The Next Loop | Shreveport

The Next Loop at Eddie D. Jones Park in Keithville, LA uses a repeated loop format centered on a clearly marked 3.1 mile (5K) circuit. The course runs through wooded terrain and open park areas and returns each lap to the same central start and finish area with a fully stocked aid station.

The surface is primarily dirt and grass with occasional packed gravel sections. The trail is mostly flat with minimal elevation change and generally good footing, supporting steady pacing on each lap. Runners complete one loop at a time and receive credit for every finished lap. The loop format allows participants to rest or refuel between laps and to choose how many laps to complete, from a single loop up to multiple laps.

The event description notes that the series is intended to accommodate a range of endurance goals. It describes uses such as building confidence on trail for newer runners, practicing pacing and nutrition for runners preparing for longer road races, or stacking laps for athletes pursuing longer distances.
