Description

 - Enjoy nature at night on the Root River Trail! The Moonlight Hoot Scoot is a run/walk with a 5k race and a 1 mile fun run, with proceeds benefitting the International Owl Center in Houston, MN, the only owl education center in North America.

The Hoot Scoot route takes participants out of Houston on the paved Root River Trail, lit only by luminaries and the moon. Each participant will get a reusable lighted bracelet for safety as well as a brightly colored Hoot Scoot shirt featuring the race's fun running owl logo.

There are prizes for the runners/walkers who wear the best owl costumes, as well as for the fastest runners in each age category. Expect fun awards like owl chocolates, owl pies, apples and such instead of the usual medals or trophies.

Other Info

Cost to participate is $20 for the 1-mile and $25 for the 5k races if registered by October 7. After that date the prices increase by $5 and t-shirts are not guaranteed. True procrastinators can even register just before the race.
