The Next Loop Endurance Series | Busse Woods

The Next Loop Busse Woods offers an innovative endurance experience for trail runners of all backgrounds and skill levels. Set within the picturesque Busse Woods Trail System, this unique event invites participants to explore their limits at their own pace through scenic 5K loops that wind through rolling forest terrain.
Runners start fresh every hour with a new loop beginning at each top-of-the-hour mark. After completing your lap, you have time to rest and refuel before the next round begins. This flexible format allows for as many loops as you feel capable of running, from just one to multiple laps that can add up to impressive distances like 10K, half marathon, or even a full marathon.
The event emphasizes progression over competition, with no eliminations and no pressure to reach any specific distance goal. Every mile counts towards your personal best, whether it's extending past previous limits or simply enjoying the camaraderie of fellow trail runners in a supportive environment.
For those looking for an extended challenge on the same day at Busse Woods, The Next 40M/50M Challenge offers continuous running options. But regardless of which format you choose, "The Next Loop" is about pushing your boundaries and celebrating every step along the way. Join us to experience the freedom and flexibility that comes with this unique endurance series.
