Besides it being totally fun and completely different, there are many great reasons why you should run in The Naked Foot 5k. We are helping Soles4Souls® to reach their goal of putting shoes on people all over the world who couldn't otherwise. This is the first event of its kind and you can say you were there when it all started. If you have never run barefoot you'll be refreshed by how light and free you feel. On top of that, running barefoot naturally corrects many typical biomechanical deficiencies that can lead to common injuries (like plantar fasciitis and knee pain).
