Still soaking this in. ❤️
What started as a small group of us running around the lake turned into something so much bigger. Because of this community, Loop-the-Lake New Year’s Eve Celebration raised nearly $24,000 for kids in Dallas to start 2026 strong.

Our Premier Sponsor @polsinelli_law — your belief in this event and these kids made real impact possible.
Our host of event partners — you did more than support the event, you elevated it.
Our volunteers — you gave your time, your energy, and your enthusiasm before most of the city was awake.

And to every athlete who showed up and ran or walked with purpose — every mile mattered, and every step made a difference.

This is community. This is why we go. 👟❤️

Awesome Marathon Kids team member, Jasmine Adgerso

Awesome Marathon Kids team member, Jasmine Adgerson, owned the roads at this year’s Marine Corps Marathon. She was so speedy, after missing her two other times on the course, we were finally able to get these pics somewhere past 18 miles.

In addition to her usual duties, she knocks down marathons on the weekend and cheers on the kids at MK kick-offs like the one here in Dallas at Gill Elementary School.

This years it was the 4th-6th graders at Charles A

This years it was the 4th-6th graders at Charles A. Gill Elementary School were getting in on the fun! They had an awesome time at the Marathon Kids kickoff — it’s always inspiring to see firsthand what our Dallas Loop-the-Lake event supports every year.

These students love the Marathon Kids program, and the teachers couldn’t be happier to give them something active and joyful to rally around.

🇺🇸 Nationally, Marathon Kids inspired 431,000 participants to complete more than 6.7 million miles, a true movement of kids proving the power of setting goals, moving together, and celebrating every stride.

For over two decades Dallas Loop-the-Lake Foundation has donated more than $220,000 for kids to participate in this amazing program. And we’re already gearing up for our 22nd annual Loop-the-Lake Run — early sign-up is open now (link in bio)! Sign up before November 1st and get $15 off.

Big thanks to our LTL volunteers who came out to cheer the kids during their run. @jessicadionne08 @samcadecoaching @flexinat54 @dawngrunnagle @lwarner1313
@jcraw12 and Clive.

Shoutout to @MarathonKids @jasmineadgerson @stefanie.ediger for putting on such a fun kickoff and an even bigger shoutout to the amazing staff at Gill Elementary School @cgillelem You make Dallas proud!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Running is Essential for Kids 🌟

Let’s lace up those shoes and embrace the many benefits running brings to children:
• 💪 Builds Strength & Endurance: Supports strong muscles and cardiovascular development.
• 🧠 Boosts Brain Function: Increases focus, concentration, and mental clarity.
• 😊 Elevates Mood: Releases endorphins to reduce stress, anxiety, and boost happiness.
• 🏆 Nurtures Confidence: Achieving small goals builds self-esteem and resilience.
• 🤝 Encourages Social Skills: Group runs teach teamwork, communication, and friendship.
• 🥦 Sets Healthy Habits: Encourages an active lifestyle from an early age.

Tip: Keep it simple and fun—try park sprints, playful races, or family jogs.

Let’s inspire our little runners to thrive both physically and mentally! 🌱👟
