Saint Catherine’s Bunny Run 2027
Hop, skip and jump your way to making a difference!
March 1, 2027 @ 00:00 – March 31, 2027 @ 23:59
Get your school, nursery or academy together for a sponsored challenge like no other! The Saint Catherine’s Bunny Run is a fun and flexible fundraising event that encourages children to get active while raising vital funds to support our patients and families.
Taking part couldn’t be easier. Simply choose a date during March 2027, decide on a route around your playground, sports field or local community, and let your little bunnies run, walk, jog or hop their way to making a real difference.
Pupils can hop, skip, walk or run — it’s completely up to you! Schools are encouraged to get creative, whether that’s setting up a simple route, adding obstacles, or turning it into a whole-school celebration.
The focus is on fun, participation and teamwork, making it suitable for all ages and abilities.
Why Take Part?
The Bunny Run is about much more than fundraising. Every hop helps Saint Catherine’s continue providing expert care, emotional support and wellbeing services to patients and their families.
By taking part, you’ll:
- Encourage children to get active.
- Bring your school community together.
- Help pupils learn about kindness, compassion and helping others.
