Over 400 hundred runners took part in the 11th annual Caterham Rotary Easter Bunny runs at Queens Park on  Palm Sunday. First home boy and girl to cross the line in the 1k, which is not a race, were Ben Wyatt and Estee Norman

In the 5k race the first man home Alix Ramsier completed the run along with his dog Reggie in  a new record time of 15 mins 40secs . First lady home was LouLou Rowlands in a time of 19mins 49 secs.

Every finisher in the Easter Bunny 1K Fun Run and 5K Race received an Easter egg. There were additional prizes presented to the best dressed who were awarded large chocolate bunnies.

Emily of  B H Fitness www.emilybunnyhop.com lead the warm up again this year and a large group of her class members ran the 5k course raising sponsorship for Kent Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance. She told the 5k runners: “None of you should worry about finishing last because I will make sure I am the one who is last over the finish line!”
