Hi Kansas, I just learned the details of this event. Metalman, will you be making it a Barefoot Runners Society Chapter event again this year? Thanks, TJ
Hey TJ, I did not make this an event this year. For 1, I didn't know about it. I know they have it every year, but it completely slipped my mind and I have been busy over the holidays and just saw your email (which was in my clutter of un-gotten to emails).
