Our Story In a single moment, everything can change—and for our family, that moment came on December 10, 2014, when we lost our beloved son, Ronnie. Out of that heartbreak, Ronnie’s Run was established in 2015 as a way to honor his life, preserve his memory, and bring hope to others facing similar pain. Ronnie was a compassionate, intelligent, and determined young man. He attended St. Petersburg College, where he earned his Associate of Arts degree and was just one semester away from completing his bachelor’s degree when his life was tragically cut short. Then, March 22, 2026, our hearts were broken again when our daughter, Sharon, passed away from liver failure. Sharon was a Registered Nurse, a loving mother of two daughters, and a proud grandmother. She touched many lives with her compassion and is deeply missed. After losing both Ronnie and Sharon, I knew it was time to bring Ronnie’s Run back—not only to honor them, but also to remember the many lives lost to addiction and alcoholi

THE NEXT LOOP ENDURANCE SERIES | SHREVEPORT October 10, 2026 | Eddie D. Jones Park | Shreveport, Louisiana Your Endurance. No Limits. One More Loop. The Next Loop Endurance Series is a different kind of trail running event. You don’t have to decide today how far you can go. Show up, run the trail, and find out. THE NEXT LOOP ENDURANCE SERIES The format is simple: one trail loop every hour. Complete the loop, return to Race HQ, recover, refuel, and get ready to go again at the top of the next hour. Run one loop. Run five. Run ten and reach 50K territory. Keep going as long as you want. There is no DNF in The Next Loop. Every completed loop counts. This format is designed for everyone from runners taking their first step into trail and endurance running to experienced ultrarunners looking for a new challenge. You control your day. You control your distance. THE NEXT 40M / 50M / 12-HOUR CHALLENGE Want to keep moving instead of waiting for the next hourly start? Take on our continuous endurance challenge on the same trail system. Choose your goal and keep moving: 40 Miles | 50 Miles | 12 Hours Run, walk, hike, adjust your pace, take a break when you need it, and keep moving forward. This is endurance on your terms. THE COURSE The event takes place at Eddie D. Jones Park in Shreveport, Louisiana, on a trail course that brings runners back through our central Race HQ and aid station throughout the event. We've refined the Shreveport course for October to create an even better loop experience — runnable, challenging enough to keep things interesting, and designed for a full day on the trails. You'll never be hours away from your gear, food, crew, or support. Each return to Race HQ gives you an opportunity to refuel, reset, and decide what's next. NEW TO TRAIL OR ULTRA RUNNING? You're exactly who we want to see out there. You don't need to be an ultrarunner to enter The Next Loop. You don't need to know how many miles you're capable of running. Start with one loop. Then decide whether you have another one in you. You might surprise yourself. Experienced trail and ultra runners will find plenty of opportunity to test their endurance, while newer runners can discover trail running without the pressure of committing to a traditional ultra-distance race. ONE MORE LOOP. Come spend the day with us at Eddie D. Jones Park and discover what happens when the finish line isn't a predetermined distance. Run. Recover. Refuel. Reset. Then ask yourself one question: Do I have one more loop? October 10, 2026 Eddie D. Jones Park | Shreveport, Louisiana THE NEXT LOOP ENDURANCE SERIES Your Endurance. No Limits. One More Loop.
