On Saturday, April 23, the 2022 Canyons Endurance Runs by UTMB became the very first UTMB World Series event to take place in the United States.
The event welcomed over 850 participants from 15 countries, regions, and territories to ‘the birthplace of mountain ultras’ and the historic gold-rush town of Auburn, California.
Offering three demanding courses of 100km, 50km, and 25km, runners from around the world were treated to some challenging racing through the northern foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. The course utilized some of the most scenic and challenging sections of the iconic Western States Trail, home of the world’s oldest 100-mile race.
