Hello all, I would like to settle a "minimalist running event" in France to help promote the thing. I would like to invite a few (number will depend of the budget I will manage to get) well-known and respected US minimalist runners / theoricians / promoters. Whom, according to you should I contact ?
Thanks.
Top of the list, of course is the one and only Chris McDougall! He said that Born to Run will be released in French soon, if the event coincided with that, he might already be planning to be in France, or interested to be here to promote his book.
I'd also love to meet Pete Larson of Runblogger. He's just so cool, but not sure if he's celebrity enough in France to draw a crowd?
For sex appeal: Anton Krupicka - for the girls Skye Mangrum - for the boys
And for science Dan Liebermann?
And how about the minimalistic shoe industry? Get someone from Vibram, Altra, etc...
For entertainment value Barefoot Ted?
I wish there were some promenant Europeans on my list!
OK this isn't probably very realistic, but you asked.
