Mauricio (Mau) Diaz (he/him) is a storyteller, an ultrarunner, an adventurer, and a connector.

He embraces a diversity of ideas and experiences and encourages people to question our own values and open our minds to new ways of thinking and being. Mauricio values connection rather than competition. He is a community builder and hopes for running to foster deep transformations with a strong focus on cultural immersion. Mauricio is curious, present, intentional, reflective and playful.
We talk about the beautiful, mystical experience of connecting with his dog, Aire. Mauricio shares about his gifts of curiosity, spark, and connecting/community. His curiosity is led by his passion and by his heart guidance. Mauricio's parents encouraged him to go and experience the world and he has done that ever since. He shares about how storytelling is about the connections you make and the feelings you can produce. During an ultra race, he experienced a connection to one-ness that was full of energy in the desert and evoked an emotion of thankfulness. He talks about how distance and time are secondary to running. Aire-Libre is storytelling and connection through movement. PLEASE check this out!! They design movement experiences for all levels across the world. "Discover the world through movement." He is practicing setting boundaries and limits and being able to say "No". Mauricio is curious...what comes next?... He is grateful that he is able to take the next breath and it will be okay; it will always be okay!
"Life is the total sum of each of your individual experiences." -Mauricio Diaz
