From the Organizer
The Loop-de-Lori is a family friendly nonprofit event designed to support the Lori Kleich Foundation. With options for participants of all ages and skill levels, the event features a fun 5K, a timed 5K, and a triathlon. The triathlon consists of a 5K run, an 11-mile bike ride, and a 3.5-mile kayak course, with the race beginning and ending at Loopy’s Bar and Grill. Participants can compete individually or form teams for the triathlon.
This event serves as a key fundraiser for the Lori Kleich Foundation, which was established in memory of Lori Kleich to provide our community with access to functional medicine. The Foundation is committed to supporting the health and well-being of individuals through therapies that nurture the mind, body, and soul.
