Auburn, Endurance Capital of the World!
Auburn is home to some of the most challenging and historic endurance events on the planet. The vast network of dirt roads and trails, as well as the rivers and lakes, in the Auburn State Recreation Area and surrounding Sierra Nevada make Auburn a destination for endurance athletes of all levels and interests. Many come to compete in endurance competitions that are well-established and internationally famous, notably the Tevis Cup 100-Mile Endurance Equestrian Ride (est. 1955) and the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run (est. 1976). Due to these events and their spectacular environment, in May of 2003 the Auburn City Council unanimously adopted a proclamation that declared the City of Auburn “The Endurance Capital of the World”.
The Endurance Capital Committee was founded as an advisory committee to determine ways to use the City’s new tagline “Auburn, Endurance Capital of the World” after it was approved by the City Council in May of 2003. And in November, 2004, the City gave this committee the status of an official City of Auburn Committee.
