Wauconda Bunny Hop charity run
What better way to spend part of a Saturday in April than with a quick run around Bangs Lake in Wauconda?
Runners from Sharing Time and Resources charities sponsored Saturday's sixth annual Wauconda Bunny Hop.
A timed 4-mile race kicked off at 9 a.m. from the Wauconda Park District on Main Street, with runners circling Bangs Lake. A 2-mile fun run/walk and a Junior Bunny Hop Mini-Dash for kids up to 10 years old was also part of the day.
Participants enjoyed prizes, T-shirts and photo ops.
Proceeds from this year's event benefits Wauconda High School's Future Business Leaders of America and Veterans R&R.
