Announcing the 1st Annual New York City Barefoot Run
It’s time that the growing barefoot and minimalist running movement had an event of their own. Well, now we do.
I am pleased to announce the 1st Annual New York City Barefoot Run on Sunday, October 10th. Go barefoot, wear minimalist shoes, or even wear normal sneakers. The event will take place on beautiful Governors Island in New York Harbor, with stunning views of the Statue of Liberty, lower Manhattan, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
We have a stellar line-up of special guests:
- Dan Lieberman, Harvard Professor and barefoot running researcher
- Erwan Le Corre, founder of MovNat
- Jason Robillard, author of The Barefoot Running Book
- …plus all of your local hosts in Barefoot Runners NYC
It’s not just a run and done. Come on Saturday, October 9th for clinics in the park, we’re planning some events for Saturday night, and enjoy the day at Governors Island on Sunday.
Details here. We’re limiting space at 500, so register today. Don’t miss it — the first time only happens once.
