Rabbit Run Wales: Family and Junior Races

​Saturday 4th September 2021
​Family Bunny Run and Double Bunny Run at 3:30pm
Toddler Dash at 3:55pm

This year, due to covid, and to simplify the organisation and running of the event, we have decided to leave the event infrastructure in place and have a dedicated junior morning with the opportunity for parents/family to run alongside in the family Fun Run - so we are not leaving all the fun to the serious adults.

So for the younger generations we have junior runs available depending on their age.

These races can be entered in advance, Entry may be available on the day, if race limits are not achieved.

Heading over the road from the front of Merthyr Mawr House and around the fields in next to the river.
