The History of Norawas de Raramuri: Friends of the Running People

Norawas de Raramuri was a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization, started in 2008 by a group of Mas Locos and Micah True. They were friends of the Raramuri, also known as the Tarahumara, the native inhabitants of the Copper Canyons of Mexico. Norawas celebrates their way of life and their culture, which revolves around the joy of running and the importance of sharing with others.

With respect and love, Norawas maintains the great bridge that was created by Micah True, Caballo Blanco, between the Raramuri and runners of good will from all over the world.

While Norawas is no longer an active 501c3 nonprofit, all the friends and those involved still are active in supporting the peoples and communities of the Canyons.

We maintain this website to preserve the history of Norawas and to honor our founder Micah True and his Message of ‘Run Free’ and all that it encompasses. Please follow along as we continue to update this website and introduce our new projects. We greatly appreciate your help and Korima.
