  • "Shredding the Loop" at OSU Lake Carl Blackwell - trail run

    May 23

    The Next Loop Endurance Series Imagine a trail event that removes the stress of choosing one distance and instead lets you decide loop by loop how far you want to go — that’s The Next Loop Endurance Series. Held on a scenic 3.1-mile (5K) trail loop in Lake Carl Blackwell Park, Stillwater, OK, the format is simple: start a new lap every hour, complete as many as you can, and each loop you finish counts toward your total distance. Whether you’re chasing your first 5K or mixing pace strategies across multiple hours, this unique endurance format works for runners of all backgrounds. Course Overview Scenic 5K loop: The course follows a clearly marked 3.1-mile trail through natural terrain, offering variety with each lap. Loop-based structure: Runners begin each loop on the hour. After finishing, you rest, refuel, and decide whether to continue. Flexible distances: You’re never locked into a set goal — each completed loop builds toward a common distance milestone: 1 loop = 5K, 2 loops = 10K, 4 loops = Half Marathon, 9 loops = Marathon, 10 loops = 50K. Strategy-friendly: Run 1 loop or all 10 — every loop counts toward your official result, and your time is tracked per loop.
