Runners- assemble! Get your running gear on asap. That means the neon headband, your best shorts and tank and even the really high white socks. Oh and the scrunchy as well.

Bring your shoes too…but don’t wear them…because there are individuals in the US and around the world who desperately need a pair of shoes. Footwear will enable them to go to school and/or work and help prevent them from contracting certain diseases. So bring a pair of shoes to donate (and a pair to run in if you really dont want to run “naked”) and get ready for the Naked Foot 5K!

The Naked Foot 5K was founded by Scott and Lauren Jones. The exercise-loving couple wants race participants to have fun and feel free, while helping out a good cause. They’ve organized 10 races across the country for 2012.

St. Augustine, FL – February 4th
Seattle, WA – July 2012
