Next Loop Endurance Series - Shreveport, LA

Lace up for a distinctive challenge at the Next Loop Endurance Series – Shreveport, LA, set for Saturday, March 14, 2026, in Keithville, LA. This event redefines endurance running with its unique loop-based format, inviting participants to conquer a scenic 3.1-mile (5K) trail loop. Each hour on the hour, runners embark on a new loop from a central base area at 8400 Mike Clark Road, with the freedom to complete as many loops as they desire. This innovative structure allows runners to tailor their experience, whether aiming for a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon, or pushing the limits to a 50K, with every completed loop contributing to their overall score and no penalties for stopping. Typical race day conditions in mid-March offer ideal running weather, with comfortable highs around 69°F and lows near 46°F, and a minimal 14% chance of precipitation.

The Next Loop Endurance Series emphasizes discipline, pacing, and recovery over sheer speed, creating a supportive and family-friendly atmosphere perfect for all skill levels. A well-stocked aid station, offering water, basic food, and electrolytes, is conveniently located at the start/finish line and accessible each hour, ensuring runners can refuel and recuperate between loops. For those seeking an even greater test, a separate 50-mile challenge runs concurrently, featuring a continuous run format on the same clearly marked trail with a 12-hour cutoff and dedicated support.

Whether you're a newcomer looking to complete your first few loops without pressure or a seasoned ultra-runner honing your strategy, The Next Loop Endurance Series offers an engaging and flexible platform to discover your limits, one loop at a time.
