This event is hosted by Adrenaline Special Events (ASE), a Chicago-area based event management company that specializes in themed events around the country.

Participants of the 10K and 5K will receive egg-citing swag – including bunny ears, a choice of a dri-fit long sleeve or short sleeve t-shirt, race bib and finishers medal, all included with registration. The Kids Egg Dash will have more than 5,000 candy filled eggs for children ages 2-10 to hunt for, and bunny ears, neon sunglasses, and easter baskets for their egg collection are included with registration!

“What better way to celebrate the coming of spring than getting together with family or friends – or both – for Bunny Rock Chicago,” said ASE Founder Aaron Del Mar. “Create lasting memories with your loved ones, and help to support our nonprofit partner, Red Door Animal Shelter.”
Red Door Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter whose primary focus is on the rescue, shelter and adoption of rabbits, cats and dogs – which happen to be the three most popular pets in the United States.
