En 2003, il organisa une course de 50 miles réunissant les indiens Tarahumara du Mexique à quelques-uns des plus grands ultramarathoniens des États-Unis, dans le but d’aider les premiers à préserver leur culture de la course à pied. Il mourut le 27 mars 2012, lors d’une sortie dans la Forêt nationale de Gila.

True's inclusion in the book garnered him some attention in ultrarunning circles, and some readers credited him as their inspiration for taking up the sport. During the 1980s and 90s True spent several months per year trail running in Central America. In 2003 True decided to organize a race for the Tarahumara people in Mexico that would help them preserve their culture and running heritage. True died on March 27, 2012, during a run in the Gila Wilderness, part of the Gila National Forest in southwestern New Mexico. (en) |
