The Next Loop Endurance Series - Lake Carl Blackwell, Stillwater

The Next Loop Endurance Series is a loop-based trail event held on a clearly marked 3.1 mile (5K) loop at Lake Carl Blackwell Park in Stillwater, OK. Runners begin a new lap on the hour, complete as many laps as they choose, and each finished loop counts toward their total distance.

Distances achieved by completing loops:

  • 1 loop = 5K
  • 2 loops = 10K
  • 4 loops = Half Marathon
  • 9 loops = Marathon
  • 10 loops = 50K

Each loop is timed from the top of the hour to the finish, and final results rank participants by number of loops completed and combined total time. There are no cutoffs that cancel earlier loops; completed loops remain part of a runner’s official result even if the athlete stops later in the day.

An aid station is available at the central base area before each loop to provide hydration and basic nutrition. The centralized loop format also makes it easier for companions and crew to assist and support runners between laps.

Entry is a flat fee of $100. The event is presented on the listed date at Lake Carl Blackwell, 11000 W Hwy 51, Stillwater, OK. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
