Jeff Mogavero returns for the third time to the Run Rabbit Run 100 Mile with a view to making progress. After two performances that earned him a third place on each occasion, he arrives at the 2026 edition with the explicit goal of improving his record. The interview presents him in a spirit of anticipation, focused on the 100-mile race and on comparing his results with his past performances.
The news that shapes his mindset is also linked to Western States 100, which he ran earlier in the year. The interview mentions that he talks about it, while fitting it into a broader calendar strategy. The text specifies that he chose an “unconventional race schedule”, in other words a sequence of non-standard races, which he explains as part of this build-up for Run Rabbit Run.
Beyond his scheduling choices and the races he has already completed, Jeff Mogavero makes his relationship to the race a central theme. The passage indicates that he discusses his “love of running”, placing the interview in a personal perspective: what drives him, what he is looking for, and how he views the competition. This dimension appears as a common thread between past performances and his return to the event.
The race weekend also seems prepared in light of possible conditions, with one concrete element highlighted: rainwear. The text notes that he brought “many rain jackets” for the weekend. Presented as a logistical detail, this suggests anticipation of the weather-related uncertainties around the 100-mile race.
