Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco

About the event

The Ultra Caballo Blanco Marathon, orchestrated by True Messages alongside the Municipality of Urique in Chihuahua, Mexico, stands as an unparalleled endurance challenge and cultural immersion experience. This prestigious event was founded by Micah True—known affectionately as "Caballo Blanco"—with a vision to unite runners from around the globe with the Raramuri people, whose lands are steeped in natural beauty and rich traditions.
The Ultra Caballo Blanco offers three distinct distances: an awe-inspiring 100-mile journey through the Sierra Tarahumara mountains; a classic 50-mile ultra that is one of the most iconic runs in North America; and a marathon and half-marathon, both of which are daunting yet rewarding challenges. The event is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and the opportunity to run alongside approximately 600-800 Raramuri athletes who have honed their endurance skills over generations.
Participants will find themselves immersed not only in grueling terrain but also in a vibrant cultural weekend filled with local traditions, music, dance, and storytelling. The event's organizers work closely with Mas Locos worldwide to ensure that runners receive the support they need before, during, and after the race week.
To ease travel logistics, True Messages collaborates with local businesses to offer comprehensive "all-inclusive" packages for accommodation and transportation within the Sierra Tarahumara region. These arrangements make it easier for participants to fully embrace the experience without worrying about the practicalities of getting there.
The Ultra Caballo Blanco is more than just a race; it's an invitation into the heart of Mexico’s rugged beauty, cultural heritage, and community spirit.
Join runners from around the world in this unforgettable adventure that promises to challenge your limits while enriching your soul.
