Why did bunnies evolve to hop?

What sort of selection pressure decides that jumping is good for species survival while running isn’t? Isn’t quadruped running just all around more energy efficient?

Rabbits are fast A/F, can easily jump over obstacles, and when threatened by a predator, their powerfull legs help them clear the area of attack, and if caught beat themselves free.

If we consider their predators, their environment, and what they ear, hopping is a very awesome survival technique
