Micah True, aka Caballo Blanco
The Associated Press is reporting that a foundation has been created to keep the Copper Canyon ultramarathon alive. The 50+ mile race was started in 2003 by Micah True, the ultra-runner also known as Caballo Blanco who started the event in Mexico. True, 58, was found dead in New Mexico earlier this month.
He became widely known in running circles as one of the central figures in the best-selling book “Born to Run,” which told the story of the Tarahumara tribe in Mexico and their members’ penchant for healthy living and long-distance running.

Thank you for putting this information up. Sadly in the mainstream media this story is an after thought.
Not a problem. I know this is important for people who are in to running, fitness and the outdoors. Hopefully the foundation will find success and the race will keep going.
