Canyons Endurance Run Results 2022
On Saturday, April 23, the 2022 Canyons Endurance Runs by UTMB® became the very first UTMB® World Series event to take place in the United States. The event welcomed over 850 participants from 15 countries, regions, and territories to the birthplace of mountain ultras and the historic gold-rush town of Auburn, California. Offering three demanding courses of 100km, 50km, and 25km, elite and passionate runners from around the world were treated to some of the most spectacular racing on the planet through the northern foothills of the Sierra Nevada range, utilizing the most scenic and challenging sections of the iconic Western States Trail, home of the world’s oldest 100-mile ultramarathon.
With the iconic foothills of the Sierra Nevada as the backdrop, the 2022 Canyons Endurance Runs by UTMB marked a new day in trail running by becoming the first UTMB World Series event to take place in the United States. In it’s inaugural year, the UTMB World Series was formed by The IRONMAN Group, global leader in mass endurance events, and UTMB® Group, the leader and driving force behind the development of trail running, to unite the trail running community by bringing together many of the best international events on the planet to provide exclusive access to the sport’s pinnacle event, UTMB® Mont-Blanc.
