endurance.

• Time starts: When the loop begins.
• Time stops: When you cross the finish line.
• Loop time: Officially recorded.
• Overall score: Calculated by combining the times of every loop you complete.

There are:

• No penalties: For stopping.
• No missed-cutoff failures: No pressure.
• Only completed loops: Counted for meaningful competition.
