rabbit seems pretty cool, right?! Well, we think so. And its all based upon a simple vision - made for runners by runners. Curious to know a little more about those two dreamers? Read on...

Monica, or MoD as some of her friends call her, is an expert in the running industry. Monica has the unique experience of being a runner, a consumer, a specialty running store owner, and a brand builder. She has over 20 years of experience in the industry, including holding various positions in brand management, product management, sales and marketing at adidas and Deckers Outdoor Corp. In addition to running rabbit, Monica helps her husband Joe run the local running shop and she tries to keep up with her two little boys. And Monica is very involved in her local community.  She helps run the local youth running club, puts on various community "fun runs" and is one of the pillars of the local running community. But, wait, there's more.  Monica is a lifelong runner who was talented from the beginning.  She was the Oklahoma State Champion in the 1 mile. Twice! And she has a 2:57 marathon PR. Monica now spends her time on the trails as an Ultra Runner racing ultra distances and taking her passion for running to the dirt.  

Jill likes to go fast. She likes to run fast, talk fast, and she even thinks fast. Just like Monica, Jill is a lifelong runner. She was a high school track and field athlete, and valedictorian of her class, we might add. Jill went on to run Division I Cross Country in undergrad before turning her attention to law school where she graduated Order of the Coif from McGeorge School of Law. As an active attorney, Jill brings her legal skills and knowledge to rabbit. Jill is also actively involved with the local community and in her spare time she coaches athletes from the weekend warrior to the Olympic hopeful, and she has also been invited to be the feature speaker for various youth organizations. Jill is also a mother of two, a son and a daughter, with her husband Gene. And Jill's running resume is just as impressive! She has a marathon PR of 2:48 and a half marathon PR of 1:20. She has dabbled in multi-sport events and in 2015 was the Duathlon Long Course Age-Group National Champion. And in 2017, she was the overall female winner in both the Carlsbad Marathon and the Mountains to Beach Marathon! From the 1500m to the marathon, look for Jill at the front of the pack.
