The park is the site of more sporting endurance events than any other place in the world, giving Auburn the undisputed and internationally acclaimed title of Endurance Capital of the World. Examples include the Western States Endurance Run; the Western States Trail Ride, also known as Tevis Cup Equestrian Ride; American River 50 Mile Endurance Run; American River 50 Mile Equestrian Ride; Way Too Cool 50 Kilometer Endurance Run; Auburn International Half-Ironman Triathlon; Auburn Century 100 Mile Bike Ride, Coolest 24 Hour Mountain Bike Race, Rio Del Lago 100 Mile Endurance Run, Sierra Nevada 50 Mile Endurance Run, and the Coolest Run: Ride & Tie. 

Bad to the Bone Endurance Sports is partnering with Trail Runner Magazine to put on the Trail Runner Ultra Race of Champions (UROC). Those lining up for the 100k race with nearly 13,000′ of total climbing will have a shot at the $10,000 in prize money that goes 5 deep to both men and women. While the goal of the event is to bring together the world’s best ultramarathoners, the event will be open to all runners. The out-and-back UROC will be primarily singletrack (32 miles) with 25 miles of gravel road and 5 miles of pavement. The mixed course, near sea level altitude, and moderate amount of climb should make this course suitable to a mix of runners which makes it all that more exciting for us ultra fans.
