I'm running a 5K this weekend, which will be my first since taking up barefoot running. I ran this one last year, and the last 1/4 mile or so is dirt and gravel. I'm trying to decide if I should wear anything or not. I'm perfectly comfortable running barefoot on the asphalt that most of the race is, but not so confident about the gravel, especially since it is at the end. The options I am considering are:
Wear my Run Amoc's for the whole race.
Carry my Run Amoc's and slip them on before the gravel.
Try out my homemade Huraches (so far i've only run 1/4 mile total on them).
Just go for it barefoot the whole way.
Any suggestions?
