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.
Your Endurance. No Limits. One More Loop
