Who we are

Norawas de Rarámuri was established in July of 2009 by several members of a group known as Club Mas Loco.  This group is made up of a seemingly random collection of people from around the world, all brought together through running Caballo Blanco's Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon.

While Caballo Blanco continues his extraordinary work , organizing the race and planning related activities and events, the organizational board of Norawas de Rarámuri is busy on the resource end.  We are working to establish and maintain a flow of resources necessary for the Rarámuri people to strengthen their extraordinary culture. The following Mas Locos comprise the present Board of Directors:

  • Chris Labbe, Chair
  • Andrew Labbe, Vice Chair
  • Deborah Hirsch-Bezanis, Treasurer
  • Brooke Kantor, Secretary
  • Michael French
and, of course
  • Micah True (a.k.a. Caballo Blanco) -- ex officio

In reality,  many other members of Club Mas Loco have inspired and been instrumental in this effort. Through their participation, support and example we are able to reach beyond perceived limits of borders and other apparent divisions.

In the end, however, this small collection of people cannot make a difference without gathering a broad network of Norawas (friends) ... the Rarámuri need you, friend, to join in the effort.
