Tarahumara Foot Races

The Tarahumara live in the mountains in the state of Chihuahua in northern Mexico. This is an are of high mountains and deep tropical valleys. It sometimes snows in the mountains in winter. There are not many roads. The Tarahumara walk wherever they need to go. They carry heavy baskets on their backs. Perhaps this is why the Trahumara can run many kilometres without getting tired, They are excellent runners, and they like to organize races.

When the men race, they kick a wooden ball ahead of them while they run. The women's race are similar except that the women do not kick a ball.
The Tarahumara play integer Gaines abed sorts, Cuneiform they are famous because they can run so fast and so far.
