One of best-known people in Guachochi is the long-distance runner María Lorena Ramírez Hernández, who won the UltraTrail Cerro Rojo in April 2017, a 50 kilometer long-distance race held in Puebla, Mexico. But she did it with sandals, dressed in a skirt, and without having prepared herself with formal training. She ran for 7 hours without shoes or any kind of expensive sports equipment, without gels or energy sweets (only a small bottle of water), without modern glasses, and beating more than 500 high-performance athletes from different countries. And so she climbed the podium, with her skirt and sandals, known as 'huaraches' in Mexico.
Maria Lorena Ramirez Hernandez is part of the Tarahumara ethnic group, which has lived in the Sierra Madre Occidental, in the Mexican State of Chihuahua, for centuries. Interestingly, the Tarahumaras call themselves 'rarámuris', which means 'runners on foot' in their language. In fact, Maria Lorena Ramirez Hernandez barely speaks Spanish and her language is Tarahumara. According to several testimonies, Tarahumara men and women are capable of running more than 200 kilometers.
