You think you’re good? You think you’re tough? Come try our course…IT’LL EAT YOU UP! The Cannibal is a 5/10/15K run or a 5K walk that starts in beautiful downtown Hannibal, and proceeds south along the Mississippi River and straight up one of Hannibal’s toughest hills, the infamous Lover’s Leap, before returning to the downtown area. The Cannibal is a U.S.A. Track and Field certified course.
Proceeds from this year’s race will benefit the Legacy of Hope Campaign at Hannibal Regional Foundation.

2026 Hull of a Race for Parkinson’s
Saturday, August 15th
In 2025, Hull of a Race Sets Fundraising Record, Donating A Historic $26,000 To the St. Louis Area American Parkinson Disease Association. We also had 241 runners registered for our race!
We also made many improvements to help accommodate and welcome our Parkinson’s Heroes who joined us for the race. We offered a more comfortable viewing area with a tent, seating, cooling fans (which helped as it was a toasty day) and specific parking near the start/finish line, so they had an exciting view!
In 2026 we look forward to another fantastic opportunity to raise money for the American Parkinson’s Disease Association research. We will continue to provide memorial or honor name badges for runners to wear with names of our Parkinson’s heroes. Please let us know of names and addresses of those you know with Parkinson’s, so we can contact them or you about our race, name badges, and recognition. Also contact us if you would like to join our Pit Crew and help with the race. New members are always welcome. We hope you will walk or run, and/or donate or simply join us at Hull of a Race in 2026. It is truly a heartwarming morning that will leave you with a good feeling for being a part of it! Please feel free to contact Jeanie Cox at 217-430-9476 or Pam Peters at 217- 440-5523, if you would be willing to hand out flyers, help with advertising, or any other aspect of the race. Many hands make the work lighter and help us reach our goals of more awareness, participation, and donations.
Together, we can make 2026, our 20th year the most successful and memorable of all!
