The Spirit
The Spirit of La Ruta
LA RUTA, founder Urbina is fond of saying, “Is more than just a race.

Juicing Your Body into Shape before the Big Race
Diet and body conditioning is one of the most important factors determining athletic performance in long distance endurance events, yet this is something that many athletes do not take seriously enough. It is common knowledge that food fuels the body and that you need to put the right fuel in to reach peak performance, but what may surprise many people is that meat, dairy, and the wrong type of carbohydrates can actually hamper performance by making the body unresponsive and sluggish. That is why many top athletes are now looking to the power of juicing to give the body a huge performance boost in the days leading up to a big event.
