  Course Information

  Saturday, April 11th 2026: 8:30 am

  Your journey begins at the beautiful Auburn Overlook, where the Wild Flowers 10K takes off into some of the most scenic trails in Northern California. This fun loop has a little bit of everything — smooth downhills, peaceful flats, and (because this is Auburn) a reminder that if you go down… you will go back up.

  You’ll experience sections of gorgeous single-track, rolling stretches perfect for finding your rhythm, and viewpoints that will make you stop and say “wow” or at least pretend you’re stopping for the view and not to catch your breath.

  We’ll have two fully stocked aid stations, a cheerful crew directing you every step of the way, and… breaking news…Sasquatch has officially confirmed his appearance. (He promised to cheer loudly, but we can’t guarantee he won’t photobomb.)

  Get ready for fun, adventure, and the most unforgettable 10K you’ll ever run.

  Join us for a course preview training run on March 29 at 8:00 AM, starting at Wild Runners Auburn (198 Sacramento St, Auburn, CA). We’ll explore the route together so you’ll know exactly what to expect on race day.
