EXTREME SPORT and KILPI provided the outfit of “The Barefooted”

For its last challenge - the official opening of its newest park for mountain biking Champians Factory bike park "Rila Lakes" the Guinness record holder Kostadin Margin “The barefooted” trusted the equipment of the Czech brand KILPI.



Our partners from KILPI graciously provided two outfits which The Barefooted ran the race track with for DH – shoeless, with a bike on his shoulder.
The event brought together over 400 cyclists from across the country.



The bike park is located 80 km south of Sofia, directly below the Seven Lakes and it has two main routes: the first is for "downhill"discipline and the other for tourists, which is suitable for beginners and intermediate cyclists.



In September 1993 in Seoul, South Korea, during the World Expo Kostadin Margin “The Barefooted” sets a record by running 100 km barefooted on asphalt. He was granted and awarded with a medal and a certificate from Guinness. The last 200 meters that Margin run was waving The Bulgarian national flag.

On October 1st, 2005  the marathon athlete run barefooted again for Guinness over 60 km in the Rila Mountains on rocky trails in rugged terrain with large slopes and large displacement of altitude.
Kostadin Margin devotes this attempt for Guinness record and registered it for the safety of road under the motto "Peace on the roads! No aggression! Keeping children safe in traffic".

The record holder works as a telephone technician in his city. Before sunrise, however, he gets up and runs 20 kilometers barefoot through the woods. He is doing this more than 20 years.
Although he is flat-footed he never received any damage in his feet. The Barefooted marathoner never smoked and drank alcohol.
