Why Crawfish?

The Accel Group is bringing something different to the Cedar Valley! We are excited to host the first annual Accel Crawfish Crawl in downtown Cedar Falls this summer. This will be a family-friendly event with a festival and celebration feel. With a riverside 5k run for adults, a race for kids, a delicious meal, and a live band, the Accel Crawfish Crawl is the perfect summer event!

Our races are for all ages! You can walk, run, race, jog, or even crawl it. All races start behind the River Place Plaza stage on the trail. All trails will be marked accordingly to keep our participants safe! If you aren’t a runner, you can also purchase tickets just for the crawfish boil.
