Auburn is home to some of the most challenging and historic endurance events on the planet, notably the Tevis Cup 100-Mile Endurance Equestrian Ride (est. 1955) and the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run (est. 1976). The Western States Trail, the Auburn State Recreation Area with its vast network of trails and water venue access points, the lakes and rivers, the many regional parks, all make Auburn a destination for endurance athletes of all levels and interests. Due to the longevity, quality, variety and quantity of events held in this spectacular environment, in May, 2003 the Auburn City Council unanimously adopted a proclamation that declared the City of Auburn, CA “The Endurance Capital of the World™”.

Bike Rack Project Gains Momentum!
Spearheaded by the Auburn Trails Alliance and Kelly Davis, this project’s goal is to provide locking bike racks in front of various businesses throughout some of Auburn’s busiest areas. In turn the hope is that vehicle traffic will be reduced due to more people using their bicycles to get around. Read more in this Auburn Journal article.
