El Falcon Rojo

Michael, (Mas Loco name ‘El Falcon Rojo’ - inspired by his spirit animal inspiration the Red Tailed Hawk) along with his wife Kimberly (Rojita Bonita) first traveled to the Sierra Tarahumara 15 years ago to run the legendary Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco. Invited by their friend Micah True (aka Caballo Blanco) to run and celebrate with the famed Raramuri athletes, they immediately fell in love with the lands and the peoples of the majestic Copper Canyon.

Having completed over 500 races including over 150 Ultra Marathons Michael found the Ultra Marathon Caballo Blanco to be a run like no other and he knew he and Kimberly would forever do all they could to honor, celebrate and support this event and the Raramuri communities and culture.

Michael co-founded the 501c3 nonprofit True Messages in honor of Micah True that continues and expands the projects and the “Powerful Messages of a simple Messenger” in honor of the Raramuri peoples. Along with his wife, they are blessed to volunteer their time to this inspiring culture.

Michael still runs, including wandering around the canyons and mountains of the Sierra Tarahumara over four months every year. He is forever grateful for all the wisdoms and blessings the lands and his friends in the Sierra have shared with him.
