The Germany/Austria/Marburg Barefoot Running Group

The Germany/Austria/Marburg Barefoot Running Group
By Gueng


The Marburg barefoot running group was started on 1st April, 2014.

We are running on a weekly basis, every Tuesday evening, except the Winter months (Dec. - Jan. - Feb.).

Our routes are normally between 5 and 8 km long, more or less flat and have barefoot-friendly surfaces (mostly smooth asphalt and concrete). Participation is free of charge.

The rule is that every participant should run at least a small portion of the way (say 1 km) skin-to-ground. Interestingly, it turns out that many barefoot newbies are able to run more than half of the way s2g! Most of us carry our shoes with us in green light backpacks which were provided to us by a large German health insurance company.

Yesterday we were ten runners (five female, five male) which was more than ever before. Weather was great for barefoot running - sunny but not to hot. So we made a series of photos which I am now presenting to BRS - to encourage others for starting their own local bf running group.

We are a group of people living in Marburg (Central Germany) or nearby, of course, but some of the participants are members of the German-Austrian Chapter of BRS. And, one of the guys is indeed of Austrian nationality :).
 
Gueng, Thierry,

Please post in the Germany/Austria Chapter that you are looking for running buddies in Vienna
