I talked to the Merrell people today (re: Mud Run barefoot rule)

[jschwab]

I spoke with the reps at the Broad Street Run expo and they listened nicely. They asked if I was the one who "wrote the email" . I said no, but I was the PA Chapter Prez (they remembered the BRS from the email). Anyway, the message is getting through but they say Merrell insists on the division name. I reminded them that the Warrior Dash allows barefoot and has no less a rough terrain than Merrell.

This thread, Stomper: http://barefootrunners.org/forum-topic/merrell-mud-run-series-barefoot-division I am the one who wrote to them/her, and although I have received a response, which was basically barefoot runners couldn't handle the course, I will be writing to them again in a week and escalating if I have to. Let's keep the communication about this in the other thread and not post here to keep from duplicating.
