About the race
Loop Out the Year is a timed trail running event organized by Trail Therapy Running at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, WA. Participants choose a timed event and run as many loops as they can within that period.
Distances offered:
- 3 hours
- 6 hours
- 8 hours
The main course is a 4.52 mile loop with 495 feet of gain that starts and finishes at the barn near the dog park parking lot. During the final 1.5 hours of each event, participants who cannot complete a full loop in the remaining time may run a 1.4 mile loop with 125 feet of gain. Runners return to the start/finish/aid station after each loop so a volunteer can record the lap.
Participants may use their vehicles as personal aid stations when the course passes near the parking lot, but they must still check in at the official aid station after each loop for distance to be counted. The event provides an aid station with light common food items such as candy, chips, cookies, quesadillas, peanut butter and jelly, and fruit. Water and Skratch electrolytes are available, plus warm beverages during the run and soup at the finish. Handmade finisher awards are given to all finishers.
