Why Barefoot?

One Mile in Their Footsteps.

In the rural communities we serve, many children walk to school and clinic without shoes. For one morning, we run the way they walk, and every runner brings a pair of shoes to send back with our mission team.

The run finishes in two places: here in Utah, and in Kukuom, Ghana, where a companion race brings the whole community out. Donated shoes from Utah are handed over in person during the next mission.

  • Run barefoot on the grass course, or keep your laces on
  • All ages and paces welcome: walk it, jog it, race it
  • Every dollar and every shoe goes to the field
