That's not a shame at all actually. They are attempting to do exactly what you describe which is a positive thing. Did you add this info to the calendar event? Let's hope they break the record. We, the BRS along with Jason Robillard, tried to break the same record about three years ago, and we would have except there was some problem with the accounting of it. Bummer. But it's always good to see each record successively beaten. It's always good press for barefoot running.
I wanted to share in case Jason did not have a chance to check in here...
Here's a post from Jason on RW:
And from before the race:
As far as roll call... this is the crew I can remember of the top of my head: Dama, Snoeshoe Hare, DT Joe, Shacky, kyr, Longboard, UrbanSage, Huang, jscott87, ShelBell, Barefoot Art, TT Mark... I'm sure I am missing a few.
Good articles and footage of the Guinness WR BFR Run too, BTW. Jason, I stand and applaud you for bringing the event to light and promoting barefoot running and the Barefoot Runners Society. I especially LOVE that Running Times picked this up. MOST EXCELLENT! Outstanding! You leave me begging for more! What's next?
I AM PROUD!
I must point out that I could pick Dama's legs and feet out of the blur of bare feet running past the camera. Man, do we know each other or what?
