Cottontail Dash is an untimed half mile fun run with an egg hunt along the route. All participants receive a finisher's medal and a shirt. You are welcome to bring your own bag/basket or one will be provided for you. Eggs are handed out by volunteers so that everyone will come away with equal amount of eggs.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of this event and to protect our littlest Cottontail participants we will be splitting the dash into 2 waves. Ages 6 and under and ages 7 and older. Parents who would like their children to run together please choose one of the waves to participate in.
