Description

Critter Crawl 5k and Yeti Dash February 17th, 2024 Update:

ANC Critter Crawl and Yeti Dash

The Alabama Nature Center (ANC) will host the Critter Crawl 5K and Yeti Dash February 17th, 2024! This 5K trail run is like no other! The Critter Crawl is a TRAIL RUN benefiting the ANC education programs that takes runners through a portion of the ANC's 5 mile trail system.

You will not want to miss out on the ANC Yeti Dash! The Yeti Dash is a 1 mile trail system run. Nature/critter costumes are mandatory for any guests who wish to participate in the Yeti Dash. Any guests who do not dress in costume will not be eligible to win a Yeti Dash medal. One medal will be awarded to the first place finisher in each age group category. This is an all-out race to beat the Yeti, can you survive?

Shirts are guaranteed for participants registering before January 31, 2024. Extras will be ordered but run out fast.

Day of registration fees are as follows:
Critter Crawl 5k Day of fee: $30

In addition to the races, there will be music, food, and vendors! Be sure to hang around after the race for a door prize give away and trophy ceremony! We will have music and food for everyone, and lots of room for kids to play. Make sure to wear warm athletic clothes since it will likely be cold. Parking will be in the pavilion meadow. While you are here be on the lookout for the elusive Yeti, you might even be able to snag a picture with him!
