The New England Barefoot Runners is a 2+ year old barefoot and minimalist running group with roots dating back to 1997 in Huntington Beach, CA. We are based in Cambridge, MA serving the New England States. As this is a niche group with wide borders, the most convenient way to get together is by meeting up at races, fun runs, workshops and special events. Most members and events are currently in MA, NH and ME. WE are actively seeking more people from RI, CT and VT. As this is a new way to run for many people, we understand that some members will be truly barefoot with over 15 years of experience while other members will be new minimalist runners. Some members race while others want to learn how to run barefoot in a safe and informed manner. We are open and encourage all types and levels of runners regardless of age, experience style and speed. We love to run barefoot and minimalist as it does not put as much stress on the body and actually feels good, often improving performance and preventing injury. We are forming a barefoot and minimalist runner’s community with both casual and race-minded runners. We are diverse - Join in!
