Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco 2024 (en Español)
Join us for the 21st Annual Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco: Run Free, Embrace Korima, and Support the Raramuri Communities!
Welcome to the official announcement of the 2024 Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco! In its 21st year, this iconic event continues to bring together runners from all over the world for a remarkable journey through the stunning Sierra Tarahumara. More than just a race, the Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco embodies the spirit of Korima – the Raramuri concept of sharing without expectation – and serves as a platform to support the Raramuri communities and these amazing runners who have been an integral part of this extraordinary event from the very beginning.
The Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco was founded with a noble purpose - to provide assistance and recognition to the Raramuri communities and runners of the Sierra Tarahumara. Inspired by the Raramuri's extraordinary running abilities and their harmonious connection with nature, Micah True, known as El Caballo Blanco, envisioned an event that would celebrate their heritage while promoting cultural exchange and understanding. Korima is at the heart of this event, symbolizing the ethos of sharing, supporting, and uplifting others without expecting anything in return.

Micah said the (Copper Canyon Ultramarathon) Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco was a race created and sponsored by Korima. This is as true today as it nearly 20 years ago when he first had the idea of a run that would support the Raramuri (Tarahumara) community and introduce so many to these special lands and this wonderful community and it’s running culture.

Copper Canyons Endurance Runs
With support from the CCER team and all the International Athletes that made their way down to experience the magic of the Sierra Tarahumara we were able to provide entries. some transportation, dispensias and prize monies for the Marathon and Half Marathon events. Local Covid related restrictions limited Raramuri athlete participation and caused the postponement of the 100 mile, but all turned out great and it was an great event for everyone involved. As always we are honored to do whatever we can to help participate in keeping the great running traditions of the Sierra Tarahumara alive and growing.

These are greatly challenging times for all of us. For some of our friends however, the effects of the Corona Virus has added to an already difficult stretch. Sadly, this has been the case for the Raramuri people and those who call the Copper Canyons home. The most recent impact has been the postponement of the Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco and Los Caballitos Runs (kids races). Micah True created the (then called Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon and later changed to honor his passing) Ultra Caballo Blanco to help introduce the beauty of the Raramuri people, their culture and their lands to endurance athletes around the world
