Course Description
The Auburn Mile is a unique event where participants run, walk, and race on July 4th parade route — with spectators cheering you every step of the way!
Start — Lincoln Way
The gun goes off in the heart of Downtown Auburn, right outside Auburn Running Company. Lincoln Way is electric — parade crowds already lining the sidewalks, cheering from the jump.
Central Square
A left onto High Street and runners pour through Auburn's historic downtown square — an emotional high point of the course.
School Park & Placer High
High Street carries you south through the School Park Preserve and past Placer High School — a shaded, scenic corridor that's a welcome breath before the turnaround.
Turnaround — Gold Country Fairgrounds
At the entrance of the Gold Country Fairgrounds, runners flip 180° and head back north.
Finish at Central Square
Back through the square to the intersection of Cherry and High Street — cheered in by the same parade crowd the whole way home. There's no better finish line in Placer County.
