The Next Loop Virtual Endurance Run is a self-paced endurance challenge built around one simple idea:

 

Run one loop. Then decide if you have one more.

This is not about chasing a single distance.
It’s about exploration — of terrain, mindset, and personal limits.

 

Participants choose their own loop (trail, road, park, track, or treadmill), complete as many loops as they wish, and log their results within the event window. Whether you run one loop or push toward 50 miles, every loop counts.

 

How It Works

• Choose any loop (recommended 3–5K)

• Run your loop as many times as you want

• Complete your loops within the event window

• Track runs using Strava, Garmin, Apple Health, or manual entry

• Upload activity screenshots or enter results manually

• Stop when you decide — there are no cutoff

• No limits. No pressure. One more loop.
