Porochi Runs - Keeping Culture Alive
Running has always been a part of the Raramuri culture through sport games such as Rarajipari and Ariweta. True messages joined forces with the 100 Mile Club to bring the opportunity to participate in the program to the Porochi School in the Sierra Tarahumara. The children work on running the equivalent of 100 miles during the course of the year.
The True Messages Team attended one of their runs and were able to see the pure joy these children experience while running and working toward a goal. My favorite memory is watching a little girl get her miles in and as she finished she says, “ay mama” and falls flat into the grass with a big ole smile on her face.
