Kick off your Christmas Day morning with a festive run (or walk!) for the whole family at Trinity Park in Fort Worth, Texas. Join us for a fun and welcoming event open to all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re chasing a PR or simply enjoying a holiday morning on the course, this event is all about community, movement, and Christmas cheer.
Two days of run events (New Year's Eve and New Year's Day), with beautiful race shirts and finisher medals for everyone. We are celebrating getting active to end the year and getting active to start the new year off right! There is a 5K, half marathon, and marathon BOTH days. The 5K happens in its entirety before the half and full marathon, so participants can do up to 2 races per day. There's also a special perk for those who complete multiple running events over the two days – we know how runners love their bling! For those who want the biggest challenge of a 5K and marathon EACH day, they will finish the two days with 58.6 miles and go into the next year with some solid miles already!
This is our 23rd Running of the New Year's Eve Loop-the-Lake Run.

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. 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.
