About the Ultra Caballo Blanco (CCUM)

"We come together in Las Barrancas del Cobre to create peace and harmony, sharing with/of all that is provided to us by our Mother Earth. -Caballo Blanco

In honoring all former traditions of this 50-mile foot race, both cash prizes and food vales (vouchers), are rewarded to the top finishers. Runners completing each loop, receive vouchers which provides maize, beans, rice, flour and non-GMO seed corn for their families. This reward ensures nutritional sustenance to both the physical and cultural survival of the Raramuri people. The celebration also includes the Corrida de los Caballitos Kids’ Run on March 2, 2013, a race for the children of the Canyons, awarding all children finisher medals, shirts and school supplies.

The Caballo Blanco "Copper Canyon" Ultra Marathon is Directed by Ultrarunners Maria Walton and philanthropic race organizer Josue Stephens, founder and director of the Fuego y Agua Ultramarathon in Nicaragua.
