Northern California Craftsman Enjoys A Scenic Backdrop In ‘Endurance Capital’

You may not even be aware that there’s a Northern California city known as the Endurance Capital of the World. Yes, Auburn, with its Gold Rush history and landmark status has been the site of decades of epic events, such as the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, the Tevis Cup 100-Mile Endurance Equestrian Ride and the Auburn Triathlon.

The former mining territory, once rich in gold, boasts natural wealth these days in the form of the Auburn State Regional Park with hiking, camping and whitewater rafting.
