5th Annual 5K Walk/Run to benefit Eastern Shore Rabbit Rescue
Hop into spring! Join Eastern Shore Rabbit Rescue and Education Center for the fifth annual 5K Bun Run. We will have an in-person organized event in Rock Hall, MD (a small town on the Chesapeake Bay) on April 19, 2025 and a virtual option that you can do anywhere, anytime. Either way, you can choose your own pace – walk or run!
Our 5K route for the in-person event will take participants past the harbor and the beach, with scenic views of the Chesapeake Bay and Swan Creek. Funds raised will go toward veterinary expenses and other operational expenses. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates!
Don’t live on the Eastern Shore but want to participate in Bun Run? Come visit our beautiful bayside town and stay for a couple of nights! Several inns, either in town or a short ride away, are offering discounts of 25 or 30 percent to the Bun Runners. Check out this page for more information.
