The Next Loop Endurance Series - New England

The Next Loop Endurance Series - New England is held on October 31, 2027, in Plainville, Massachusetts. Five distances all start at 7:00 a.m.: a 50K (31.1 mi), the marathon (26.2 mi), the half marathon (13.1 mi), a 10K (6.2 mi) and a 5K (3.1 mi).

Late October in New England is the best racing weather of the year — cold at the start, perfect an hour later — and a looped course lets you take advantage of it without carrying anything. Leave your own drink at the lap point, dress for the second half rather than the first, and if you are stepping up to the 50K, this is about as favourable a date as the calendar offers.
