It prepares them also for the long races they run over mountains. The Tarahumara races sometimes last two days and two nights, without break! To make it more challenging and fun they kick a wooden ball in front of them. Two teams compete against each other. Lots of betting take place before the race. The Tarahumara are considered to be among the best long distant runners in the world. What is the secret to their amazing stamina?
