Best Foot Forward was born from our desire to create a ripple effect of community, improving lives one race at a time."
Dori Harris, founder
Our Story
Dori Harris is the founder of Best Foot Forward Events which organizes community-driven 5K walk/run events that bring together fitness, charity, and connection.
She began these events in honor of her mom, Arlene Kabb, who passed away suddenly in May 2023. Arlene was passionate about fitness and was also a cornerstone in her community. She went out of her way for anyone and everyone and had a heart of gold.
Dedicated to carrying on her Mom’s legacy of community, charity and fitness, Dori’s races support different local charities with each event. She has found inspiration and joy by supporting these charities, which in turn has helped tremendously in her own grief journey. Dori lives in Deerfield with her husband, 3 teenage boys and 2 dogs, and currently hosts annual 5Ks on Thanksgiving and Mother’s Day at the same locations each year, creating meaningful traditions for so many.
