The Cool-Auburn Pub Run is a free fatass trail run from Cool, California, to downtown Auburn, covering approximately 35 km. It begins in Cool, with event materials indicating Cool Beerwerks or Rosie’s as the start point, and concludes in downtown Auburn, where The Station is noted as the finish. The format is informal and social, not a formal race day.
The course includes pub stops, with sources mentioning either seven or ten drinking locations. While drinking is optional, the beer stops and a lunch break are integrated into the event. A half marathon option and a CAPR Extra option are available for shorter or longer distances. Organizers direct participants to Run Square and a Facebook group for carpooling, pacers, crew, and coordination.
