Castle Peak 100K Race Report- Meggie Inouye
I awoke extra early on race morning to check the Air Quality Index and was pleased to find a number under 150. Smokey air was coming from wildfires from the north and the south putting the race at jeopardy. Favorable winds meant that 2021 Castle Peak 100k would run. The Castle Peak 100k course starts […]
Member Highlight – Krissi Polentz
Introduction by Meggie Inouye When deciding on a Member Highlight this month, many on our board had amazing things to say about Krissi because this woman shows up!

Member Highlight – Dia Davis
Introduction by Meggie Inouye I can’t remember the specific Newbies run that I met Dia, but I soon found out that she too was planning to run Castle Peak 100K.

Donner Party Mountain Kids: Starry Adventures
As we move into December it means there are less daylight hours for typical running adventures. This feels especially hard for working parents or anyone working traditional hours who runs before or after the grind of the day as those hours are dark. In pushing myself to get out there anyways, I have tried to […]
Donner Party Mountain Kids: Eastside Family Adventures
November is the shoulder season… it’s too cold to enjoy the local lakes and the snow has not yet arrived. However, it’s a great time to get some runs in and day hikes with family. The shoulder season is also a time that many choose to get out of town looking for a bit warmer […]
