2022 IWWF World Masters Barefoot
Championships
San Marcos, Texas, September 25 – October 2, 2022
Dear Friends:
I have exciting news! We are rescheduling the IWWF World Masters Barefoot Championships to take place in San Marcos, Texas the week of September 26 - October 1, 2022. The tournament will be hosted by the Austin, Texas Barefoot Club.
We have found a private lake 2450 feet long and has held several three-event tournaments. The founder of the Austin Barefoot Club recently purchased the lake and surrounding property and has agreed to let us use it. And yes, we have barefooted on it! It’s incredible.
We have tremendous support from the San Marcos Convention and Business Bureau. They are very excited to have us and have been helping us sort through the hotel and entertainment options. We should have the details firmed up by the end of the year.
