Canyons Endurance Runs by UTMB

Race-day logistics differ by distance, so plan ahead.

The 100K starts at 5:00 a.m. at China Wall.

In 2026, shuttles ran from the Gold Country Fairgrounds parking lot in Auburn from 2:45 a.m. to 3:45 a.m.,

so the easiest plan is to stay in Auburn the night before and work around the shuttle times.

The 100 miles starts at 12:00 p.m., and shuttles began boarding at 9:45 a.m. You collect your bib at the expo,

and for the 100K and 100 miles there's no pickup on race morning, so get it done by the day before.

Down in the canyon bottoms, the course gets quite hot in the middle of the day, while the start is chilly at dawn, so bring layers.

Poison oak lines the trail, so watch your footing whenever you step off the course;

if you brush against it, the official advice is to wash with dish soap.

The time limit is 20 hours for the 100K and 35 hours for the 100 miles, and the section time limit are on the aid station chart.

Family and crew can meet you at spots such as Michigan Bluff and Foresthill.

For lodging, downtown Auburn, where the finish is, is the most convenient.

The times above are from the 2026 edition, so check again when the 2027 runner guide comes out.

The 2027 race runs April 22 to 25, and registration closes on the night of April 18. You can defer your entry to the following year once,

but there are no refunds, so check your schedule before you sign up.

Register within 50 days of the race and you won't get a personalized bib or apparel.
