Over the last few years, we’ve noticed a build-up of trail running activity in June in the Truckee-Tahoe area. It so happens that we are incredibly fortunate to have two world-class mountain/trail/ultra running events on back-to-back weekends, and many of us are regular participants and volunteers at these two events: the Broken Arrow Skyrace and […]
2024 Mountain Running Fest Recap
DPMR just wrapped up the amazing and fun first year of the Mountain Running Fest, a celebration of trail and mountain running in the greater Truckee & North Tahoe area. We are bias, but we think it was 12 of the best days of mountain/trail/ultra running! It ran from June 18th-29th with DPMR hosting events […]

Member Highlight – Dave Cahill
Introduction by Steve Woo: “I got to know Dave as he started showing up for our Tuesday social runs. Growing up in Switzerland with a bit of a Nordic skiing background, and my first impression was that of a solid runner and all around good guy. By that I mean he runs up near the […]
Vall de Boi 62k Race Report
Finally, our summer plans were set to visit Spain and visit my wife’s family, and explore more of the region that we hadn’t seen on previous visits. This trip has been 7 years in the making, as our 2020 trip was (of course) cancelled. But that gave me plenty of time to also be cataloging […]

Snowshoe Running Under the Full Moon
On Friday evening, January 6th, a group of runners, hikers, and a lone skier gathered at Martis Dam Road to explore the valley around the reservoir by moonlight. Headlamps were worn but hardly needed as the cloud cover thinned. This photo gallery tells a great story… Snowshoe running season continues into February as we look […]
Winter is Here: Where Will You Run?
After a solidly wonderful snow at the beginning on November, runners are already pinging each other to determine day-to-day trail conditions in Truckee and beyond. Figuring out how to still get your runs in, particularly if you prefer it not be on pavement, becomes an art in balancing word-of-mouth reports, DPMR updates, and timing needed […]
Recap: Another Glorious Annual DPMR Pub Run
Once again, board member Chris Cloyd laid out a beautiful, fun, adventurous course for the DPMR pub run on Sunday, October 23. Starting at a cold Meek’s Bay trailhead at 8am with a rousing beer toast, a group of hardy runners took off up the trail on their way to Olympic Valley, with a halfway […]
Adventure Report: The Full Evo Loop
The Evolution Loop in the Eastern Sierras (aka “Evo Loop”) has been on my list for a few years now, but each year something comes up and I haven’t been able to fit it in. That changed after a run conversation with Dan Brounstein about fall plans following his big TRT100 outing turned into a […]
