Coming this July 4th, Mokie
Coming this July 4th, Mokie and I will have had our one year anniversary of BFR meetups/runs. We have yet to formalize anything. All we have done over the past year is meetup to run. I used to set something up in email, but now I arrange group runs on this site through my Chapter's page, use the Broadcast feature, and I still use email . (I keep a spreadsheet of everyone's info as I learn little details about them...sneaky.) Now, we're trying to meetup twice a month.
Now that we (Georgia) have grown quite large (55 members), we have had pretty good turnouts the last few months. We just plan to meet somewhere central to most of the members, then we run. Last time, we set two distances (3 and 5 miles plus a two mile mountain hike) and allowed the members to choose which distance they wanted to run, according to their ability. It worked out well. Afterwards, most of us went to a resturant and had lunch. It was a good day.
When someone steps forward in our group who has the skills to demonstrate good barefoot running form, then we may even hold a clinic say once every quarter or so.
I can imagine later that we will have meetings, plan actual races, have club competitons, maybe even a Christmas party...
