Run Bare... or almost there!

Curious about the barefoot/minimalist running movement? Read Born to Run? Want to try barefoot running but don't know where to start? Our Run Bare training program is a 14-week coached group to get you ready to run the Blue Back Square Mitten Run 5k barefoot or in minimalist shoes like Vibram FiveFingers or Saucony Type A4s.

The group will meet every Wednesday at 6:00pm, beginning on September 1, for 30 minutes of barefoot running, drills, and education. Runners are then invited to participate in the Fleet Feet Sports Wednesday Fun Run - using shoes but practicing barefoot running techniques.

Registration for the program is $50, which includes fourteen weeks of coaching, a moisture-wicking t-shirt, weekly e-mails with your full training plan, and a coupon book for great savings. It is recommended that you have three types of footwear to participate: a pair of properly fitted running shoes, a pair of minimalist trainers, and your bare feet!

Run or Walk in an Amazing Race!

The Mizuno Mad Mini Marathon, a running and trivia scavenger hunt through West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square, will happen on Wednesday, September 1st at 6:30pm at Fleet Feet Sports.  The event will be similar to  the television show The Amazing Race, with teams of two receiving clues, completing challenges at different locations all throughout the Center, running from location to location and, in the end, racing to be the first team to the finish line.

Fleet Feet has teamed up with various other businesses in the area, whose identities are secret until you figure them out from the clues.  In addition, Mizuno will also be sponsoring this event to award a free pair of shoes to the winning team. There will also be prizes for 2nd place and other fun categories.

The race will be FREE and you can pre-register at Fleet Feet in West Hartford during store hours. There will also be day of registration open at 5:30 on Sept. 1st.  Click here to print a registration form to bring in or e-mail sarah@fleetfeethartford.com for more information!
