Ultra X Mexico 2019: The Full Race Documentary
Watch the Ultra X Mexico 2019 race documentary. A 250km ultra marathon in the land of the original ultrarunning tribe, the Tarahumara Indians.
In November 2019, a group of runners headed to the Mexican state of Chihuahua to race in the inaugural Ultra X Mexico. The 250km, five day ultra marathon took runners from the “magic town” of Creel to the “magic town” of Batopilas, deep in the Copper Canyons.
It was an incredibly special event, set on the same trails as the famous Caballo Blanco race featured in the book Born to Run and did not follow the script many were expecting…
The 2020 edition will take place between the 7th and 14th November and is limited to 70 participants. Registration is now open and you can find out more by following the link below.
