Bunny Run 5k

1st Annual 5k benefiting the Southwestern Child Development Commission in Western North Carolina

Hop into spring and make a meaningful impact at the Bunny Run 5K, a fun and family-friendly race benefiting Southwestern Child Development Commission. This special event supports fundraising efforts for restoration to Southwestern Child Development’s historic building, a treasured landmark located in Webster, North Carolina, and proudly listed on the National Historic Registry.

Our Building was constructed between 1936 and 1938 using river rock gathered locally, reflecting the craftsmanship of the WPA era. Originally serving students from kindergarten through high school, the school was a central part of the community for decades. After school consolidation in the mid-20th century, the building transitioned to serve community needs and is now home to the Southwestern Child Development Commission, continuing its long tradition of supporting education and families. 

By participating in the Bunny Run 5K, you will help preserve this important building so it can continue serving children and families in our community for years to come. The course offers a welcoming atmosphere perfect for competitive runners, casual joggers, families, and anyone who wants to enjoy an active day for a great cause.

Whether you’re racing for a personal best, walking with friends, or cheering from the sidelines, your involvement directly contributes to restoring and protecting a piece of local history while supporting local non-profit.
Mark your calendar for March 28, grab your bunny ears, and join us in Webster for a day of community, movement, and purpose. Every step helps build a stronger future—one hop at a time!
