🏠 About the House Rabbit Network

• Mission: 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.
• Foster Care: Providing foster care for discarded domestic rabbits and arranging for adoption to permanent, indoor homes.
• Public Assistance: Assisting humane societies and shelters with rabbits.
• Veterinary Care: Providing spay/neuter surgery and veterinary care through arrangements with area practitioners.

🎉 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!

🐶 Animal Policy

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. Craft Food Hall also allows dogs to be on premise, but ONLY in the patio seating area.
