Footwear

[Aaron]

Hi all,

Was just wondering if firstly, Vibram Fivefingers are permitted as a form of footwear in the event and secondly, if anyone has completed the 100 km solo in a pair?

Cheers.

Hi Aaron

i am sure i saw a few runners with some Virbram on last year so i guess they are "allowed"...
and i did ran the NF solo last year

Good luck!

Hi Aaron,

I spoke to a woman who competed the run wearing them.  The only complaint she had was that she had started to suffer the effects of hypothermia towards the end.  Though I don't know whether that had anything to do with her footwear.

And from me good luck too.  This is going to be one awesome run.

Regards,

Ross

Hey Aaron,
We have a few FiveFingers sponsored teams doing it in the Fives. There's also a few solo runners we know of as well :-)
We have some cool 2XU technical t's made up for the race if you email us at info@barefootinc.com.au with your size etc
