Lace up your running shoes for the 11th Annual Bunny Hop 5K, a cherished community event taking place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in the picturesque city of Portsmouth, VA. This flat and fast 5K course winds along the beautiful Portsmouth waterfront, offering scenic views perfect for runners and walkers of all ages and skill levels. Expect typical race day conditions with comfortable spring temperatures, historically ranging from a low of 48F to a high of 68F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation.
Beyond the race itself, the Bunny Hop 5K stands out as a vibrant family-friendly occasion, with all proceeds directly supporting the Children's Museum of Virginia. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at the Atlantic Union Bank Pavilion at 16 Crawford Circle, which transforms into a lively post-race celebration. Participants are encouraged to embrace the festive spirit by donning their finest "spring" running gear, and can look forward to an atmosphere filled with dancing, refreshing treats, and a joyful awards ceremony. Adults can even enjoy a celebratory beer after crossing the finish line, while kids are treated to Chick-fil-A, bubbles, and face painting, making it a truly memorable day for everyone.
