Hop into spring with the ESRREC Bun Run, a heartwarming 5K that combines scenic waterfront views with a meaningful cause in Rock Hall, MD, on April 4, 2026. This fifth annual event invites runners and walkers alike to enjoy a picturesque course along the harbor and beach, offering stunning vistas of the Chesapeake Bay and Swan Creek. Starting and finishing on Main Street, the route promises a refreshing experience, guided by volunteers stationed at various points to offer encouragement and assistance.

More than just a race, the ESRREC Bun Run is a crucial fundraiser for the Eastern Shore Rabbit Rescue and Education Center (ESRREC), a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to finding loving homes for abandoned pet rabbits. Your participation helps support their vital work, as funds raised go directly towards veterinary expenses and operational costs. With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 63°F and lows around 45°F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, it's an ideal setting for a comfortable and enjoyable run or walk.

Each in-person registration for this unique 5K includes a reusable ESRREC tote, and top finishers will earn medals, while all who report their results are entered into a prize drawing. Check-in is conveniently located at the Rock Hall Village Gazebo near the ESRREC Outreach Building, with ample parking nearby. Whether you're a seasoned runner or looking for a leisurely stroll with purpose, the ESRREC Bun Run offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, community spirit, and a chance to make a tangible difference for rabbits in need.
