Creek Crawl

Prepare for an exhilarating challenge at the Creek Crawl, a 4-mile obstacle race set to test your grit and endurance on May 9, 2026, in Foley, Alabama. This isn't your average run; it's an invitation to embrace the mud and rugged terrain of the expansive Graham Creek Nature Preserve. Runners will navigate a course spanning 400 acres of diverse ecosystems, including lush forests and serene wetlands, conquering at least 20 challenging obstacles designed to push your limits. The experience culminates with a 25-yard water obstacle, offering a refreshing splash to the finish or the option to bypass for an additional half-mile run.

Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable lows around 60°F and highs around 82°F, with a low 11% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for getting active outdoors. Two water stations along the course will keep you hydrated, while the finish line promises rewarding post-race refreshments, including a meal and a celebratory beer for those over 21. The Creek Crawl offers something for everyone, from an elite heat for serious competitors to a fun-filled day for all participants aged 10 and up. After conquering the course, take advantage of the available outdoor showers and hoses for cleanup, then celebrate your achievement with music, and witness awards presented to the top three male and female finishers. All proceeds from this unique event benefit the educational programs at Graham Creek Nature Preserve, making your muddy efforts a contribution to a great cause.
