The 2025 Boxing Day Marathon, Gran Canaria
Marathon # 543
Barefoot Marathon # 197
Date: December 26, 2025
My Time: 7:23:55
By Dr. Barefoot Sidy Diallo
I completed my 543rd marathon on December 26, known as Boxing Day in the United Kingdom and several Commonwealth countries where it’s a public holiday.
After running the first 4 km, I took a break at the gym for a Zumba session led by Yaiza. One choreography resembled kickboxing, which had absolutely nothing to do with the name of the race.
My book Running Barefoot for Human Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format (French edition: Courir pieds nus pour sauver les humains).
