Overview

Organised by EverFurther, LLC, The Next Loop Endurance Series | Shreveport took place on trail loops at Eddie D Jones Park in Keithville, LA. Covering 50 kilometers, the event required runners to maintain a minimum pace of 12 minutes per kilometer across its 10-hour limit.

That time allowance sat squarely in the middle of the distance category: more generous than 53% of 50k cut-offs and tighter than 47% across 1057 peers. This balance gave participants the room to hike slower stretches on the 5-kilometer circuits without risking immediate disqualification, while still demanding consistent forward progress to finish within the 10 hours.
