Korima Run
A Korima (sharing) Run with, and in support of the Raramuri peoples of the Sierra Tarahumara.
These are greatly challenging times for all of us. For some of our friends however, the effects of the Corona Virus has had on their families and their communities is truly devastating. Sadly, this has been the case for the Tarahumara and so many who call the Copper Canyons home. These people, and these lands has provided our running community so many inspirational stories over the years and we are hopeful you can join us and be part of another incredibly special one.

Tradition also provides that when they run on and with the earth it helps support this balance. Our friends will be doing a run, they hope you will join them wherever you are to help support this balance and help support the Tarahumara community.
