We are so extremely excited to announce that Justin Grunewald justingrunewald1 has officially joined the rabbitPRO squad!! 

The former University of Minnesota athlete first established his presence in ultrarunning with wins at the 2018 Afton Trail 50k in 2018 and The NorthFace Endurance Challenge Wisconsin 50 Mile in 2019. He continued his success in 2020 with an eighth-place finish at the Bandera 100k and second at the Way Too Cool 50k.
 
Justin is perhaps best known for his perseverance in the face of adversity following the untimely passing of his wife, Gabriele Grunewald, a professional track athlete who endured an arduous battle with a rare form of cancer. Despite this tragic loss, Justin, a doctor, displayed selfless compassion with Gabe and still does in her memory, his professional life, and with his new family. His story is hypertrophic. Love, work, athletics, loss, love, all compacted into a short 33 years. It isn’t the elements of his story, rather, it’s how he’s thrived living a lifetime of experiences that magnifies Justin’s values.
 
Justin is now a new father after he and his partner and fellow rabbitPRO, Amanda Basham amanda_basham welcomed their daughter, Rylan, into the world earlier this year. Through the unexpected ups and downs Justin has remained focused on the moment, managed it, and thrived.
 
Justin will don the rabbit singlet for the first time this Saturday at the Black Canyon 100k in Arizona. Justin’s late wife Gabriele founded The Brave Like Gabe Foundation which he has created a fundraiser for around Black Canyon 100k. All donations will go to funding rare cancer research. Donate at the link in bio.
 
Good luck this weekend Justin and welcome to the rabbit family! 🐰
