Caballo Blanco Comes to Moscow
by Kelly Doroshenk, posted 5/22/2011 7:51:25 PM
Saturday, the Palouse Road Runners sponsored a presentation by Caballo Blanco here in Moscow.  He is one of the central people in the book Born To Run.  His talk went over his personal running history and his affection for the Tarahumara, the legendary ultra runners from the Copper Canyon in Mexico, and how and why he started the Copper Canyon Ultra. It was great seeing a mystical "character" from a book in person, and see how down to earth and truly caring of a person he is.  Today, John and I did a ten mile run, and I'm sure that after listening to him speak, we both felt motivated by the Tarahumara!

I am sure he was very impressed with meeting you and Kelly - the ultra physical specimens of Moscow Idaho.  He will probably write a book on you two.

That's so awesome!  For some reason I pictured him as being taller.

He is taller, he was sort of sitting on the edge of a table when we got that picture taken.
