Auburn, California has been known as the "Endurance Capital of the World" since 2003. The city is home to three of the world's oldest and most prestigious endurance events: the Tevis Cup, a 100-mile equestrian endurance ride, the UTMB Canyons Endurance Runs, and the Western States 100-mile endurance run.
The world famous Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful lakes surrounded by the snow capped mountains. It's a beautiful drive from Auburn and a must see if you are in the area.
