House Rabbit Network 5000
House Rabbit Network 5000 is a fundraising running event in Boxboro, Massachusetts. All race proceeds are directed to the House Rabbit Network, a 501c3 organization that rescues and rehomes domestic rabbits and provides public education and veterinary support.
The event takes place at Craft Food Hall Boxborough, 500 Beaver Brooke Lane, and offers on-site parking in Craft Food Hall parking areas. Pre and post race activities are hosted at the venue. Dogs that are well mannered and on leash are allowed to participate but must be positioned behind runners at the start; strollers must follow the same positioning. Craft Food Hall allows dogs only in the patio seating area.
Event distances
- 5K Run/Walk (chip timed, live mile splits)
- 1K Family Bunny Hop Fun Run for ages 12&U
Registration opens April 5 and uses tiered pricing, starting with an early entry fee of $25 and increasing in later registration periods. Each 5K entry includes one free drink sponsored by Wachusett Brewing. Early packet pickup is available at Marathon Sports Westford the day before the event.
Chip timing and results are provided by New England Timing with live tracking, mile-by-mile splits, and instant email result notifications. The 5K is scored in age brackets and offers top overall awards. Team competition includes a $5 discount or refund per team member for teams with six or more runners.
