Quick facts
- Trail half measuring about 13.6 miles with roughly 2,465 feet of climbing.
- More than half the route runs on the Western States Trail.
- No Hands Bridge crossing over the North Fork American River.
- Small field, with shorter trail distances starting alongside the half.
Course
The route leaves Overlook Park, drops toward Robie Point, crosses No Hands Bridge over the North Fork American River, and climbs toward Cool before turning back. More than half the distance sits on the Western States Trail, and the finish comes after roughly 2,465 feet of gain.
Race-day weather
Late September in the American River canyon starts cool and heats quickly once the climb out begins. Shade is uneven and the return leg lands in the warmest part of the morning, so early restraint pays more here than on a road half.
About the Auburn Half Marathon
Brazen Racing built this race on the canyon trails that host Western States, and it rewards runners comfortable with sustained climbing. Fields stay small by road-half standards, which fits a route that spends more time on singletrack than on pavement.
