Barefoot/FiveFingers would be an extra division (no age groupings) with a special prize (and those folks still compete in the regular age groups). It might be a couple of random prizes for those people or based on finish time.Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-68695920359599807322009-10-30T10:04:31.127-05:002009-10-30T10:04:31.127-05:00I might be doing the race barefoot.

I hope to move to only barefoot and FiveFinger shoes, but I'll have the NB 100s for colder days and rockier courses. I can see using all three in a single trail ultra race! I usually rotate pairs of shoes in a longer ultra anyway, why not have a bit of pure barefoot mixed in with the Five Fingers and a racing flat?Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-51999279856960640682009-10-09T12:22:56.873-05:002009-10-09T12:22:56.873-05:00I'm not a barefoot runner...But I definitely s...I'm not a barefoot runner...But I definitely support the creation of a barefoot runner class!!
