Heritage cultural
Foot racing competitions among the Rarámuris communities have been elements of social cohesion between the different towns of the Tarahumara region. Ball races among men and ariwueta races among women not only promote coexistence, but have also given them worldwide fame for being the most resistant runners on the planet. In their competitions between communities, the men bet even their shirts, and the women their skirts. The team that wins will distribute among the community the pile of objects that its opponents bet.
