Backyard Ultra World Championships
True Messages was created to continue the ‘Messages’ and projects began by Micah True (El Caballo Blanco) in honor and support of the Raramuri peoples and culture. Most important in all our Messages and projects is discovering opportunities. Opportunities that create options, opportunities that create choices, and opportunities that allow our friends to show and share the beauty and wisdoms of their culture.
We are truly honored to have helped the Backyard Ultra Championships for Mexico come to life. This platform has given our friends in the Sierra Tarahumara a chance to not only show their special endurance running abilities, but also the simple, humble and inclusive community approach they bring to such challenges.

Event Report: Big Dogs Backyard Ultra Mexico (world championship)
Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra World Championship Mexico: October 17-19 Parque de Adventura, Urique Chihuahua Mexico (8,000 feet high in the magical Sierra Tarahumara
What an experience we all had at the first Big Dog Backyard Mexico race and all the Backyard Championship Races throughout the world. It will for sure be a few days that those who ran and those who were following along will not soon forget. With the added excitement and drama of having athletes from over 20 countries participating not only on their own, but also as a team member representing their country, incredible performances and dramatic moments were ongoing. The emotional aspect for those of us watching felt as draining as if we were running!
