Race Recap By Josh Keane:
Happy Easter Team ER! We had a lot of fun at the 2025 Bunny Run 5K yesterday. This was a flat, fast 5K benefitting the Tuscarawas County Public Library System. This was a small race and the course could have been marked better but was a great run in New Philadelphia. I ran pretty well in spite of my recent struggles with my right leg. I ended up being 11th out of 73 and 5th male out of 23. We Will definitely run this one again.
Race Recap By Lisa Keane:
The Bunny Run 5K is a small local 5K to support the library and its summer reading program!
This race has no online registration so you can go to the main library to register in person ahead of time or come early for same day sign up.
Ample, free parking at the library giving runners access to indoor staging / restrooms.
Gun start- chip finish on a flat, fast road course.
There were some volunteers along the route however it was not marked and a little confusing at times. I’m still not sure if I ran the correct route but the distance was about right.
One water station on course and water / granola snacks at the finish
I love the Easter themed soft cotton short sleeve tees. No finisher medals but I have enough and am happy to have more $$$ go to the library!
Overall awards for top 3 male / female and they had children / adult categories instead of age group awards.
Rumor has it that this is an annual spring event with a different theme each year. I will definitely sign up again for a great cause!
Race Recap By Kelli Tomblin:
The Bunny Run 5k in New Philadelphia was a nice race. You receive a t-shirt at registration. Medals are awarded for overall winners only. Plenty of bottled water & a variety of granola bars. Good signs to know where to go & people at corners cheering you on and telling you where to turn. Small but fun race.
