"The word for themselves, Rarámuri, means "runners on foot" or "those who run fast" in their native tongue according to some early ethnographers like Norwegian Carl Lumholtz, though this interpretation has not been fully agreed upon. With widely dispersed settlements, these people developed a tradition of long-distance running at least 160km long through their homeland of rough canyon country,for intervillage communication and transportation. The long-distance running tradition also has ceremonial and competitive aspects."
