Ultra X Mexico is a 250km five day ultramarathon that takes participants to the southwestern part of the state of Chihuahua, the home of the original ultra runners, the Tarahumara, and the spectacular mountain trails of the Copper Canyon as famously written about in “Born to Run”.

The Tarahumara are otherwise known as the Ráramuri, meaning “those who run fast”. Competitors will have a chance to find out the truth of this for themselves.
