WHO ARE WE?
Dallas Loop the Lake Foundation was founded by Don Hunter & Beth Crider in 2004. It started with just a small group of running buddies gathering for a New Year's Eve run. Now, over two decades later, Dallas's longest running Fun Run brings the city's communities together for a festive celebration tradition. Loop-the-Lake Foundation has raised over $240,000 for Marathon Kids.
WHAT IS MARATHON KIDS?
Marathon Kids is a nonprofit organization committed to reversing the youth inactivity trend with proven solutions that support the Whole Child, Whole School, Whole Community. Marathon Kids is an evidence-based physical activity program that uses technology and research-proven methods to help kids adopt an active lifestyle.

Not only is goal-setting being taught, but Marathon Kids is an opportunity for all kids - at any fitness level - to learn how being active every day improves their entire well-being.
