Great photos!!!!!! We should share more pics like this on the site! Thanks for posting!

Wonderful! Are they all members of the BRS? If not, can you recruit them?

Also, I have asked the developers to create a photo album for the site, so be sure to move these over there once that's implemented. I wish they would hurry up! sigh.

Hi TJ,

I will try to convince them of joining the BRS. Thanks for your appreciation.

Great Photos! Can't believe I missed this thread somehow.

Those are great photos. It's kind of funny to see shoe company names on all their bibs, though!

This time, I made it into the local newspaper:

Translation of the figure caption at the bottom:
"Barefoot in the rain: Dr. Martin Guengerich (Marburg Running School, Number 663) performed his 10 k run through the Burgwald (a forest area in Hesse) in continous rainfall without shoes."
