We're still working on refining these times, so please continue to check back in while we sort out more of these numbers. We'll work on mailing prizes to our top finishers by June 10th. Thanks again for participating, and if you'd like to help us finish off our fundraising goal for 2022, click here. Can't wait to see you next year (June 3, 2023) for Loop the 'Lupe!

The "Loop" is a 1K course looping Walt Hundley Playfield. On each lap (or "loop"), you'll face 7 different obstacles (NEW: 9 for our Elite Wave) including tires, walls, mud pits and more. All participants will complete the loop 5 times to complete their 5K race! We're still updating the course map, so check back for more details soon!

Each participant gets one of our slick, ready-to-race tech shirts, this year in men's and women's sizes! REGISTER to get yours today--and thanks for some great design work from Susie Perry Designs! Remember, T-SHIRT SIZES MAY BE LIMITED FOR REGISTRANTS AFTER MAY 15, SO SIGN UP RIGHT AWAY!

Check out our Loop the 'Lupe finisher medal, designed by Stride Awards, featuring a "mud"-spattered ribbon and a ROTATING foot logo, courtesy Susie Perry Designs! This award is for all finishers in all events (Obstacle Course, Fun Run, Senior Saunter and Youth Dash), and we think the updated 2023 design is awesome!

We have plenty of prizes for our winners! Prize decisions will be made by Loop the 'Lupe, and all decisions are final. Winners for in-person races will pick up prizes after results are tabulated on June 3rd at Walt Hundley Playfield. Virtual prize winners will be contacted via email.
