More About 2023 Bunny Wabbit Run and Easter Egg Hunt @ Independence Grove Forest Preserve

“Bunny Wabbit Run” offers a 5k (one hop), a 10k (two hops), a half marathon, and a 200m Kid’s Dash with the silly Wabbit -- followed by an Easter Egg Hunt for children ages 8 and under!

Our scenic course features a few rolling hills which winds its way through the open prairies and lush green forests of the Des Plaines River (DPR) and Casey Trails in the springtime.

What’s more, by the race start in Independence Grove Forest Preserves is an awesome kid’s playground, a huge picnic area near a man-made beach for the whole family to enjoy the easter weekend!
