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.
