Running to Help Others

Mark your calendars for the 2026 Bunny Hop--April 18 (New Date)

Registration for the 2026 Bunny Hop will open mid-February.

The 8th Arlington Bunny Hop was a huge success!  
Many thanks for participating in the BUNNY HOP 2025!  Increased sponsorships made a huge difference.  638 registered.  After the final accounting, the HOP raised $31,000 for Bridges to Independence making a total of $164,000 for Arlington charities over the past eight years.

Here's a celebratory picture of the check presentation to Bridges and also of a display quilt made from race t-shirts from our races from 2018-2025.  

Results are HERE and here's a VIDEO and PICTURES of our 2025 race.
