The next steps after muddiest runner-hood:
10 or more Loops
- gets you the coveted “Red Stripe Bib” whenever you run the Loop in the future.
- 295 (update) Loop runners have reached this milestone — with 130 of those runners participating in the latest year (and 21 newly joining the 10+ club).
20 or more Loops
- If you sign up and you have more than 20 loops:
- You get your tenure in years as your bib number — unless you already have a favored number already designated.
- 31 (update) Loop runners have reached this milestone (2 new this year: Mike Paletta & Gerry Sullivan) — with 19 of the 31 running in the latest year.
- We have a rare edition 20+ Loop Club baseball hat that these runners are eligible to receive. If you are one of the 31 and don’t have this cap, contact us or email leathermansloop@gmail.com. We have some newly printed ones.
- If you already got one — congratulations! It is well deserved and should be proudly worn!
