Coliseum Crawl

In the heart of downtown Robertsdale, near the historic coliseum, runners will start their journey through familiar streets lined with residential homes. The race begins at dawn, under a sky that promises clear skies and warm temperatures typical for early September in Alabama. Participants can expect a mix of paved roads and minor park paths as they navigate the course.
This event has been running since 2013, attracting hundreds of runners each year who come to support local charities through their participation. The Coliseum Crawl is more than just a race; it’s an annual tradition that brings together families and friends in celebration of community spirit.
The course venue offers a mix of terrain with hard and dry surface conditions perfect for the 5K Run, while the Fun Run 1 Miler provides a shorter but equally enjoyable experience. Runners will start from the coliseum grounds, wind through neighborhoods known for their charm, before returning to the finish line where aid stations are strategically placed.
On race morning, temperatures range between 21.3°C and 31.0°C, with an average of 26.2°C, which feels much like a comfortable day out in Alabama’s fall weather. The humidity is at 73.6%, making it slightly damp but not oppressive. A gentle breeze at around 8.9 km/h adds to the pleasant atmosphere.
The race offers distances of 5K and Fun Run 1 Miler, with registration fees starting from $20 for the shorter run up to $35 for the longer distance. Visit https://raceroster.com/events/2026/119448/coliseum-crawl to sign up.
