UTMB World Series visits Mexican Chihuahua
While the residents of the natives of the Mexican Chihahua region have a long-term tradition as a way of life, there is a hunt or travel of a persistence, he was Christopher McDuglal book that was born for a run.
Respecting the cultural heritage of RARAMU’S PEOPLE, “light feet”, they inspired the world with the ability to travel long distances through mountainous terrain. Their colorful traditional clothes and huarache sandals made of machine tires and leather straps make the people of the region instantly recognizable.
Retreating to high Sierras and copper gorge to avoid Spanish influence in the 16tht. Century Age, RARAMUIN is the names of the people, the name of which is used by foreigners (including McDougall) to apply to them. Being a way of life for Raramuri, it was probably inevitable that the events and tribes eventually developed in the region.
The UTMB event co-founder Michel Poletti is the one with deep roots that passes through the trail and felt that he was born, so he was born with UTMB Chihuahua.
Chihiahua’s region is one of the thirthly countries that together with Mexico makes the beautiful land of Mexico. His capital is the viable city of Chiuahua. The Chihuahuan is bordered in the north-western Mexico, north of Mexico and Texas to the north. Founded on July 6, 1824, this state is divided into 67 communities. Chihuahua is the largest state in the Mexican Republic, which represents 13% of the earth’s surface. In the center of the mainland and surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges, his climate is mainly dried with little rain. The rich history of Chihuahua is marked in the presence of different native groups, including “Running Tribe”, Tarahila or Raramuri.
This foot of the global tour of the tour brought more than 2000 runs from 38 countries and five continents in Mexico, as UTMB fell into a quiet city of Kreel. The UTMB now spreads its attractiveness beyond the extreme ultra enthusiasm, but the athletes of the most excessive trail are in the middle of all tribes.
During each of the course, you go through the Chepe Train Division Station, crossroads, Huerachi and Mogotavo communities and tents in the respiratory trail, where you will understand the unattractive depths of Sierra Madri.
The great event of the weekend, Raramuri 100 miles, included almost 8000 meters of vertical interests, which was near RARAMUI’S VIRPLE AND THE LOCAL RENT, MAURO MARIN QUIMA. Dressed in traditional clothes of Raramuri and thin resolution sandals, the local man almost provided legendary status. QUIMARE ran 30 miles to the original line of the race before setting the tempo over halfway away.
Finally, Canadian Victor Larokk was claiming victory, which was his first race 100 miles away from marathon’s distance.
More than 130 RARAMU RESIDENTS took part in different races, events on weekends.

When participating in any of the events allows you to close the copper gorge, its enormity requires a little more time to study it and the surrounding area.
I was able to spend a few days in Chihiahua region, all over the world of this world, and disappointed. The huge area could easily be background with the background, extraordinary, lunar landscape and prehistoric stone structures.
I visited valleys named for frogs, mushrooms and monks, each of which was named because of the similarity of stone massive structures. Everyone was falling thousands of years ago.
The copper gorge or Barcelas Del Kobr is six valleys in the state of Mexico’s State of Chihiua, which is formed millions of years ago and deepened 25,000 square miles.
BasaSeachic Falls are on an altitude of more than 240 m and are the tallest waterfalls in Mexico, and if you feel it easily, despite it, because of the way of the road. Another valuable cessation of cusarare falls. Although “30 m high” and about 30 m wide, they are still more impressive, the greater the greater, and again allow us to approach both the fall of the fall and at the bottom. The kitchen takes you with dramatic waterfalls, old stone designs and ruins, as well as decorative with caves.
To conclude my journey, I took the Chepe Express, a train journey from the reduction to Los Meos, a default with the copper gorge and the Pacific Ocean. The journey is really the opportunity to absorb the scenes and witness the scale of the surroundings, depths of the valleys.
Through UTMB, Chihuahua was not only a race. It is a celebration of Chihuahua’s landscape and culture, inviting runningers from around the world to witness attractions and challenge it into it.
