Auburn Endurance Challenge 100
Updated 12/15/2016; please check back for updates.
AUBURN ENDURANCE CHALLENGE 100
100 Miles of Distance or 100 Hours of Aerobic Activity IN ONE YEAR!
Presented by the City of Auburn’s Endurance Capital of the World Committee,
Auburn Fit, Placer Co. Visitors Center, and Auburn Recreation District
Get Auburn Moving!
Auburn officially adopted its tagline, “Endurance Capital of the World™” in 2003.
It recognizes Auburn as the home of many world-class events and athletes, and especially our 100-mile signature events: the Tevis Cup and the Western States Endurance Run. Auburn’s spectacular environment is the primary reason why these amazing activities take place here and why extraordinary athletes live here (or wished they did!).
Recognizing all this, the Auburn City Council created the Endurance Capital Committee (ECC). The ECC members understand that not everyone wants to try to tackle the 100-mile distance in one day or perform 100 consecutive hours of aerobic activity! Since most of us can accomplish this in one year, the Committee developed the Auburn Endurance Challenge 100 to bring a realistic goal into a fitness program.
In so doing we hope to introduce our community to all that Auburn offers to achieve a healthy lifestyle: our wonderful City, its nearby trails and parks, and its abundance of fitness-related organizations and businesses. We hope the Auburn Endurance Challenge 100 will provide you with a fun and unique incentive to “get moving”!

Your Rewards!
Rules (just a few…)
- Record only those miles or hours you have achieved after signing up.
- All 100 miles or hours must be completed within one year of your sign up date.
- People who achieve several 100-mile distances or 100-hour activities within one year will receive for an award for each.
- This is an honor system program – only you will know if your data is correct. It is always to your benefit to have extra time or distance rather than less.
- Before starting your Challenge, consult with your physician, explain your plan to begin this program, and follow the instructions your physician gives you.
Tips
- Start your program slowly. There is no rush – you have all year! Doing too much too soon is liable to cause discomfort, or even worse, injury. You may become discouraged and not continue.
- Get together with some friends and do your Challenge together. Company is one of the best incentives to stick with a fitness program.
- Be sure you have the proper clothing, shoes and equipment.
- Consider finding a qualified instructor to assist you with your program. Performing your activity correctly will enhance the fitness benefits you will receive.
- If you are going to venture onto our local trails, be sure you plan carefully by checking out maps, the terrain, the weather, and advice from others. Click here for the many maps and safety/trail etiquette tips available on this website.
