I prefer loop trails because they offer different scenery throughout the run and bring you back to where you started without having to retrace your steps. It also makes the experience feel more like an adventure, especially when exploring a new area.
Loops are nice and they always give you more incentive to finish the run.
You can turn around at any point on an out-and-back, shortening it if you wanted to.
Most of the time if you’re doing a loop, you finish it.
