Running Human : l’homo sapiens est un prodigieux coureur podonudiste
It’s the Biology
The human body is a perfect barefoot running machine, originally designed for persistence hunting to get the necessary food so that our species could survive, and nowadays for doing marathons to stay healthy and happy. This means two crucial things for current humans. First, those who don’t regularly run long distances are likely to suffer from the chronic diseases (stress, depression, insomnia, fatigue, obesity, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, kidney failure, loss of mobility or cognitive abilities, some cancers, etc.) against which doctors and drugs are proving increasingly helpless, hence the seemingly unstoppable exponential expansion of the epidemic throughout the world. And second, since shoes act like a bug in the system, those who run marathons wearing sneakers are highly likely to sustain diverse pains and injuries (read more).
221 Marathons & Ultramarathons since 2010
66 barefoot marathons and a 90 km barefoot ultramarathon since 2015
I’ve run on my naked feet, in 40 countries of six continents (Africa, Asia, North America, South America, Europe, Oceania or Zealandia) one 90 km ultramarathon (the 2018 Comrades Marathon) and 66 marathons, including 15 barefoot marathons in 14 weeks in 2018 and 8 barefoot marathons in 8 weeks in 2019. I started getting rid of the shoes in June 2015.
I was 55 when I did in Chicago my first marathon, and I’ve already run 13 ultramarathons and 208 marathons, including 48 marathons in 2013 and twice 7 marathons in 7 days (6 marathons on 6 Caribbean islands and one marathon on the Caribbean Sea) in 2016 and in 2019.
I’ve run marathons and ultramarathons in 86 countries. I've been twice to Antarctica, where I ran a marathon in January 2014, and an ultramarathon followed by a half marathon in February 2015.

The first barefoot runner of a marathon, Abebe Bikila, defeated his competitors and broke the world record. Sadly, he accepted afterwards to wear sneakers, and he ended up becoming the first legendary victim of the devastating effects of the shoes, when he sustained the serious injuries that spelled the end of his running career.
Running a marathon with shoes can lead to guaranteed injury and pain
2019 Reggae Marathon
I ran on December 8, 2019, in Negril, Jamaica, my 66th barefoot marathon, unsurprisingly fatigue, pain and injury free, despite the hot asphalt during the second half of the race.

Ultra-marathon # 11
After running barefoot 64 km of the 2017 edition of the Ultimate Human Race, my longest distance ever on my free feet, I opted to switch to the minimalist shoes for the remaining 23 km, as it turned out that the second half of the course is a little bit less friendly for a new barefoot runner. To those who saw me barefoot on the race and might wonder how I got the shoes, I was carrying them in the pockets of my rather unsual outfit for a comptemporary long distance runner. Upon crossing the line Finish Line in Pietermaritzburg, I got the Vic Clapham medal as well as the back-to-back medal for having completed my first Comrades last year.

I completed barefoot on March 19, 2017 in Kourou, French Guiana, the Marathon de l’espace that I had the honor of finishing injury- and pain-free at the 131st and last place in 5:58:03. This is my 10th marathon barefoot. I spent as much time due to the exceptional roughness of the pavement as well as to my choice to preserve my feet, as they are not yet fit enough for such a barefoot-unfriendly course.

In the late 1960s film of Mel Stuart, If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium, a group of American tourists went on an 18-day sightseeing tour of 7 European countries. The 2010s’ trend is adding both a physical and mental challenge to this kind of tourism: completing an endurance race in each country visited.
On January 29, 2016, we took the challenge to complete 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 Caribbean locations.

100 Marathons on the Seven Continents 4 Years & 3 Months after my first marathon
I was kindly
granted the bib number 100 for my 100th official marathon,
which I ran on January 18, 2015 in the
Bahamas, exactly 4 years, 3 months and 8 days after my first marathon, completed painfully on October 10, 2010
in Chicago. My 100 marathons were held
on the Seven Continents and in over 30 countries. I have also participated in five ultramarathons in
5 Continents between May 10, 2014
and January 3, 2015. My choice of The Bahamas
for my 100th marathon,
and the fact I came 2nd in my age group, attracted great interest from the race organizers and local media. If you are looking for wonderful venue for
your next winter marathon or half, I’d strongly recommend the Marathon Bahamas
and you will surely find out why they love to say: “Running Is… Better In The Bahamas”.

My 5th Continent Ultramarathon
For the Asia leg of my Seven Continents Utramarathon Quest, I ran on January 3, 2015 the Kathmandu Ultra 50 km in the Shivapuri National Park, Nepal. It was by the way, as I knowingly expected, my toughest race ever and at the same time one of the world most rewarding courses, not to mention the wonderful 3-day experience in Kathmandu and the nice staff of the Norbu Linka Hotel in Thamel, a tourist district. If an ultramarathon or even a shorter distance (11k or 27k) in Asia is in your bucket list, you may want to consider the Kathmandu Ultra Trail. Race director Richard is very helpful for visiting runners. See the results and more pictures.

The 2014 Bush Capital Bush Ultramarathon (63.3k)
3 Ultramarathons on 3 Continents in 3 Months
I ran on Sunday, August 3 in Canberra, the Aussie capital, The Bush Ultramarathon, being rewarded by a lot of cockatoos in town and smiling kangaroos on the race course in the nature reserve of Mount Ainslie and Mount Majura. It was by the way my Oceania ultramarathon, after those of Africa (the Royal Raid 80, on 10 May, in Mauritius) and Europe (The Ultra Marin 56 km, on 28 June, in the Gulf of Morbihan, France). The trip took me 7 flights (Paris-Dubai-Singapore-Melbourne-Canberra and Canberra-Melbourne-Dubai-Paris), 7 days and 7 nights, including 3 nights in Canberra and a full day in the city of Dubai. I expect to run my next ultramarathon in a few months in North America. In the meantime, I’ll be still running marathons.
