Raramuri Runners I Airstrip of the NARCOS I Insight into the Tarahumaras Life I MEXICO

Raramuri or also called as The Tarahumara of northern Mexico, are a community of indigenous Mexicans who are known the world over for their ability to run hundreds of miles. During the 15th and 16th century when the Spaniards were colonizing the vast lands of Mexico - these groups retreated into the caves and avoided persecutions and ever since have been living some kind of secluded lives far away from the modern world.

They probably best deserve the top accolades for their achievements in the ultrarunning realm. After all, these proud Native Americans refer to themselves at the “Rarámuri,” which means “those who run fast” and have a long tradition of covering hundreds of miles on foot over the course of several days in order to communicate, trade and hunt.

Meeting the Raramuri's was a dream for me and one of the highlight of my travel in this beautiful country. Hope you enjoy watching this video. Cheers!
