I'm Barefooting the MCM this weekend is anyone else? It will be my first marine marathon.
Marine Corps Marathon
- Thread starter Barefoot Everett
- Start date
I was just talking about this with a friend at work. We may try to get in the lottery for next year, we'll see. I'm running Cape Cod this weekend.
Completed the MCM in 3:26:57 all barefoot. My 2nd sub 3:30 marathon in 2 weeks. There were a few other barefooters there as well. I didn't find the course to be as barefoot friendly as advertised. The first 10 wasnt bad then it got a little abrasive until we entered barefooters hell also known as Crystal City miles 20-24. I also didn't expect the course to be as hilly as it was but the crowd support made them much less noticeable. All in all it was an awesome race and an honor to run in our nations capitol supported by our United States Marines. Only next time I will be wearing my Lunas.
Nice time! I had friend who ran it (not barefoot). He took a picture of someone running barefoot, it's from the back and he was wearing shorts with black compression socks. Was that you?
No I was in a pink shirt and black shorts no compression socks or anything.
Nice and great time! Under 3:30 with hills and not so pleasant barefoot surfaces...
No kidding, I barely got under 4hrs and 2 weeks later I'm just getting back to being able to jog again
Thank you. I'm running the Bucks County Marathon on Nov. 17th in Washingtons crossing park in PA that will make it 3 in 5 weeks though I'm feeling in no shape for a sub 3;30 at this point.
