QUICK FACTS:

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 $220,000 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. Kids set goals and are challenged to run, jog, walk or move the equivalent of four (or more!) marathons over the course of a season. 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.

About Dallas

Scenic view of

Dallas, the ninth largest city in the United States and the third largest in the state of Texas, is an impressive melting pot of culture and character. Boasting high-end luxury hotels, innumerable fine dining spots, and one of the busiest airports in the world, Dallas maintains an upscale ethos reflected by an affluent population, world-class museums, and a shimmering modern skyline. Its history was marred by the infamous assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, but there is more historic and contemporary heritage to be discovered in the city.
