Ruby Muir won the Women's 100k Tarawera Ultra, coming in 7th overall. So, yeah, she run the whole 100km in VFFs, but they were the SeeYa model. She trains and races (some) fully barefoot.

[Antonio Madriñán]

Rubi is an exceptional athlete, not only to complete the 100 km being the first woman, but it was 7th overall.

 

[Barefoot Dama]

WOW! So envious.

If you've got 16 minutes to spare this is well worth the time.
