Minnesota Chapter
The Minnesota Chapter of the Barefoot Runners Society seeks to promote and grow the Minnesota barefoot running community through events, education, and barefoot running resources. This is a site for Minnesota barefoot runners, those who run in minimalist shoes, and anyone who is interested in learning more about the sport.
We hope to provide members with:
- Information and links to barefoot and minimalist events in Minnesota and the surrounding area
- Articles, news, and forum discussions to educate you about barefoot and minimalist running, as well as dispel the myths surrounding the sport
- Resources to unite barefoot and minimalist runners in Minnesota and the surrounding area for support, community, and good times.
For up to the minute news, events, and links, you can follow us on facebook on our fan page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Barefoot-Runners-Society-Minnesota-Chapter/124212150945707?ref=mf
Message saypay45 if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about our page.
Thanks for joining our Chapter, and WELCOME!
A NOTE FOR CHAPTER POSTINGS: All members have the ability to post items and events on the chapter wall. We ask that all chapter postings be related to barefoot running. If you have an item of discussion, we ask that you post the matter on the chapter forum instead of the chapter main page to avoid clutter.
Chapter postings will be removed by the site administrator after one month, or after the event described in the posting has occurred (whichever comes first).
November Group Run Report
I'm a few days late in getting this one up. Sorry folks. It's been a busy week.
Group Run FAQ
Our chapter is growing at a remarkable speed. It's really good to see. But with so many new members, I don't always get time to talk to each and every one of you about questions you might have about our little club. In an effort to answer some of the common questions I get, I'll be putting out a series of FAQs.
Here's a FAQ for the most frequent event we hold here at BRS-MN: the group run.
When are group runs held?
October Group Run Report
I commented to someone yesterday that when I plan one of these group runs in the Twin Cities, hardly anyone shows up. But when I plan it 50 miles away in Cannon Falls we always get our biggest groups. What gives?!
Last minute Dec meetup, who's in for Thurs 9th afternoon?
Hey gang, I'm planning a very loose group run meet up next Thursday the 9th. I realize this is super short notice, though as events would have it...I'll be up in in the metro for the afternoon. Let me know if there's interest in meeting up and I'll throw something together (thinking 3/4pm ish), may need your help on meeting place etc. SP, when do you take off for Hawaii? Either respond to this post, or pm me those interested in meeting.

If you aren't able to meet up at this time, please feel free to carry on with your other tentatively scheduled (ehem, Gundy led) run.
