You go, girl!
So much for ergonomically designed sportswear and 500-dollar running shoes…. winner of the Maratón Oxxo K10 2012 Maria Salomé in a traditional Tarahumara running (and eating, and shopping, and child-care, and…) outfit.

While I’m not taking this post down, I think that “Maria Solomé” herself didn’t exist… those who commented below had good reasons for thinking so, and — something I should have noticed (but didn’t) — was the “patronizing” caption that also suggests it’s false. Had someone name “Maria Solomé” run in the race, she would have a surname (well, two surnames in Mexico) and as an adult woman they would have been reported. Identifying an adult by just her given name would be to treat her as a child… or… a romanticized “child of nature” as too many — even when well-meaning — still see indigenous people. (5 June 2013)
It is a hoax. Oxxo half marathon will be held on October 7th in Chihuahua. They might be talking about a 10K Oxxo race held on April 15th, in Queretaro. But the photo is not real, because #1107 belonged to Ximena Navarro, and she arrived 77 in her category… 5K.
it is not a hoax, do your research first.http://www.elheroico.com/2012/septiembre/05/Gana+Maria+Salome+la+carrera+Oxxo+de+10+kilometros.html
it IS a hoax, there is no such race… oxxo only makes 21K races.
Don’t believe everything u see on the Internet

Here’s the results list of the so called “Tarahumaras”

First place on the list is “Silvia Castillo Ramirez” and she was placed 35th place, who apparently is the name of this girl not Maria Salome.
