About This Race
The 94-kilometer distance represents the event's most substantial challenge while remaining achievable for experienced ultra runners ready to tackle the demanding Sierra Madre terrain over extended time. This distance requires careful pacing through the canyon's elevation changes and technical sections, testing runners' endurance across multiple climatic zones as they traverse the full scope of the Copper Canyons landscape. The 94K serves as an ideal stepping stone for runners seeking a serious ultra experience without committing to the event's longest offering, demanding both physical preparation and respect for the challenging desert mountain environment.
