]]> Save the dates April 28 & 29, 2023, and register to run your chosen distance, or volunteer for and/or spectate at the four The Canyons by UTMB events to be held on Auburn’s spectacular trails in the Auburn State Recreation Area. This year a 100-mile distance has been added to the 100K, 50K and 25K events slate. All but the 25K are UTMB World Series events and can assist runners in their quests to compete in one of these events held annually at the UTMB Championships in Chamonix France late August into early September.

There will be a lively 2-Day Expo attended by local and out-of-town vendors; you can be assured that the familiar green tent of the Auburn Endurance Capital Committee will be there with its Wheel of Fortune and lots of cool Endurance Capital logo’d giveaways. Stay tuned for updates and join us!

Did you know that The Canyons and the Western States Endurance Run, both based in Auburn, are 2 of the 35 globally located UTMB World Series events?!

In late 2020, following Auburn 5th Grader Emilie Emerson’s presentation to the Auburn City Council suggesting the City fund the purchase of water bottle filling stations/fountains to place in strategically selected locations for the needs of the many endurance athletes who live or visit the area, the Endurance Capital Committee was tasked by the City to settle on a pilot location for the unit. Then they needed to find the appropriate unit, and purchase it with a portion of ECC budget funds. After much debate about the location, followed by the need to find not just a U.S ADA compliant unit but also a California ADA compliant unit, the task was accomplished.

The location settled on is next to the Overlook Park where the Tevis Cup Trail Ride finish area is undergoing a massive upgrade in a partnership between Auburn State Recreation Area and the Western States Trail Foundation. This location is also a hugely popular start/midpoint/finish for equestrians, hikers, and runners throughout the year. Having a CA-ADA compliant unit that is also highly vandal-resistant in this location will service a very large number of people as they begin, pass through, or end their treks into the canyons. The letter shown below was sent to the City of Auburn’s Endurance Capital Committee from the President of the Western States Foundation to thank the ECC for this contribution. Watch for updates about its installation that will occur sometime during the location’s renovation.

The ECC will be seeking out more locations and fund additional units, as it continues to carry out young Emilie’s will-received suggestion.
