THE NEXT LOOP HOURLY CHALLENGE

One Loop. Every Hour. You Decide How Far.

The Next Loop Hourly Challenge is an hourly-start endurance event designed for runners and walkers of all experience levels.

At the top of every hour, participants begin the designated trail loop. Complete your loop, return to the start/finish area, recover, refuel and get ready for the next hourly start.

Your challenge is simple:

How many loops do you want to complete?

There is no required distance and no DNF.

Whether you complete a few loops, reach your first trail 10K, half-marathon-distance effort, marathon-distance effort, 50K or beyond, every completed loop counts.

Choose The Next Loop if you want:

  • A new loop beginning every hour

  • Recovery time between loops

  • The freedom to decide how many loops you complete

  • A more social, approachable endurance format

  • To challenge yourself without committing to a specific distance

  • No DNF — every completed loop is an accomplishment

RESULTS: Your result is based on the number of completed loops and total distance during the event.

This is NOT a continuous race. After completing each loop, you wait for the next hourly start.

If your goal is to run the loops continuously, register for The Next 50K/50M/100K/100M Challenge

THE NEXT 50K/50M/100K/100M CHALLENGE

Choose Your Distance. Find Your Limit. Push Beyond It.

The Next 50K/50M/100K/100M Challenge is a continuous trail endurance event built for runners ready to take on an ultra distance.

Everyone starts together, and from that point forward the clock keeps running. There are no hourly restarts and no required waiting between loops.

Run, walk, stop at your staging area, eat, rest or take a break whenever you choose — but the clock continues.

Choose your challenge: 50K, 50 Miles, 100K or 100 Miles. A 34 Hour Cutoff.

Maybe you're ready for your first 50K. Maybe it's time to step up to 50 miles or 100K. Or maybe 100 miles is the challenge you've been working toward.

You are competing against others completing the same distance you are.

Choose The Next 50K/50M/100K/100M Challenge if you want:

  • A continuous trail endurance race

  • Complete control over your pace

  • No hourly restarts

  • The ability to run continuously or take breaks when you choose

  • Regular access to aid and your personal staging area

  • To take the next step from 50K all the way to 100 miles

 

 RESULTS: Your official result is based on the distance you completed within the 34 HR cutoff . You will be ranked against runners who complete the same distance you complete.

Our goal at The Next Loop Endurance Series and EverFurther is to create events that are easy to navigate where you are able to attempt a distance that may be a bit further than you have gone before.

Maybe it's your first trail run, you first marathon distance, your first ultra at 50K or more. with no fear of a DNF!

We believe any distance, or any time on the trail is worthy of celebrating and recognition.

We report all distances. For a distance to count in certain record books there must be at least 14 participants in the event. By reporting all distances together, in one event, everyone is able to record their accomplishment. 

Your result will be listed with all others in your event. Results are listed by distance completed. You will see you results ranked in order with those who completed the same distance you did.
