Two years ago this month I signed up for what was then the Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon. The event changed my life by introducing me to a remarkable group of athletes, the Raramuri, who are tucked away in a remote piece of Mexico. I went there not having any idea of what to expect, and I came home with a mind filled with new images, ideas, and pleasing memories.Now after two years and hundreds of miles run I'm heading back. I still consider myself a novice runner, and I have to admit that after I clicked that register button I thought...I hope it's not so hot this time. But then I remembered all of the great people I met who were helpful and generous with their advise. And I remember the incredible piece of earth were this takes place, and I relax a bit, and I think...okay this is good.
If any of you are looking for a unique event, then meet me in the bottom of the Copper Canyon, March, 2nd, for the Ultra Maraton Caballo Blanco. Bring fun, your best laugh, and an open heart, you won't be disappointed.
