Sending me a sign....

We are now less than a month away from the opening of our UES location. Our new sign just went in and we are making tremendous progress with the interior of the store. Soon, it will be filled with cool running, tri and yoga gear!

The Bunny is Coming!

Construction has begun on our new uptown store! This week, a crew of workers began to make the first changes to the store front that will become JackRabbit Sports on Lexington Ave. The workers began by removing the last vestiges of Ricky's and Hippototamus, with crowbars and hammers. Out with the lime green walls and orange hippos and in with the bunny! Here are some pics of the initial demolition.

JackRabbit's New Warehouse!

While it may not be the most glamorous location, our new warehouse is a key part of our operation. Recently, we moved all of our back stock out to this new building, so that we can free up space in the Union Square and Brooklyn locations. A team of dedicated staffers packed up all of the gear and brought it out to Jersey. Check out the pics from moving day!

Kicking off Super Sunday with an Indoor Tri

Super Sunday had a whole new meaning for the 33 athletes who competed at the JackRabbit Indoor Tri on February 1st.

Stephanie Chamberlain rounded out the top three, with an impressive 16 mile performance on the bike.

The race was equally close on the mens' side. Bouker Pool outpaced JackRabbit's own Terry Moore, by just two laps in the pool and .65 miles on the bike, to claim the top spot on the podium. Marc Perez clocked the best bike split of the race, with 20.26 miles, to finish in third place.

The series race will be held on February 22 at the Prospect Park YMCA, in Park Slope Brooklyn. This will be the final qualifying race before the series championships at Asphalt Green on March 15th.
