Caballo Blanco's Plan for Scott Jurek

Caballo Blanco finally shows us the reason for all of his and the author's random tangents, and reveals to us his plan, a plan to get some of America's greatest ultra-runners to race the best of the Tarahumara on their home turf. He realizes that this will be extremely difficult, so he asks the author to help him make it happen, suggesting that he write magazine articles about the event so that the concept gets some publicity.

Scott Jurek in Action

Caballo believes that the way to make his plan succeed is to get Scott Jurek, America's greatest ultra-runner, to agree to participate in the event. He believes that if people find out that Jurek is going to participate in the event, then more ultra-runners will want in on the action. Since Scott Jurek is almost as mysterious as the Tarahumara themselves and goes out of his way to challenge himself, Caballo believes he will accept. Then again, Caballo's sanity, in my opinion and probably that of others, is pretty questionable, so you never know.
