    Trail uphill hiking technique

    Barefoot Friendly Races in NJ and Philly areas

    The 8k is a really fast course. Last year there was at least one other barefoot runner. I don't think I will run it this year but may come to the finish to cheer/meet you. I don't know a lot of barefoot runners in the area. Good luck for the marathon this weekend.
