March 31 through September 30, 2012
Considered to be the world’s greatest long-distance runners, the Tarahumara people live within the dramatic canyons of the Sierra Madre in Chihuahua, Mexico. Competing on mountainous terrain in daylong races comprising up to 100 miles, the Tarahumara people have maintained the strength, stamina, and isolation that has ensured their survival through the centuries.
The exhibition features a documentary by Sterling Noren and Noren Films.
Experience the races for yourself through the vibrant and colorful photography of Texas-born photographer and journalist Diana Molina, who has documented the Sierra Madre and its people for more than a decade.
Christopher McDougall, author of the national best-selling book and epic adventure, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen (2009), speaks at the Museum’s Annual Petersen Lecture April 11.
