We love the staff at both JackRabbit's shops, where you'll find a great assortment of athletic gear–swimsuits, running shoes, bike shorts, and yoga mats are all available. The knowledgeable employees are happy to help, and aim to ensure that whatever you leave with fits just right. They'll work with you to determine what you need–think narrow sneakers, spandex shorts with pockets, etc–and then bring out a venerable cornucopia of options.
