Get ready for a challenging yet incredibly rewarding adventure on the 10K course at the Auburn Love Trail Race! This scenic route winds through the heart of Auburn’s stunning trail system and packs a serious punch with over 1,000 feet of elevation gain. You'll experience everything from steep climbs and rolling hills to breathtaking ridge views and forested singletrack. This course is NOT stroller friendly.
The course is tough, but the payoff is worth every step. Whether you’re pushing for a PR or simply soaking in the natural beauty, you’ll feel the love (and the burn!) on this unforgettable route.
There will be one aid station located at mile 4, stocked with water, electrolytes, and good vibes to help fuel your climb to the finish.
The 10k has a total time limit of 2hrs, and the cutoff time at the aid station is 1:15hr (19:20 min/mi). Runners who miss the cut off time will be asked to skip the second section of the course and go directly to the finish line. This is for the safety of all participants and due to permit time limits.
Lace up, dig deep, and come earn your post-race celebration—you’ve got this!

5K Course Description – Auburn Love Trail Race
Don’t let the shorter distance fool you—the Auburn Love 5K is a trail race with a kick! This course may be half the distance of the 10K, but it still brings the Auburn-style hills and scenic views that make this race special.
Runners can choose between two course options:
-
The traditional trail 5K, which features beautiful but technical singletrack trails—expect rocks, roots, and elevation. This option is not suitable for strollers.
-
The stroller-friendly 5K, which follows an adjacent route on solid, flat ground. While it's smoother and wider for wheels, it still has plenty of hill action, because hey—it’s Auburn! Stroller participants will start just behind the main 5K group for safety and flow.
Whether you're tackling the trails solo or bringing the whole family for a hill-tough push, this 5K delivers a fun, challenging experience for everyone.

What’s Included
Major Swag
All of STR events are filled with goodies and custom bibs, while we know the killer hills and post race party with plenty of food will make you want to sign up again, we celebrate your finish with major swag. Each STR race has a little different swag because we know nobody needs 14 beer pints, or 12 tshirts.
Aid Stations
All of STR events are full of great aid station with the best available volunteers. The volunteers will help you fill up your bottles and quickly move toward the finish line. Depending on your event distance, our aid stations may include soda, boiled potatoes, candy, gels, electrolyte, salt tablets, and much more.
Cupless Event
Each runner is responsible for bringing their own reusable cup or water bottle. Reusable cups are small, are no problem to carry along while running and will save thousands of cups from being trashed, and possibly blown away littering our beautiful trails. We will have some small collapsible water containers for sale at the event, or we recommend you purchase one in advance at your local running store or online at HydraPouch.
