Some clubs do pub runs. DPMR does pub marathons, at minimum. The 3rd Annual Pub run featured Tahoe Mountain Brewing Company from their Tahoe City location to a fun finish at the Truckee location. Almost all dirt trails! Here are a few shots from the festive finish by Helen Pelster.

The Inaugural Donner Party Half Marathon & 10k took place on Saturday, July 14, 2018, and drew a great cross-section of runners from first-time trail racers to runners training for 100-mile races.

DPMR Snowshoe Run :: Family Edition
We didn’t plan it that way, but it turned into one of those fabulous family events where I couldn’t put my camera away. DPMR member Ben let me know that his teen daughter would be joining us. Then, the night before, I heard that Ryan and Amber were planning to join with their little one. […]

We met up at Van Norden, first crossing the frozen meadow to access the snowy forest. There, out of the wind, Coach Peter helped everyone […]

Train Tunnels Run – DPMR Member Party
First of all, I’m what could best be described as a “casual runner.” If I’m totally honest with myself, most of the runs I attempt in life are at the behest of my wife (now an official ultra-runner), and involve some pushing and prodding, or in some cases a simple “you’re doing this,” and off […]
