I think the consensus opinion is that Rocky Racoon is the ultra best suited to barefoot the entire way. I know Todd Ragsdale tried last year and completely nutted up his foot because the trail was covered in snow.
I'll be able to report out on RR after the race. I would say only the Grasslands 50 mile is truly bf friendly, based on my experience. There are a few rocky sections but there are long stretches of sand.
I hope RR is BF friendly! lol. I think, weather permitting of course, that RR is 100 mile BF possiblle. Theres also the Destin 50 in Destin Florida, I think its all on sand.
Chaser- yeah... the trails are pretty much hard-packed dirt with a few roots and rocks. There's a section of gravel road, but it's also hard-packed. The original course was rocky as f$#k. The new course (as of last year) is MUCH better.
Wait... TJ, are you actually my now polygamous wife acting like a runner? Are these your multiple husbands that your using to try to ignore me? Are you a polygamous runner acting like my wife? Whats going on here, and how did that picture of Lava in a BRS thong end up as the background on my phone?
