The route begins in the imposing Copper Canyons and takes you through the picturesque villages of Areponapuchi, San Alonso, and San Rafael. From there, you will ascend to the upper parts of the canyons and begin descending along impressive trails that will test your skills. Along the way, you will cross remote Rarámuri communities, where you can learn about the culture and traditions of these ultradistance runners of the Sierra Tarahumara.
With 2,600 meters of positive elevation gain, the route will allow you to explore various terrain sections, from runnable uphill sections to technical trails with spectacular views of the canyons. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to run alongside the Rarámuri; don’t forget to greet them with a “kuira bá,” the traditional regional greeting that means “we are all one.”
