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
- Or stop — no penalties, no DNFs
- Every completed loop counts.
⏱️ How Scoring Works
This event uses a simple, transparent scoring system that rewards consistency, pacing, and endurance.
For each loop:
- Time starts when the loop begins
- Time stops when you cross the finish line
- That loop time is officially recorded
- Your overall score is calculated by combining the times of every loop you complete.
There are:
- ❌ No penalties for stopping
- ❌ No missed-cutoff failures
- ✅ Only completed loops counted. This allows athletes at every level to compete meaningfully.
