Hootenanny Hustle

Enjoy a colorful 5k walk/run at the scenic Mark Twain Cave, then stick around for family friendly festivities at the 5th Annual Harvest Hootenanny Festival! All proceeds from Color in Motion Hootenanny Hustle will directly support our local youth here in Hannibal by funding our local Kids in Motion and Teens in Motion programs. Color in Motion is untimed, but there will be a clock at the finish line for those who wish to note their time. Their will be a 2K route available to participants who wish to take an easier route, as the 5K route does travel up a substantial hill that takes you over the top of Cameron Cave.

Trophies will be awarded at the finish line to the first place youth, male and female, as well as to the team raising the most money and the team with the most members. Medals will be awarded to the first place adult male and female.

Kids In Motion (KIM) is a pre-employment/service learning training program for at-risk youth in 6-8 grade . The mission of our program is to teach teens and pre-teens to value work, to value their community, and to value their future. Teens in Motion serves high school aged youth in Hannibal by exposing them to many different job and career opportunities, college and trade school options, and also focuses heavily on soft skills, such as communication, interview skills, and personal presentation. More information can be found on the KIM Website

During the race, participants will be doused with a non-toxic dyed cornstarch powder. This powder will wash out of clothes, however participants should know that they will be fairly messy after the race is complete. There are facilities on site where participants can clean up before heading over to the festival, if so desired.

Teams with 5 or more people receive a $5 discount per person
