FAQs

What is the House Rabbit Resource Network?
The House Rabbit Resource Network is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the lives of domestic rabbits by:
  • Educating people about caring for companion rabbits as house pets
  • Facilitating rabbit rescues and adoptions
  • Promoting rabbit advocacy and welfare

We are also a network of house-rabbit enthusiasts in Austin, Texas who help each other with information, support, outreach and camaraderie. “Your friends may tire of your endless rabbit tales, but we won’t!”

We advocate:

  • Responsible rabbit caretaking. Rabbits are intelligent, social companion animals that require mental stimulation, exercise and social interaction.
  • Housing rabbits indoors.
  • Spaying and neutering to promote a long, healthy and happy life for your rabbit. In addition, altering helps reduce overpopulation and the needless suffering and many deaths that result from too few homes.

We find rabbits to be rewarding, engaging companions. We want others to share the joys and avoid the common pitfalls of sharing life with a house rabbit.

What is the trail distance?
The distance around the lake is about 2.7 miles. You are welcome to run, walk, or jog the trail.

Are all ages welcome?
Yes, anyone can join this fun run however, the entry fee for participants ages 13+ is $30 ($40 starting 2/1/18). Strollers are allowed on the lake trails.

Packets and tee shirts can be picked up on Thursday, Mar 22 from 4:30pm-7:00pm at Work It Personal Training at 7101 Easy Wind Dr. #3118 Austin, TX 78752 (located in courtyard across from the lightrail stop) or on Friday, March 23 from 4:30pm-7:00pm at the House Rabbit Resource Network Event Center located at 110 West Pflugerville Parkway, Pflugerville, TX 78660. You can also pickup your packets and tee shirts the day of the run at Lake Pflugerville starting at 7:00am; however we encourage everyone to try to get their packets on Thursday or Friday to minimize the time spent in line.

There will be many parking spots at the Lake Pflugerville entry as well as ample parking around the lake. There will be restroom facilities onsite. Water stops will be located along the run route.

Are pets allowed?
We love all pets! However, due to potential crowds and other circumstances we ask that your furry family members please be left safely at home. We would not want them to be in any danger. We can not take responsibility for any animal-related incidences at the event site.

Will you have rabbits at the run location?
We will not have any of the shelter rabbits at the run. However, you can ask any run volunteer for information on adopting, volunteering, donating, or any other related questions and we can direct you to the right resource.
