    Folsom to Auburn

    Welcome to the legendary and historic American River 50 Mile Endurance Run, one of the oldest and most revered ultra races in the country. For decades, this race has tested the strength, endurance, and spirit of runners as they tackle a breathtaking journey from the heart of Sacramento to the rugged trails of Auburn, following the beautiful American River Parkway and offering iconic views of Northern California. If you're not quite ready for the full 50 miles, the American River 25 Mile and 10 Mile distances offer a fantastic way to experience the race's unique atmosphere and scenic routes. Both shorter distances provide a rewarding challenge while allowing runners to enjoy the same stunning landscapes and supportive trail community that make the American River races so special. Whether you're aiming for a new distance or looking for an introduction to endurance running, these races deliver the perfect balance of excitement, beauty, and camaraderie.

    The mission behind...

    Lace Up For Learning is a nonprofit that was started in 2024 by five 8th grade friends who believe in the value of community, the importance of education, and the power of running.

    The mission behind this annual event is to raise money for under resourced classrooms across the greater Sacramento area. In the first two years, participants, donors, and sponsors raised more than $30,000 -- reaching thousands of students, K-12.

    The 5k and 10k courses run on the beautiful, flat paved Parkway Trails in Folsom. The Kids Fun Run includes obstacle elements and takes place on a large grass field. Participants of all levels are welcome - from serious runners to community supporters pushing strollers or walking their dogs.

    We look forward to meeting you on race day - and we appreciate your support for our mission.
