🐇 About the House Rabbit Network

The House Rabbit Network is a 501c3 organization in the greater Boston area formed in 2000 with two primary purposes: to rescue homeless rabbits and find them good indoor homes, and to educate the public about rabbits and their care. These activities may include:

• Foster Care: Providing foster care for discarded domestic rabbits and arranging for adoption to permanent, indoor homes.
• Assistance: Assisting humane societies and shelters with rabbits.
• Healthcare: Providing spay/neuter surgery and veterinary care through arrangements with area practitioners.
• Rehabilitation: Rehabilitating and socializing mistreated or neglected rabbits.

🎉 Pre and Post Race Festivities Hosted by Craft Food Halls!

ONE FREE DRINK SPONSORED BY CFH INCLUDED IN EACH REGISTRATION!

A GREAT VENUE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY TO ENJOY A BEAUTIFUL FALL SATURDAY!

🐾 Attention Participants

We LOVE all animals and well-mannered dogs (on leash at all times) are welcomed to participate in the race, but they must start in the back behind the runners. The same goes for those running/walking with baby strollers as well. Craft Food Hall also allows dogs to be on premise, but ONLY in the patio seating area.
