The Kiwanis Club of Natchitoches is hosting its 8th annual Kiwanis 5K Color Run and Pancake Festival. The festival-style event will take place at Northwestern State University’s Collin's Pavilion on September 28th, 2024. This event will include a 1-mile fun run and 5K Color Run with medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places for both runs. Along the route, there will be volunteers throwing colors at those who want to participate. There will be free pancakes, face painting, bouncy houses, and more. 100% of the funds raised will go to the Natchitoches community's children through service projects, school supplies, literacy projects, and more. Donations will be accepted.
