Most of these records are not “official” records, as it is rare that the official running records indicate if a runner was barefoot or wearing shoes at the time a record was set. So, these are, from articles, anecdotes, and personal reports, the records that we know of. Please contact the webmaster if you have any additions, corrections, or updates.

WARNING:
Before you try to set or break any records, be sure to read what other have learned while Extreme Barefooting, and start short, slow, and build gradually, and then when you think you’re ready, HAVE FUN! ( Just don’t try to win a Darwin Award! )
