The World's First Ever Five Fingers 5k, sponsored by Mahoney's was held in June in Johnson City, TN. It was open to all runners, regardless of footwear. However, the winner was wearing FiveFingers and finished the race in 17:33.
It was a relatively small race, with 89 participants, mostly locals. Touted as the "world's first" Five Fingers 5k, special consideration was given to VFF-clad runners, with completely separate rankings, awards, and prizes, as opposed to "regular shoe" runners who were still welcomed to participate. Of the total participants, 15 were VFF runners. Amazingly, there was only one female in the bunch sporting peach/chili Classics. The course ran through an adjacent residential neighborhood characterized by many frequent small hills. Combined with typical "deep south" weather, it made for a particularly unique 5k race.
