Barefoot running is gaining a following on the fringe of the larger jogging community. Hardcore "barefooters" prefer hard surfaces to softer terrain (e.g., grass, beaches); a few even venture off road.[citation needed]

Heading up the effort as the barefoot running guru is Ken Saxton, a barefoot marathoner from California, who maintains barefootrunning.org. and moderates the Running Barefoot group on Yahoo!.

[edit] Prominent Barefooters

Barefoot elites include Zola Budd and former Olympic marathon world-record holder Abebe Bikila.
