About This Race

The 38-kilometer distance strikes a compelling middle ground, offering runners a substantial trail challenge without the extreme demands of the longer ultra options. This route provides enough distance and elevation to test endurance and pacing strategies across the canyon terrain, making it well-suited for runners transitioning from shorter trail races or those seeking a challenging day out without multi-day recovery. At this length, runners experience the full character of the Chihuahua landscape while maintaining the ability to push pace through the technical sections that define this rugged course.

Notable Features

Set in Mexico's Copper Canyons, the race honors the Rarámuri people's incredible running tradition while offering runners a chance to experience one of North America's most dramatic and culturally significant landscapes. As a UTMB World Series event, it combines world-class race organization with authentic local culture and stunning high-desert canyon terrain.
