Florida-Panama City Chapter
Welcome to
The Florida-Panama City Chapter
of
The Barefoot Runners Society!
The Barefoot Runners Society FLORIDA-PANAMA CITY CHAPTER PRESIDENT POSITION IS AVAILABLE!!!
As CP you will coordinate meetups, meetings, parties, etc., for your members both local to you and in areas where there is a high concentration of members in your state using the resources the BRS provides for you. Of course, you do not have to attend all meetups; you can recruit others to act as contact for you.
You will also accept (or deny) membership requests into your chapter via the BRS site.
Monitor your chapter's home page and forum on the BRS site and take part in the discussions there.
Monitor your chapter's Facebook page and take part in the discussions there.
If you are interested, please email me at BarefootTJ@BarefootRunners.org.
****
Group Admin, you may customize your chapter introduction page any way you would like. We will post a help video soon describing how to edit, post, and manage your chapter. Until then, experiment and explore.
Your chapter is a "Charter Chapter," which will be one of several serving as a test to help determine the best structures and paths for future growth. Your successes will be used to guide the formation of future chapters. Your chapter will receive support from the parent organization and its many resources. However, as an organizer of a Charter Chapter, you will have significant liberty to organize your chapter however you wish. We will encourage you to periodically arrange barefoot runner meetups/group runs at events and races in your state and encourage Barefoot Runner Divisions within those races, hold club meetings, parties, etc., but we are especially interested to see what you come up with that we haven't even thought of yet. Your creativity and energy will be literally writing the manual for the implementation of subsequent chapters across the country and internationally.
Welcome!

Places to Run, Walk, or Hike
I've been out snooping around today and checked out a new trail system. I wrote a review, as I have for other local trails, but I figured I'd put some links to the local trails over here. Please add your own, maybe we can plan a meet-up

Looking for Tampa Chapter BRS members
To All,
I noticed there are 62 members assigned to the Florida-Panama City Chapter. For those of you that are in or near Tampa please head over to the Tampa Chapter website and send me a membership request so I can get you signed up. We stood up the Tampa Chapter at the beginning of August and had our first meet up this past Saturday. It was a good turnout but it can get better.
Keep It Bare,
Warren Dickey
President, BRS Tampa Chapter
