The Bunny Wabbit Run is an Easter-themed running event that is scheduled for March 30, 2024. The run offers a 5k (called a single hop!), 10k (double hop), and half marathon. The Bunny Wabbit Run 5k and 10k start at 8:30 am, and the half marathon starts at 9 am. There’s also a 200m Kid’s Dash that happens at 7:30 am before the other races, which features the silly Wabbit. The event has an Easter Egg Hunt for kids 8 and under. The Bunny Wabbit Run starts at Independence Grove Forest Preserves and leads racers through the Des Plaines River and Casey Trails, past forests, rolling hills, and prairies. For a post-run or Easter weekend celebration, there is a vast picnic area near the start of the course that’s great for families.
