Trip To Asia

Living in Mexico's Sierra Madre mountain range, the Raramuri Indians are some of the best long distance runners in the world, but how far can they run in the face of problems like environmental damage, loss of native lands, and the drug war? An American ultra marathon runner known as Caballo Blanco is fighting to help the Raramuri preserve their culture and tradition of long distance running. The Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon is the result.

@snakerman2612 Gazelles live in Africa, not Mexico. But it is true that indigenous people have been known to run prey to death.

I think it's important to remember these are not superheroes. They do not have bionic bodies which never break down. We could all do the things they do (which by the way, they don't view as that odd) given the right circumstances and knowledge. But it is just so god damn hard in the world most people live in today.

@terrapatra The Tarahumara run because they love to do it. They really don't care about winning, it's more of a social event. They are the true champions, because they don't need to finish first to 'win' at life. Read Born to Run, its an amazing book.
