Just over five weeks until International Barefoot Running Day!
Organized by the Barefoot Runner's Society, "International Barefoot
Running Day is a grassroots, inclusive effort to promote barefoot
running as a healthy and viable way to run. It’s also about having fun
and delighting in the idea of running barefoot with thousands of
people worldwide on the same day."
I've had a couple of people say they'll join me on Sunday May 6th to
participate in IBRD.
I would like to get as many as I can!
Here's what I have planned:
•WHEN: May 6, 2012 9:00 AM
•WHERE: Presque Isle; Stull Nature Center (near Beach 1)
•HOW FAR: Fun runs of 1-mile and 5km
•WHY:
◦To bring awareness to barefoot and minimalist running
◦To show support for this sport we love
◦To have loads of fun in a worldwide moment of barefoot solidarity
Runners in minimalist footwear (Vibram Five-Fingers, etc) are welcome,
as well as those in normal running shoes willing to at least TRY SOME
AMOUNT of barefoot running.
This is strictly a non-competitive, non-timed event.
I will provide water and snacks afterwards.
The main idea is to have fun!

Thanks Tom! I attended your barefoot run clinic at Asbury last May. Throughout the summer I incorporated one day of barefoot running into my weekly training for my first marathon at Presque Isle in September. I think the barefoot running was a key component to having an exceptionally wonderful 1st marathon experience. I'm looking forward to participating in the run on May 6th for the IBRD.
Thanks,
Mike Lawrence
