Jamestown  (CSi)  The SAFE Shelter Rabbit Run and the Bunny Hop returns this year to be held Saturday June 19, 2021 at the UJ campus at Harold Newman Arena.

Proceeds from the event benefits Mary’s Place at SAFE Shelter.

On Thursday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, SAFE Shelter Dirctor, Lynne Tally said, the event this year is moved to June from the tradition April date each year to allow more people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Also to accommodate everyone’s comfort level, the runner and walker can participate either in person or virtually.

There will be a 5K Rabbit Run/Walk for the more serious runners and walkers.  The family fun 3K Bunny Hop Run/Walk will wind through the UJ campus and will include treats for the kids.  Both routes will start and end at  Harold Newman Arena.  Costumes are encouraged for the family fun event.

Check in begins at 8:15-a.m., and the run will start at 9-a.m. sharp.

Registration is $25 for adults, and $5 for children under 12.  Registration for adults includes a tee shirt with this year’s logo.  Children’s registration includes a medal with this year’s logo.
