The Next Loop Endurance Series - Pinnacle Mountain

Roland, United States • 9 May 2026

The Next Loop Endurance Series : Pinnacle Mountain

The Next Loop Endurance Series is a loop-based trail running event held on a clearly marked 3.1-mile (5K) trail loop at Pinnacle Mountain State Park in Roland, AR. Participants begin a new lap every hour and may stop after any completed loop; each finished loop counts toward the official result with no penalties or DNFs.

Loop timing is recorded from the start of the hour until the athlete crosses the finish line; overall results are ranked by the number of loops completed and the combined time of those loops. A central start/finish base and an aid station are available each hour. The course environment is family- and crew-friendly and makes it easy to refuel, rest, and reassess between laps.

The event lists common distance equivalents to completed loops and provides official timing and post-race results for loop-by-loop analysis. It is intended for a broad range of athletes, including runners training for longer events and athletes who want to test pacing, recovery, and consistency over repeated efforts.

Practical details included in the event information note a flat entry fee and the venue address at 9600 Highway 300, Roland, AR 72135. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
