The EBEF Bear Crawl is a November 5K run and walk held at the Community Arts Center on Cranbury Road in East Brunswick, New Jersey. This is a local race that supports schools; entry fees go to the East Brunswick Education Foundation, funding grants to improve curriculum in East Brunswick Public Schools.
The 5K race follows a certified flat course, suitable for runners, walkers, and families seeking a simple community event. Children have their own races by age and grade, ranging from a 50-yard dash for 2-3 year olds to a 1-mile race for 4th-6th graders. Medals are awarded in the 5K to the top three finishers in age groups from 19 and under to 70 and over.
