Dolomites Skyrace

While not strictly a barefoot race I thought just from sheer difficulty I had to post this video of the Skyrace or Vertical Kilometre as it is sometimes known.
What I find amazing is the speed that the front runners decend the mountain. I have done hill races in the past of less than 1/4 of that height and when it comes to the downhill part your quads are so fatigued that you have to be careful not to lose control running down, these runners are just flying over the rocks. Even have enough energy to sprint to the finish, I would probably be being stretchered down at that time.
