Norwalk Bunny Hop 5K

Lace up your running shoes and usher in spring with the inaugural Norwalk Bunny Hop 5K on Saturday, March 21, 2026, in scenic Norwalk, CT. This family-friendly 3.1-mile event kicks off a new tradition from the beautiful Calf Pasture Beach, taking runners on a vibrant, certified course through charming coastal neighborhoods. While the route features a few small inclines, runners can look forward to a downhill finish, culminating near Ripka's after circling the softball fields area. Typical race day conditions in late March bring highs around 50°F and lows around 34°F, with a minimal 14% chance of precipitation, offering crisp and pleasant running weather.

Beyond the scenic run, the Norwalk Bunny Hop 5K distinguishes itself with a heartwarming mission: all net proceeds directly benefit the Norwalk Play and Learn Camps, supporting summer day camp activities, exciting trips, entertainment, and scholarships for local children. Participants are highly encouraged to don festive attire, adding to the cheerful atmosphere. A lively finish line party awaits all finishers, complete with a DJ, face painting, food trucks, special gifts for kids, and a brief awards ceremony to celebrate achievements.

This community-focused 5K welcomes runners of all levels to enjoy a fantastic day out while contributing to a worthy cause. Join fellow enthusiasts at Calf Pasture Beach for a memorable race experience that blends fitness, fun, and philanthropic spirit.
