Krewe de Loops 36 is a running, trail running, and ultra race on January 23–24, 2027 in Benton, LA, with entry fees from $35 to $185.
Mardi Gras meets Backyard Ultra. 💜💚💛
A 36-hour Mardi Gras endurance challenge at Eightfold Farms in Benton, Louisiana.
But here’s the best part - you don’t have to be an ultra runner to join the Krewe.
Maybe this is your first 5K. Maybe you’re ready to tackle a 10K. Maybe you’ve always wanted to run your first half marathon, marathon, or ULTRA. Or maybe you just want to find out how far you can really go.
This race is YOUR challenge.
Complete a 3.2-mile loop every hour, on the hour, for as long as you choose to keep going.
Run one loop. Run two. Hit a new distance. Chase a huge goal. Stay all 36 hours.
There’s no “right” distance - just YOUR distance.
Come challenge yourself. Come surprise yourself. And come see just how many loops you’ve got in you. 💜💚💛
Every hour. On the hour. Until YOU decide you’re done.

This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
From 5K to marathon, running races are an accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
Running off-road — dirt, singletrack, and mountain paths — from 5Ks to ultras. The terrain makes for an exciting twist and adventure in your running journey.
An ultramarathon is anything beyond the standard marathon — 50K, 50-mile, 100K, 100-mile, and timed events. Crossing the line is less about speed and more about not quitting.
