The 33rd running of the crabs took place over the last three days at the Beach Bar.  The thrilling crescendo led to the semi-finals and final.  See the run that took all the marbles in this video.

 

Here are the lucky winners with the name of their crabs:

  • Heather Swaenepoel - 1st place "Pirate Booty"
  • Shelbie Lock - 2nd place "Freedom"
  • Jessica Rutenbar - 3rd place "Crabby Cakes"

Crab Race proceeds benefit Columbia and Napoleon schools, Napoleon Lions Club and the Clark Lake Spirit Trail.  The event is supported by area businesses, including the title sponsor, M-R Builder.  Check out the sponsors and this year’s schedule below.

Events like these don’t happen on their own.  It takes work.
