Mind Over Mountains is a trail running event in Auburn, California on November 14, 2026. All distances start and finish at Auburn CrossFit and use trails around Robie Point and the American River Canyon. The event lists multiple course options that use single track, river views, creek crossings, and canyon ascents.

The half marathon adds a 0.9 mile ascent called K2 and out-and-back single track sections including Wendell T. Robie Trail. The 50K continues beyond the half marathon route with two distinct loops that include the Olmstead Trail, Rim Trail, Knickerbocker Creek Trail, and the Salt Creek Loop Trail before returning to Auburn CrossFit.
