| Summary |
*Coarse Language*The final challenge is the ultimate trial of pain and endurance - an exhausting, high altitude, long distance run for sixteen kilometers through the Mexican mountains against the Tarahumara tribe, while throwing a homemade hoop. The Tarahumara have adapted to the thin mountain air and their extraordinary lung capacity and stamina makes them among the best endurance runners in the world.The living conditions are also the harshest of the competition; this is oneof the poorest areas in Mexico with scorching hot days and freezing nights and the area is crawling with scorpions and snakes. The women feel the pressure.The terrain is extreme with the women running over rocks, tree roots, branches and steep drops. Making things a little more difficult, the women will be wearing the traditional costume as well as sandals made from old tyres. With the end in sight, tensions between them are boiling over.How will our athletes cope with the altitude, harsh conditions and rough terrain as they fight it out to the Last Woman Standing?PRODUCTION DETAILS:A BBC Production, series producer Sophie Todd |
