Introduction by Aude Hofleitner, DPMR Board Member I think I first met Tracy at the bottom of Johnson’s Canyon, which I later learnt was her favorite trail. She was just starting as I was finishing her run, training for Broken Arrow. What struck me from that interaction was her love for the trails and the […]
Member Highlights
Member Highlight – Will Pringle
Intro by Andrei Soroker, DPMR MemberThe Newbies run on April 30, 2024 (along Alder Creek and 89) had one of those switchbacky routes where you occasionally get to encounter the folks running wa-a-ay ahead of you on their way back, and that’s exactly what Will was doing when I first saw him, and he waived!It […]
Member Highlight – Pamela Sinclair
Intro by Bruna Bradford, DPMR President I can’t pinpoint the exact moment I met Pam, but I’ll never forget the energy she brought to our post-run socials on Tuesday nights. Pam is the definition of a “Tuesday Social” athlete. While many are focused on ultra-marathon PRs or lightning-fast splits, Pam is there for the pure […]
Member Highlight – Adam Broderick
Introduction from Chris Cloyd, DPMR Founder and former Board Member Adam Broderick is a proud dad and a wildly enthusiastic runner who loves to adventure as much as he loves to race. You can often catch him on singletrack around Tahoe, smiling while volunteering at a local running community event, or deep in the High […]
Member Highlight – Jon Glassman
Intro by Leah Cassetta, DPMR Member When I think of Jon, two images come to mind: him dressed as Ken for the Halloween run, and him always running with Cliff gummies. Both pretty perfectly capture who Jon is as a person and a runner—laid back, great company, while also being focused on his goals. I […]
Member Highlight – Anna Yip
Introduction by Donner Party Board Member, Marta Darby A few things were clear when I first met Anna at our 2025 Pub Run: she’s full of stoke and a friendly, humble badass. So when Anna mentioned that she was looking for pacers for the Rio Del Lago 100 miler the following weekend, I didn’t hesitate […]
Member Highlight – Krishna Kumaar Natarajan
Intro by Aude Hofleitner Before our paths crossed in Truckee, Krishna and I connected through the run club at work. I was rarely able to join the events but really enjoyed connecting online with the rest of the community where people shared achievements, knowledge and support. It’s been fun to see Krishna now enjoy our […]
Member highlight – Gianna Zappettini
Intro by DPMR Treasurer, Kaeleigh Reynolds Gianna’s approach to running tells you a lot about who Gianna is as a friend. She’s in it for the long haul, she’s definitely brought a treat (electrolyte jelly beans??) to share, and she truly believes we can do hard things. I’ve always loved to run, but when I met […]
Member Highlight – Morgan Hawkins
Intro by Aude HofleitnerI first met Morgan in 2019 at the Back on my Feet fundraiser, a week before we both ran The North Face 50K in Marin/San Francisco (and we recently realized we had both ran our first 50K the year before at the Woodside Ramble as TNF had been canceled due to smoke […]
Member Highlight – Tania Noguera
Intro by Aude HofleitnerThis month, I am sitting down with Tania Noguera. Tania started running last summer thanks to the DPMR newbies group. She continued on to run her first 10K ever (!) and one leg of the Pt Mariah Marathon. This year, she ran the 18k at Broken Arrow (under quite windy conditions!!) and followed […]
