Bunny Hop 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the 15th Annual Bunny Hop 5K, a vibrant community event set to take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in scenic Orange Beach, Alabama. This popular 5K walk/run offers a fantastic opportunity to kick off your spring with fitness and camaraderie, alongside a delightful 1 Mile Walk for all ages. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions around 70°F for highs and 47°F for lows, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather along Alabama's beautiful coast.

The race begins at 8:30 AM CST, with both the 5K and 1 Mile events starting and finishing at The Wharf, a bustling entertainment district located at 23101 Canal Road. Packet pick-up is conveniently held on race morning, between 7 AM and 8 AM, in front of the iconic Ferris Wheel, setting the stage for a festive atmosphere. Beyond the personal accomplishment, participation in the Bunny Hop 5K supports a meaningful cause: proceeds benefit the Ann Reese Grote Memorial Scholarship, awarded to deserving graduating seniors from Gulf Shores High School and Orange Beach High School who demonstrate a commitment to community service.

Join fellow runners and walkers for an enjoyable morning that combines the thrill of a race with the warmth of giving back. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply want to experience a fun-filled event with family and friends, the Bunny Hop 5K at The Wharf promises a memorable start to your spring season.
