Crawfish Crawl 2025, Bigger & Better Than Ever! Were excited to bring new elements to this year's event as it continues to grow! Here's what's in store:
5K Start & Finish line sponsored by Performance Therapy | Race begins at 9am with a run or walk through Downtown Brandon's flat and hilly terrain! Race lineup begins on Mary Ann Drive at 8am outside of the Brandon First Methodist Church bell tower, where the start line will be located. Enjoy surprise tunes along the race route! ALL finishers receive a Crawfish Crawl race medal, a crawfish that converts to a bottle opener! Each finisher receives a beer at the finish line with their race bib. Racers will also receive an exclusive discounted t-shirt price DURING race registration for $25, if they choose to order one in the pre-sale. Following the race, enjoy beer and crawfish! As a fundraiser for Brandon Main Street, Mudbugs042 will open early for ticket holders only from 10am - 2pm. They will open to the public at 2pm. Enjoy live crawfish races, live music, baseball games on the TV, a cold beverage, and a few pounds of crawfish! Packet & Pre-Sale shirt pickup will be Friday, April 4, 2025 from 4-7PM at Mudbugs042 and Saturday, April 5, 2025 from 7-8:30AM at Brandon First Methodist Church.

While enjoying your crawfish and all that Downtown Brandon has to offer, watch Brandon High School graduate and Brandon native Cliff Speaks live paint the finish line scene from the 5K, or shop with artist popping up for the art crawl. The painting will be raffled off to benefit Brandon Main Street Association! Raffle tickets can be purchased at the event.
The Patrick Harkins band will return for a second year to infuse live music into the Rooftop Revival parking lot from 11am - 2pm while you enjoy crawfish around a large table with family and friends!
NEW: Live Mudbug Race! Pick a mudbug and place your bet on which one will scurry to victory! Who will be crowned the fastest crawfish?
Food & Drink Highlights: Genna Benna's Truck (near the finish line) will be selling Mimosas, Bloody Mary's, and beer! During the Crawfish Crawl event, their menu on the truck will offer crawfish tails and crawfish empanadas for sale! They will have their full menus available inside the restaurants. The Cleaners by Pizza Shack will offer a special crawfish pizza at their restaurant!
