Running Barefoot is Optional!! Feel free to wear whatever footwear you like!
Running Moms, in collaboration with Compass Lake in the Hills, has partnered together to present you with a unique race experience. The race will be held on Saturday, May 22, at 8:00 a.m. in conjunction with the Barefoot Music Festival that will be held on Friday, May 21st and Saturday, May 22nd. Registration will open that morning at 7:00 a.m. Participants may register online via Active Online Registration or may wish to use a mail in registration form. Please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or any of our founders, and we will get a registration form mailed out to you. For local participants, we will be putting out race applications at various businesses in our area during the month of March. The Compass Lake in the Hills will be a brand new race course for our area. In addition, we will hold a "barefoot" running award division! Runners who wish to run the race barefoot or in Vibram Five Fingers, will compete for an additional award in that division. A special award will be given to the overall male and overall female "barefoot" runner. As a special bonus, all race participants will recieve a ticket into both Friday and Saturday's events. To attend Friday night's events, participants would need to come pick up their race packet on Friday evening at Compass Lake in the Hills Lodge. A time confirmation will be forthcoming on pre-race day packet pickup. Saturday morning race packet pick ups will be getting their ticket into Saturday's events which feature the band Shenandoah. We are looking forward to seeing you at the First Annual Barefoot Music Festival and Barefoot 5K!
Sincerely,
Running Moms

Hello. I am Edna Alford. Running has become an incredible outlet for me! It's an awesome stress reliever, gives my mind peace to think, space to find creative solutions, and allows me to feel alive and strong. I hope to run until the day comes when I can no longer run. Until then...happy running!

Hi Betty! It's pretty firm sand. A group of us ran this race route this week and I commented to the group on how nice and firm the sand was. It was firmer than I expected and very easy to run on.

Hello,
I was just wondering if the sandy parts of the run are considered soft sand or more of a firm clay type? -

Hi Melissa and Melanie! I will post the link now:
http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=362410
I will also post to Active soon and on this site in a more visible location. After the final routing of the course, it looks like most of the course is going to be paved. However, there will be 2 loops that will be "off road" and one nice hilly surprise before the last off road loop. Take a look at it from the link. It's a nice course and it should be tons of fun! -

Just wondering... is the Barefoot 5k course off road? I'm a V.F.F. runner but I just can't do pavement with them. Thanks.
