I ran the Broad Street Run in Philly for IBRD. They advertise it as the countries largest 10 mile race and is sold out every year and capped at 40,000 runners. I finished in 1:14;14 @7:25 avg all barefoot. I didn't see any other barefooters but I had a friend start barefoot and put his Vff's on at some point during the race. I wore my BRS shirt. If I figure out how I will post a pic. Conditions were great for the first 4 miles then it was a little rough the last 6 but would have been fine if I were smart enough to slow down. Overall I would call it Barefoot Friendly.
 
Congrats! how are your feet feeling today?
 
Felt real good afterward Dama but a little run down probably shouldn't have tried to run it fast a week after a 50k. No pain at all just overly tired.

Sounds like a rest day or two will make you feel good.

Nice time on tbe Broad street run. One year I will run that race.

When i ran philly marathon last year, there was 1 guy who ran tbe half bare. He might have been at broad street and you did not see him. There were sevral vff and newton runners running both the half and ful. did you notice many at broad street?
 
Saw a lot of minimalist runners and jswan2011 ran bare then put on the Vff's for the finishing kick. I'm doing the Dirty German 50 miler in Pennypack Park in Philly Memorial Day weekend where I hope to do most barefoot otherwise in Luna's. I'm doing the Atlantic City and Marine Corps Marathons this fall and will probably run the Philly Marathon Barefoot as well. Maybe we'll cross paths.
 
There's about 10 of us from my running club The Pineland Striders doing AC this year. I will be barefoot of course and jswan2011 usually runs some barefoot and some in Vff's. Some of the others are minimalist. Hopefully I'll see you there.
