Mid-Morning Group Trail Run @ Drunken Deer
Tickets
Apr 27 @ 9:30 am – 11:00 am
DPMR members on a group run (credit, Steve Woo)

Join us Tuesday at 9:30 am for a weekly “no-host unofficial” social trail run on the various trails in the Tahoe area. We’ll decide on mileage based upon group interest at the trailhead. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.

This week we are heading to the Drunken Deer area. Park on the side of Carpenter Valley Road near Alder Creek Road (39.3690, -120.2284).

In order to make these runs fun and safe for everyone, we need all participants to follow current state and county guidelines. In particular, these runs are limited to current DPMR members (to ensure a “stable cohort”), bring a face covering for the trailhead before and after the run, and 6-feet of physical separation will be necessary during the run. If guidelines change in the future, we may be able to invite non-members.

Donner Party Mountain Runners is a grassroots non-profit running club with a mission to inform, inspire, and connect mountain runners in Truckee-Tahoe. Group runs are free to members and membership is required to attend. Join online today at https://donnerpartymountainrunners.com/join-now/

Contact Renee Jacobs at Renee@DonnerPartyMountainRunners.com to let her know you are coming, or if you have any questions.

DPMR Newbies Run Club Second Session, Co-hosted by Tahoe Mountain Sports @ Prosser Dam trails
Tickets
Apr 27 @ 5:15 pm – 7:15 pm

Come out and join Steve Buelna and crew for introductory running on a variety of local dirt and paved trails for a fun group run specifically designed for the beginning/mellow runner. Whether you are looking to learn some new places to run and meet some new running buddies or have plans to race your first half marathon, the DPMR Newbies Run Club is for you! The primary focus for these runs is to offer an inviting run option that can help to get newer runners stoked on running.

Training sessions will be on Tuesdays evenings, starting at 6pm. This second run will be on dirt, in the Prosser Dam area. Meet at the west end of the dam (39.3769283,-120.1420711) on Prosser Dam Road in Truckee. Check the DPMR Facebook page for reminders about the run a day or so prior to the event, along with a location and conditions update.

In order to make these runs fun and safe for everyone, we need all participants to follow current state and county guidelines. In particular, these runs are limited to current DPMR members (to ensure a “stable cohort”), face coverings are required before and after the run at the trailhead/parking areas, and 6-feet of physical separation will be necessary during the run. Also, please note that this is a DPMR sponsored group run subject to the DPMR Code of Conduct, so please leave furry friends at home. If guidelines change, we may be able to invite non-members.

What to bring (other than a face covering)? Running shoes and a desire to have fun! If you have a watch and a water bottle, you can bring that too.  Be laced up and ready to go as the run starts at 6:00 PM sharp! The first run will be exactly 30 minutes, regardless of how fast you run. And if you have the time, hang out afterwards to socialize over beverages at an acceptable social distance of 6 feet or more (beverages compliments of DPMR). Rumor has it there might even be some shoe giveaways to be had! Tahoe Mountain Sports will also be doing On and Garmin demos before the runs, starting at 5:15.

Sunday Fun Runs @ TBD

May 16 all-day

 

DPMR members running the Donner Lake Rim TrailWe are super excited to offer “no-host unofficial,” dog-friendly, Sunday fun runs for a handful of weekends this spring! These runs are designed for all levels and all paces. We encourage everyone to join! We will meet at the designated time and location then head out to the trails. As we get going, feel free to each take your own pace and own distance. Eliza Wendel will be at the trail head 10-15 minutes prior to the start and will hold down the slower to moderate pace for all of the newer and more casual runners. The primary focus for these runs is to meet your fellow DPMR members (and dogs), enjoy the trails, and have fun! Each person is encouraged to either stick to the planned route or feel free to add on  some distance and/or pump up the speed as it suits them.
