Your Endurance. No Limits. One More Loop.
Ready to take the next step beyond the marathon? The Next Loop 40M/50M Challenge at Indian Camp Creek is designed for runners looking to break through barriers, tackle their first ultra-distance event, or chase a new personal best in a supportive trail-running environment.
Set within the beautiful trails of Indian Camp Creek Park, runners will complete repeated loops on a scenic course featuring wooded trails, rolling terrain, creek crossings, and natural Missouri landscapes. The loop format allows athletes to return regularly to the Start/Finish area, aid station, and personal staging areas while still experiencing a true trail ultra challenge.
Unlike traditional point-to-point races, The Next Loop format removes many of the logistical concerns that can make longer distances intimidating. Your gear, nutrition, crew, and support are always close by, allowing you to focus on one thing—taking the next step.
