Pineland Farms Trail Running Festival/ 3rd Annual Barefoot Runners Society Meetup, May 26th!
By Jason Robillard
The 2012 Pineland Farms Trail Running Festival is shaping up to be the biggest spring barefoot party in the country! Last year’s event was awesome- two days of running, meeting other barefoot runners, eating great food, listening to great music, and drinking awesome beer! It’s one of the few events we attended that immediately became a “must-do” event.
As such, Shelly and I will be there this year. I talked to Erik Boucher, one of the race directors, and he gave me some tantalizing details for this year’s event, including:
- Free beer to all participants and volunteers courtesy Smuttynose Brewing Company on both Saturday and Sunday,
- BBQ served both Saturday and Sunday,
- Seminars about beer making, yoga (think hot ladies in yoga pants), and good running form (last one taught by me, though I probably won’t be wearing yoga pants)
- A ton of race options, from a 5k, barefoot 5k, 5k canicross, 10k, 25k, 50k, and 50 miler. There’s a distance for everyone!
- A video contest, which you can vote for here: VIDEO CONTEST You can also check out the videos to get a feel for last year’s event.
- Saturday events for the kiddies.
- FREE BEER!
