About the Bunny Hop 5k

The course runs on the Bubble Gum Rail Trail, a converted rail corridor that tends to be flat and smooth underfoot. Rail trails move in straight lines through whatever the landscape offers, and this one is billed as fast, so expect wide open running with few technical surprises. A kids fun run shares the same trail, so there are small racers out there alongside the main field.

Packet pickup opens race morning at a check-in table near the start, where bibs are assigned on the spot. Parking is at the race venue on Breazeale Street. The organizers suggest carpooling and arriving with enough time to park and get checked in before the start.

Common Questions About the Bunny Hop 5k

Will I finish last at the Bunny Hop 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:55, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:32, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Bunny Hop 5k a good first 5K?

It is a small race (33 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Bunny Hop 5k?

The 5K winner ran 19:25 while the median finisher took 30:55. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
