On August 25th and 26th, ten DPMR members took part in the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) races capping off months of hard training and preparation, overcoming adversity, COVID, the challenges of traveling eight time zones, and acclimating to and navigating foreign countries where they would find their respective start lines. For those unfamiliar, […]

Celebrating Some of our Badass Local Women
As the first flurries reach the Tahoe peaks and golden fall colors are starting to line up the trails, we are celebrating an incredible summer of adventures and inspiration. You may have followed the DPMR runners making their way to Europe for UTMB, or the 100-mile début of Dan Brounstein at the TRT Endurance Run. […]
Book of the Month: Do Hard Things by Steve Magness
You may already be familiar with Steve Magness and some of his previous books such as Peak Performance or The Passion Paradox. One of the main themes in his books that I resonate with is the parallels between running and life: resilience, how to set goals, how to push our limits, how to build longevity, […]
2022 Annual DPMR Pub Run
by Chris Cloyd It’s that time of year again! And by “that time”, I mean time to run a 50k to the bar with all of our running friends. This year’s annual DPMR Pub Run will be held on October 23, from Meeks Bay (Meek Creek Trailhead across from the Meeks Bay Resort) to Auld […]

Got Energy?
Energy is currency to do the things we love to do each day. Yet, like money, it can sometimes feel like we never have enough. Food and supplement companies create products to help us optimize energy, sleep and processes that may help improve energy. But what is energy? Nutritionally speaking and what people think of […]
Trail Stewardship: Fixing The Emigrant Trail
In 2021, DPMR adopted three local trails through the Truckee Trails Foundation – the Emigrant Trail, the Mt. Judah Loop Trail, and the Warren Lake Trail (Castle Peak 100k sponsors this one) – with the responsibility to scout trail conditions in the spring, report any issues, and work with TTF to clean the trails up […]
Book of the Month: Running Man by Charlie Engle
After some adventures in Antarctica with The Impossible First last month, I am continuing with the theme of memoirs but bringing you (at least partially) to much warmer places with multiple time finisher of Badwater 135 Charlie Engle. One of the reasons I tend to enjoy reading memoirs is that they provide a reflection on […]
Ask the Board – What Running Shoes are you Loving Right Now?
It seems like runners are always in search of the perfect shoe. Just when you find one, the manufacturer changes the design, or it gets discontinued, or you realize it’s causing an injury or…. and your search resumes. Unfortunately, running shoes are highly personal. So, anyone that suggests they can tell you what the right […]
