Along with April, Easter is hoppin’ its way into town and this year’s Easter EGGStravaganza and Bunny Love Run is sure to help capture those Easter memories.
The 4th annual hunt sponsored by the Dublin Dairy Queen, Dublin Citizen and CWJC/ Transformation Pathway is partnered with a Bunny Love Run 5K and 1-mile fun run set for Saturday, April 19.
Those interested in the Bunny Love Run need to register by April 1 to guarantee their T-shirts. Entry is $25 for the 5K and the race will begin and end at the City Park. The fun run is free and no t-shirts are offered for this portion of the event. To register online for the 5K go to racedayeventservices. com or call CWJC at 254-4452228.
This is a timed race with multiple awards for age divisions. The race will begin at 8 a.m. and end in time for the annual hunt, which kicks off at 9:30 a.m. in the City Park.
For those interested in the egg hunts, there will be an age divided hunt with 16,000 eggs, hot dogs, drinks, photos with the Easter Bunny and more. The entire event is free and the event will be from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. with all hunts starting at 9:30 a.m.
