I was definitely a fish out of water in the city, felt like a different world! Would like to visit again with more free time to explore.

How apt! “Nut Island” as the location for the NYC Barefoot Run!  ;-)

Just kidding! Hope you have a great time and as usual share your experience.

It’s gonna be my first time going all out barefoot. Seems to be shaping up to be a fun event.
