Thanks Autotek, I sent them an email asking them as they have not updated there website since 08/04

AutoTek · January 27, 2005, 04:50:24 PM

Yea they are slow when it comes to updating the web sight ..
generally the dates are the same from year to year..the rabbitrun is the same set up as the pumkinrun ....hang around all day then its a poker style run around 9pm at night..about
20 miles long with a timed run starting first..its fun but the run is lot of stop and go do the fact the turn out is around 900 atv or so

We attended the pumpkin run last year. Plan on going to the rabbit run this year.

As far as I know, they are no longer doing the timed run and it is all fun runs. At least thats how it was last year. The run starts around 7. There were over a thousand people at the Pumpkin Run, but not as many show up for the Rabbit Run because this is only the 3rd year of that. I believe it is April 20-something, it was last year. They are reallys low about updating the website, try looking again mid-Feb.

Also, they may be doing the same sign-up procedure as they did the last Pumpkin Run. Due to so many people attending it is now invite only and prepay only. If you have attended previous rides, you'll get your form in the mail. Otherwise... not sure what to tell you. But it may be different because the Rabbit Run is so much smaller.

Well last year a good friend of mine went to the rabbit run and he said that they ended up leaving because of all the dust. I guess its no fun for 4x4

There was plenty of places for Mud or sport drags. It was a little dusty but fun altogether. If you trail ride in florida Its probably gonna be dusty anyways. Had a good time and we own 4X4s

SkyHighT100 · January 31, 2005, 08:18:43 AM

Usually it is really muddy. One of the times I had gone they made us all leave at the half way point because the last half had over 500 bikes stuck!! But last year's Rabbit Run defiantely stunk. My friends and I were the very first ones on the trail and even then it was dusty to the point you couldnt see, I cant imagine how bad it must have been for everyone else.

RnkOutlaw · January 31, 2005, 08:56:30 AM

Yeah well the pumkin run and rabbit run are the same place as far as I know, I had a great time at the pumkin run last year but that was because there was alot of water and mud.
But i dont like to ride dirt trails or play with dust. I bought a 4x4 to play in mud

SkyHighT100 · January 31, 2005, 09:53:52 AM

Yes, they are both held at the same location, they just change the trails every now and then. It all depends on the weather if its going to be "muddy" (not all of it is mud)... or dusty.

RnkOutlaw · January 31, 2005, 12:37:08 PM

Yea I would like to go but do they have the same things set up, like the food guys and do they have the mud pits set up

yunt2ride · January 31, 2005, 12:51:53 PM

Its ALWAYS dusty. Sometimes its harder to figure out whats dustier the trail or the parking/camping area. My red truck comes back tan every year.

As far as utility/4x4 bikes, there are easily 3 times as many of them as sport quads. The trails are usually slow due to those bike getting stuck in the trails.

Since a lot of the trails are only 4-5 ft wide it can slow down quite often. If you gstart toward the end it can actually get quicker since people end up "blazing" new trails around congested areas. However, I did have friends get back from the Pumpkin Run last year around 3AM. and they skipped half the trails.

It is a blast, tons of fun you just have to bring lots of patience along with you.

RnkOutlaw · January 31, 2005, 01:48:31 PM

Thats what we started to do last year was make our own trails. But people were looking at us like we were crazy.

ucfneed2ride · February 01, 2005, 05:29:22 AM

yeah we ended up cuttin our own trails as well...i did not have my patience with me. So, you cant go unless you get something in the mail? I went to the Pumpkin Run so does that mean i should be gettin something?

RnkOutlaw · February 01, 2005, 06:17:05 AM

I dont think you get anything in the mail, But I loved the pumkin run, but I could have sat in traffic in Miami, Now I know why people just went for the day and then left. I had more fun playing in the mud holes.

BCConviber · February 01, 2005, 06:21:00 AM

UCF- You should get something since you gave them your address when you registered at the pumpkin run. I'll keep you posted if I get something in the mail. Doubt I'll make the rabbit run, but I am definately going on the pumpkin run again.

BCC what you got another wedding to go to?

If the rabbit run falls on the same weekend as MS&G then ill be heading to that instead most likely. The traffic on the pumpkin run was just a little too ridiculous to me.

Truegrit · February 01, 2005, 08:25:15 AM

You will get the entry form in the mail about a month before the event. Its the same one you download off the site.

yunt2ride · February 01, 2005, 08:41:06 AM

I'm waiting for mine, just wondering, I went to the Pumpkin Run last time but now I have a couple more people that want to come with me. Does anyone know if they are going to be letting you bring someone if you get the invitation. Which I will.

fl750mudder · February 01, 2005, 04:35:26 PM

The Pumkin Run is a blast! There seems to be quite a bit of mud and water ever time I have been. The Rabbit run does seem to be alot more dusty. The Pumkin Run this past time was kind of ridiculous because there were alot of people getting stuck and it caused large back ups. I think they should allow the 4x4 quads to go first that way we do not get held up. Alot of people started making their own trails. This is not a good practice because this is private land that we are on and if we destroy the property the owner may decide that he does not want us there anymore. My wife was hit in the head by a tree when someone decided to make his own trail. They were knocking down small trees. I guees they do not care about their quads either. I am sure I have ruffled somebodies feathers but I would like to see this event continue.

RnkOutlaw · February 01, 2005, 05:11:20 PM

Yea your right you do get something in the mail, but since last year was the first year I went I did not recieve a letter. But as soon as they have you in there records they send you something every year.
