Ramirez Family to participate in the Born to Run Ultras 2022
The Ramirez family is a treasure of the Sierra Tarahumara. A living representation of all that is special about the Raramuri people and their running culture. Every member of the family possesses extraordinary endurance running talent, but with humility it is not personal accolades they seek, their focus is to honor the role running has in the Raramuri community and share those traditions with everyone. They desire to pass along the meanings, expressions and importance running has for the Raramuri and its connection with the Earth and one another.

Copper Canyons Endurance Runs
With support from the CCER team and all the International Athletes that made their way down to experience the magic of the Sierra Tarahumara we were able to provide entries. some transportation, dispensias and prize monies for the Marathon and Half Marathon events. Local Covid related restrictions limited Raramuri athlete participation and caused the postponement of the 100 mile, but all turned out great and it was an great event for everyone involved. As always we are honored to do whatever we can to help participate in keeping the great running traditions of the Sierra Tarahumara alive and growing.

Honoring Miguel Lara Viniegra
On March 25th we honored Miguel Lara Viniegra. This young man is an inspiration. He is one of the most successful endurance runners in all of Latin America but it is his character and approach to all of life that endears him to so many. Kind, humble, and giving he has become the pride of not only the local Raramuri communities and Urique, but also Chihuahua and all of Mexico.
Remembrance Run
As you may be aware, thanks to all those that support True Messages we had been able to secure Micah’s ‘Establo del Caballo Blanco’ (Micah’s old humble home in the Batopilas Canyon). We are excited to announce that it will soon become a museum of sorts and place to come start a run, or a hike to Urique with Arnulfo Quimare (who will be the caretaker) or a local Raramuri guide, or just a place to visit and share a Message or two.
