hier Gwendal (de Rennes, du groupe facebook A la découverte de la foulée naturelle) a organisé la traversée de la baie en courant,
on était une trentaine, de tous âges, avec un guide local.
17 km sur des sables variés et faciles, ce qui rend l'expérience accessible aux novices (les mollets vont quand même chauffer un peu j'imagine).
Météo magique !

Hi everyone,
yesterday Gwendal (from Rennes, from the facebook group Discovering the natural stride) organized the crossing of the bay by running,

As some of you may know, I'm doing the Principal 5K as part of the Des Moines IMT Marathon. Since it's going to be pretty cool the morning of the 5K, I'm going to put my insulated Vibram FiveFingers to good use since I don't want my toes to freeze.

Byrd said part of the inspiration to walk barefoot came from a hike in Quebec earlier this summer, when he forgot to bring his hiking boots and decided to hike...
Barefoot Dutchman's World Record Walk Arrives In Nambucca Valley By News Of The Area
T’s been a simple matter of putting one foot in front of the other.
It’s just that Dutchman Anton Nootenboom has been putting one bare foot in front of the next all the way from Cairns.
He left Cairns on foot in May, and in the next few days he will reach the Nambucca Valley, on his way to Sydney in a world record barefoot trek.
Anton has already beaten the world record for a barefoot walk when he passed through the Gold Coast but the full trip from Cairns to Sydney will set a record that will be very hard to beat for anyone brave enough to follow in his footsteps.
With feet worn down by concrete like sandpaper and bruised by stones, this epic journey is no race, rather a slow and steady effort that sees Anton walking with no set stops other than the final destination, his adopted hometown of Sydney, 2,600 km’s from...
