Starting in April we’ll be hitting the roads, holding clinics and free talks in 168 different cities in 180 days. We’ll cover all 48 states plus 4 provinces in Canada, including cities totaling well over 170 million people.

Phew! This could be a little work, but fortunately it’s a labor of love. We can’t wait to help people learn more about barefoot running, safe & proper technique, do’s and don’ts, minimalist footwear, and more.  We also hope to dispel a few myths along the way and help runners rediscover the joy of running - healthy, happy and injury free.

Below you’ll find a map of our journey. We’ve broken the map up into four 6-week phases.

RunBare takes barefoot running education on the road, hitting 166 cities in 180 days.

Phase 1: Clockwise, Boulder, CO through the Southwest, up north to the Pacific Northwest & Canada, before diving back down through the Rockies.

Phase 2: Boulder, CO to New York City, then heading south clockwise, down the coast to Florida, up around the Gulf Coast, and back up to New York.

Phase 3: Up through the Northeast, into Canada and Quebec, before heading west. This is our most northerly route, heading through Montreal and Toronto, then down into upstate New York, across the Great Lakes, across Ohio to Michigan and Chicago, up through Wisconsin to Winnipeg, then diving south into the Midwest and back to Chicago.

Phase 4: Takes us on a giant loop from Illinois, heading clockwise down to Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama, before hooking back north to catch Arkansas, then heading back south through New Orleans and onto Houston, Corpus Christi, San Antonio and Austin, before heading back up to Oklahoma, Kansas, Saint Louis, and back to Chicago, just in time for the Chicago Marathon on October 10th.

Below you’ll find our Phase 1 timetable, including dates and locations. We’ll hold an average of two clinics per week (one weekday, one weekend) and 4 talks per week. If you’re a running store or club interested in hosting a talk or clinic, or getting involved in any way, please contact us at info@runbare.com. We’re booking events on a rolling 1-2 month window with the goal of reaching as many people as possible.

Coming soon, to a city near you! Click here for a list of dates and venues!

It should be an exciting and informative presentation. We’ll be talking about the latest science, including Dr. Daniel Lieberman’s new study, and the recent study from the University of Virginia.

The result of wearing ill fitting shoes for a lifetime.

Unshod Adult Bare Feet are wider in the forefoot, providing natural stability.

We’ll look at transitioning to barefoot running, proper form, the dangers of modern footwear, the benefits of minimalist footwear and what to look for, how to train barefoot, and much, much more.  
 
We’ll also be looking at how to overcome injuries and get back into the sport, injury free, and how to stay that way for a lifetime of running 

We’ve been doing a lot of research for our upcoming book, “Barefoot Running,” which we’ll be sharing as well, and will have a lengthy Q/A session to discuss concerns and questions on this topic.

Bring your questions, bring your shoes, and of course, bring your own bare feet.

This talk is free and open to everyone of all ages and abilities. We welcome everyone to join us. Above all else, we hope you have fun, and learn something to bring back to your training.
