Join in the fun for this great international event!
On 1 May 2011, barefoot runners will hit the roads the world over in a collective display of natural running. These will be fun runs of 1km, 5km or maybe 10 Km.
Proudly sponsored by the Barefoot Runners Society, the event is truly international, with over a dozen countries represented (at current count). We expect as many as several thousand runners worldwide. We will also be reaching out to other barefoot and running organizations, as well as inviting the press.
Our goal: a “critical mass” event to create awareness for BFR and to show the world just how much fun it can be.
Mark your Calendar!
Start time: All Day! As organized by the local chapters (see FAQ, below)
Locations: Everywhere! As organized by local chapters. (See barefootrunners.org/ibrd).
Distances: fun runs of 1km and 5km. Some locations my do other distances as well.
We will also be running a t-shirt contest for the event and then selling the t-shirts via the BRS website. (See the sticky topic for more information)
