Grab your running shoes and hit the trails for the Sixth Annual Alabama Nature Center (ANC) Critter Crawl! Get your heart pumping this Valentine’s day weekend with a little exercise and a breath of fresh air on Saturday, February 13th. The Critter Crawl will feature a 5K run along the beautiful trails located at Lanark in Millbrook. Bring the family and plan to run wild...or you can just crawl!
 
The Critter Crawl is a 5K that begins at 9:00 am, and takes runners through a portion of the ANC's 5 mile trail system. There will also be a 1 mile race beginning at 10:00 am. Both races start and finish at the ANC NaturePlex. Shirts are guaranteed for participants registering before February 1, 2016.

Pre-registration cost is $25 (5K) or $20 (1 Mile). Day-Of Registration we will add an additional $5.00. Prizes will be awarded for male and female overall, Masters (40+) and Grand Masters (50+). Also, awards will be given to the top three in each age groups.

In addition to the races, there will be music, food, vendors, and a costume contest! Dress your best and run as an Alabama critter! There will be prizes for the favorite costume! Have fun and be creative! Make sure to hang around after the race for a door prize give away and trophy ceremony!
