GREETINGS, BUNNIES!

Bunnies, much like humans, can experience a profound awareness when they begin to run. At first, running is simply a natural act—an instinctual burst of energy or a necessity to escape danger. But as they explore their physical limits and discover the rhythm of their stride, running transitions from mere movement to a powerful journey of self-discovery.

This awakening brings a new perspective on life. Through running, bunnies encounter resilience they didn’t know they had and find peace in the steady cadence of their paws hitting the ground. The journey transforms not just their bodies but their minds, offering clarity and confidence as they learn to push beyond previous boundaries.

Ultimately, the awareness of running teaches an invaluable lesson: progress comes with persistence, and every run is a step toward a stronger, more aware self. This transformation exemplifies how embracing running can change one’s life, fostering growth, patience, and a deeper connection to the world around them.

FAQs

We understand enough about our fragile human brains to know that we probably have questions about the sudden appearance of a race of technologically superior hare-beings on our pavement doorstep. Our Hare Affairs Officer has prepared some answers below.

  • Texas pavement offers firm, smooth surfaces with great traction and stability, ideal for all runners. Designed to endure varied weather, it ensures consistent training year-round. Though summer heat can be intense, shaded routes and morning runs help. Overall, it supports efficient, low-impact workouts for durability and performance.

  • YES!!! Please trust us!!! PLEASE!

    Bunnies are friendly and can bond with others, if gently handled and socialized. They show affection by nudging, giving kudos, and staying close. Friendliness varies by personality, breed, and experience. A safe environment and regular interaction build trust.

  • Rabbits all breathe using their lungs, and the basic process of breathing is the same across all rabbit species. They inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide through their respiratory system, which includes the nose, trachea, and lungs.

    However, the rate of breathing can vary depending on factors such as age, size, activity level, and health. For example, a smaller or younger rabbit may have a faster breathing rate than a larger or older one. Additionally, environmental conditions like temperature and stress can also influence how rabbits breathe. Despite these variations, the fundamental mechanism of respiration remains consistent among all rabbits.

  • Rabbits often reuse the same narrow trails, called "runs," within their maps. Trail use changes with seasons and conditions. For runners and outdoor enthusiasts, knowing this can aid wildlife spotting and support preserving natural habitats.

  • Humans and rabbits share a significant portion of their DNA, with rabbits having about 80-90% genetic similarity to humans overall. When it comes to running, both species have genes related to muscle function, energy metabolism, and cardiovascular performance that show notable parallels. However, specific gene expressions and adaptations differ, reflecting rabbits' natural abilities for quick bursts of speed and agility compared to humans’ endurance-oriented running capabilities. This genetic comparison helps researchers understand different adaptations for locomotion across species.

  • Rabbits run instinctively to escape predators and find shelter. Their strong hind legs enable fast, agile movement. Running also keeps them healthy by maintaining muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness. In domestic settings, running helps rabbits explore and express natural behavior. It is vital for their survival and well-being.

  • From afar, we are not able to figure out the rules, but we do enjoy watching the crowds react to the players running around.

    Rabbits have existed for millions of years, with their evolutionary history tracing back to the Eocene epoch, roughly 40 to 50 million years ago. They belong to the family Leporidae, which includes hares and rabbits, and have adapted over time to diverse environments around the world. Fossil evidence shows that modern rabbits and their ancestors have been a part of Earth's ecosystems for tens of millions of years

    Our understanding of time is very different from yours. Let’s just say roughly about a hundred times longer than your civilization has existed.

    Fossil evidence shows that modern rabbits and their ancestors have been a part of Earth's ecosystems for tens of millions of years, showcasing their resilience and adaptability.

  • Hare’s do not have an official spoken language like humans or fictional species. Instead, they communicate through a combination of body language, vocalizations, and scents. Common signals include thumping their hind legs to warn of danger, twitching their noses to convey curiosity or alertness, and using various sounds like soft grunts, snorts, or squeals in different contexts.

  • Friends! We want to share new experiences, our deepest darkest secrets and funny running memes.

  • They’re both so cute!!

    Rabbits can develop friendly relationships with both cats and dogs, depending on their individual personalities and proper introductions. While rabbits are naturally cautious, many enjoy the companionship of calm, gentle pets. When introduced carefully and supervised, these cross-species friendships can provide comfort and enrichment for rabbits, cats, and dogs alike.

  • We understand not all humans have the time or access to travel, but honestly, every inch of your planet has something to brag about!

  • We likely see ourselves as swift and sleek creatures, embodying agility and alertness. In their minds, they probably picture a soft, fluffy form with bright eyes and twitching noses, perfectly adapted for quick escapes and quiet moments in the sun. Our self-image could be a blend of elegance and cautiousness, proud of their powerful legs and keen senses that keep them safe in a world full of challenges.

  • Obviously, we have names! Ask us and we'll tell you. Just like meeting a new human friend. But we are all LoneRunners!!!

  • Please don’t scream or run away! No one likes being greeted that way. Just say “howdy,” or however else you’d greet a normal human friend.

  • Not humans, if that’s what you’re wondering.

    We maintain a healthy diet while still enjoying life.

  • A rabbit hole is an underground burrow used by wild rabbits for shelter and nesting, often found in fields, grasslands, or woodland edges. To visit safely, observe from a distance without touching or entering the burrow. Respect local wildlife rules and use binoculars or a zoom camera to watch without disturbing the rabbits. Treat rabbit holes as natural habitats, not tourist sites, to protect the animals.

    BUT this webpage is totally fine for Free Roam Range!

  • Yes we do - other than running of course.

    Rabbits with hobbies bring a charming twist to their natural curiosity and energy. Whether they’re nibbling on miniature gardening tools, rearranging their play spaces, or participating in gentle agility courses, these bunnies showcase unique personalities beyond typical rabbit behavior. Their hobbies not only keep them mentally stimulated but also strengthen the bond they share with their caretakers, making every day a little more engaging and fun.

  • It has taken hundreds of years to get your attention! Now that we have it, we want to make our efforts worthwhile. So, we’ll be around awhile.

  • Rabbits do not have goals in the way humans understand them. Their behavior is primarily driven by instinct and immediate needs such as finding food, shelter, and avoiding predators. While rabbits can learn and adapt to certain situations, their actions are aimed at survival rather than pursuing long-term objectives or ambitions.

    But luckily for us LoneRunners we have goals that pursue us in the same way. Our Running goals are personally tailored to fit our unique journeys.
