Last year, Cardinal Edward Egan of New York challenged runners to bring the torch from Mexico to New York.
Munoz will run part of the 64-mile stretch from Corpus Christi to Beeville, and she may be doing it alone.
"When I first registered, I joked about running 10 miles . . . but I was just joking," she laughed. "I could probably run about 5 if I had to, but not the whole thing."
Yvonne Garza, who is handling registration for the run's Corpus Christi home base, said as of Thursday afternoon Munoz was the only person signed up to run.
"We have had a lot of calls, but no one else has come in to sign up," Garza said. "I think they heard Beeville and got nervous because they thought they had to run the whole thing."
Joe De La Garza of the Our Lady of Guadalupe Society, who is helping to sponsor the event locally, said runners are only asked to complete as many miles as they can and then another runner will take over. He encouraged people to come out and participate.
"We need to show our support for our fellow Latinos and for our culture," he said.
