Quite a feat: Man runs 102 miles barefoot
Quite a feat: Man runs 102 miles barefoot
Todd Ragsdale enjoyed a peppermint mineral foot soak while relaxing at home Monday. It was well deserved after running a world-record distance without shoes over the weekend.
Between 8 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday, the 41-year-old logged 102 miles barefoot — 413 laps on the South Medford High School track.
Ragsdale made his run in the Relay For Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
The run left Ragsdale's feet bruised, blistered and swollen, but he said it was well worth it.

That is a lot of miles barefoot I don't think I can do that and that is cool that he did that but wouldn't that hurt your feet ?
I think this guy is crazy for running this many miles. I don't know how he could do that?. I would never amage a 41 year old man running for that long. That man must be in some great shape if he can run that long.
That is a lot of miles to run barefoot. This guy must have strong feet and ankles to run. He must of praticed running when he was little and kept on practicing.
That is amazing that he could go that far! But the most important thing to me is that he did it to help others! I envy him for the fact that even though he got blisters and that his feet were swollen he still did it to help other people who really really need it! Good for him!
dang! that guy is amazing for doing that. and i pray that a lot of people donated for the cancer society because thats what people need, is someone like him to plan something like this so that we can all give hope to people with cancer.
I think that it is a lot of miles to run 102 is way way way to much for me I would sleep the rest of my life if I ever did that.
You might think that this man is crazy, but he is the exact opposite. If I ran 102 miles barefoot, I think that I would have dropped dead half-way through the time. Anyway, I think this man made a big point and that point was to go all the way and don't stop. He wanted to run in the Relay For Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and he didn't care what would happen. Some evidence to support that is "The run left Ragsdale's feet bruised, blistered and swollen, but he said it was well worth it." Overall, I think that this guy did something that a true man would do. Thank you to Todd Ragsdale and I I hope that you enjoyed that peppermint mineral foot soak.
Choice=That must have hurt to have ran 102 miles barefoot. I don't know why it was worth it breaking the world record. He wouldn't be able to run like that again.He probably wouldn't walk.
thats so nice hope a lot of people donated money for the cancer people . god please heal them!!!! and i feel srry for that guy i bet he was puking but as he said it was worth it
