Copper Canyon Ultramarathon

The Tarahumara Indians are the infamous barefoot runners and the excentric and energetic Caballo Blanco (Micah True) has become the promoter of this incredible race on Tarahumara lands.

So each year runners of some questionable sanity train and the catch the Copper Canyon train into the Sierra Madres to this 54 mile waltz in the park. Just a little rock or two, a few ups and downs , no problem….NOT!!!!

The Copper Canyon Ultramarathon runs the first Sunday each March right down there in Urique at the bottom of the canyon. Here an Authentic Copper canyon group takes a break at the Gallego overlook, some 4,500 ft up!
