Yes! Definitely. Contrary to what most people think, it's very healthy, even on hard surfaces. Just build up to it slowly to give your feet time to adjust and your calluses time to toughen up, if you're used to wearing shoes.
Here's some info from "Survey in China and India of Feet That Have Never Worn Shoes":
One hundred and eighteen of those interviewed were rickshaw coolies. Because these men spend very long hours each day on cobblestone or other hard roads pulling their passengers at a run it was of particular interest to survey them. If anything, their feet were more perfect than the others. All of them, however, gave a history of much pain and swelling of the foot and ankle during the first few days of work as a rickshaw puller. But after either a rest of two days or a week's more work on their feet, the pain and swelling passed away and never returned again. There is no occupation more strenuous for the feet than trotting a rickshaw on hard pavement for many hours each day yet these men do it without pain or pathology.

It all depends on where I am jogging and what type of day it is.
On a warm day I prefer to just go for a long walk in bare feet. If a mild day then I would only jog barefoot on soft surfaces like grass or sand as concrete can be bad for your ankles whilst running for long periods.
But then again I do prefer a nice long walk in bare feet than a jog in sneakers. Every Tuesday and Friday I usually go for a jog or long walk.

Not unless I am at the beach or doing a race of some sort or running on grass for fun.
I prefer a nice walk in bare feet instead be it just around the block, going shopping, to the park or just to get some exercise.

Mmmm bare feet, toes wiggling in the breeze...
I once walked to the top of Dithol in bare feet ...then I walked back down in bare feet . It's given me a memory of all the details of the track ...the cool white sand patches, the sticky mud, the laterite gravel, the cold iron ladder, the hateful surprise gumnut, the grippy sandstone, the buzz of my feet in the car on the way home.
...but would I ever JOG barefoot?
NEVER!
jogging is for people who have no time (c;

No. Parasites enter our bodies through our feet and other orifices, and people who go barefoot a lot, end up with many parasites. This is how many people get Chrones disease.
Early man had callouses on his feet to make it very difficult for parasites to enter, but modern man is not equipped that way.
good luck to you

Years ago I was running bare footed and stepped on a rock, and got a blood blister the size of south-Africa on My heel. So no.

Definitely not! Goodness knows what dangers lie in wait on the grass or paths!
