    Winter Challenge - Links and Rules

    Many, many thanks, Christian! This challenge has always helped keep me motivated to stay barefoot on my cold runs. I have entered my runs up to this point on the spreadsheet. I really appreciate your work to keep it going.

    Winter Challenge - Links and Rules

    Thanks Christian! I'm certainly glad to see this is going again this winter. It does help keep me motivated to get out in the cold and run. I think I have all of my back-data entered and will continue entering my runs as they happen.

    Questions for Winter Challenge

    Greetings. I haven't checked in here in a while, although I think I have the current spreadsheet up to date. Have the snowflakes from past years all been awarded yet? It looks like the only ones I have are the ones I added myself (and will remove once I receive the official ones). Just...

    Need help with past Winter Challenge

    Hi Dana, I filled in my participation on the spreadsheet based on how the competitions were titled in years past. Previously, they were identified by the year the competition began, thus the competition last year that ran from Oct 2015 through March 2016 was called Winter Challenge 2015...

    Anyone going Barefoot for Halloween?

    While not scary, I have done a few races, including a half-marathon, as a caveman (see my profile image). I also have a pirate costume and a friar's habit that I have not yet run in (while the Franciscans and Capuchins now wear at least sandals and usually shoes, orginally they went totally...

    Questions for Winter Challenge

    Thanks TJ. Maybe Yow did somehow distribute the snowflakes individually, but if so, I was missed the first year I partcipated (maybe because the name I used in the spreadsheet was slightly different than my user name here - Mark S. vs. Mark). I somehow found the link to the image on his...

    Questions for Winter Challenge

    Hi Dana, As I recall two years ago, the snowflakes were "distributed" on the honor system. Barefoot Yow designed the image and provided a link to it and it was up to each participant to add it to their own signature line. Yvonne has already modified Yow's snowflake for last year and provided...

    Winter Challenge Coordinator Needed

    Thanks. Yes, that is me shortly before the beginning of the Halloween half-marathon I ran last year. I was disappointed with my time and I was hoping to give it another try this year (the race is next Saturday) but I have a conflict :(

    7th Annual Winter Challenge

    Excellent! Many, many thanks! (I may not be saying thank you when I force myself out on a run in the snow to log some barefoot snow miles :wacky:)

    Winter Challenge Coordinator Needed

    Thanks everyone! I agree that this challenge has been great to keep me running barefoot throughout the winter. I can't say that my mileage doesn't decrease, but it decreased even during the winters when I donned footwear (I really hate cold weather). At least the miles I got in the last two...

    Toes on Roads Competition

    I want to begin by thanking everyone involved with organizing these challenges. They have definitely kept me more motivated over the past several months, particularly this past winter when I went on cold runs in my bare feet that in past years I would have done in shoes. I do understand the...

    5th Annual Winter Challenge

    I managed to hit two personal records today! I have never been a fan of cold weather and my running has dropped off severely during the past winters - not just because it is too cold for my feet, but because I hate being out in the cold, period. The coldest barefoot run I had ever attempted...
