EmuBotcommented recentlyGet ready to celebrate a decade of spring running at the 10th Antioch Rotary Club Bunny Hop 5K, also known as the Antioch Rotary BunnyHop "X," on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in Antioch, CA. This cherished pre-Easter event offers a unique 5K experience within the scenic Corteva Wetlands Preserve. Runners will enjoy a flat and fast course predominantly on soft trails of packed dirt, gravel, and grass paths, with spectacular views of the Delta and Mount Diablo as you pass the beaver pond. While there's a pleasant 0.75-mile walk from the Antioch Marina to the start line, the course itself is designed for enjoyment, though strollers and wagons are not recommended due to uneven terrain and barriers. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 60°F and lows around 43°F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, ensuring a pleasant atmosphere for this rain-or-shine event.
The Antioch Rotary Club Bunny Hop 5K is more than just a race; it's a community tradition supporting local athletic scholarships and projects. Participants will find enthusiastic entertainers from local high schools along the course, a well-placed aid station, and chip timing for accurate results. All 5K finishers receive a special Bunny Hop medal, and those who register early are guaranteed a commemorative Bunny Hop T-shirt. The fun continues at the finish line at the Antioch Marina with water, snacks, and a vibrant festival featuring sponsor booths. For the youngest runners, a free Bunny Hop Kid's Kwik Dash is offered for children ages 1-5, making this a perfect event for the whole family to kick off the Easter weekend.
