The 50 mile race sponsored by the indigenous Tarahumara people of Norther Mexico, the Ultra Caballo Blanco, is just around the corner, with the 2014 edition taking place on March 2.
Born to Run, the running book by Christopher McDougall, immortalized the race.
The race takes place in the mountains near the Copper Canyon in the north of Mexico. With the success of McDougall's book, running this race has become a dream for many a long distance runner.
Before you book your plane and train ticket to run, ask yourself: Am I ready to race 80 kilometers (a few steps shy of 50 miles) over rugged mountain terrain? This may not be the race for your average marathoner, rather it's a challenge taken up by that special ultra runner with a real gleam in their eye.
