I had the pleasure of interviewing DPMR Linda Powell of Susanville for this month’s Member Highlight. Raised in the Paraguayan jungle, Race Director of the Paiute Meadows Trail Run, and very involved in the trail running community, Linda truly embodies the “Unafraid” spirit! Where are you from and where do you live now? I was born in Montana, but […]
Member Highlights
Member Highlight: Nikki Reynolds
This month, meet member Nikki Reynolds, who joined Donner Party Mountain Runners because we “don’t seem **too** scary.” She’s been running around on trails her whole life, running wild in the hills of Fair Oaks in her childhood and now in the mountains around Fallon. She is also a Tahoe Mountain Miler, so you might meet […]
Member Highlight: Jackie Reifers
This month we highlight member Jackie Reifers of Truckee. Although Jackie and her husband Jeff are fairly new full-time residents, they have been part of the Northern California ultrarunning community for many years. Jackie is a regular at the Monday Trail Teasers and was also unafraid to join in at Waddle Wednesdays. Where are you […]

Member Highlight: Darrin Rice
This month, we feature one of our members from the Nevada side- Darrin Rice, a Washoe County Deputy Sheriff, who became interested in long-distance trail running as a creative way to train for hunting season. Enjoy! Where are you from, and were do you live now? I live in Sparks, Nevada. I was born in Fallon and […]
Member Highlight: Bill Hunter
This month, we are excited to introduce you to Bill Hunter. Bill has been a loyal DPMR member since the early days, and you will probably recognize his smiling face from one of the many events he has either volunteered or run at (often in his yellow DPMR shirt). Where do you live, and how often […]
Member Highlight – Rich Molsby
Pete Broomhall and I had the pleasure of interviewing Rich Molsby for this month’s Member Highlight. Rich is the “Mo” of MOBO Law here in Truckee. He also happens to be a triathlete and a loyal DPMR member – in fact he was one of the first ten members to join the club after its […]
Member Highlight: Joel Tebbutt
JP, Kathy and I sat down with Joel Tebbutt at Spice for this month’s Member Highlight. Joel moved to Truckee from the Bay Area almost 15 years ago, and co-owns and operates a vending machine route with his brother, Mike. Despite only turning to running (by default) less than two years ago, in 2014, he won both […]
Member Highlight – Diana Schlaff
JP Prince and I had the privilege of interviewing the delightful Diana Schlaff for this month’s Member Highlight.

You might […]
Member Highlight – Paul Sweeney
If you’ve been around the Truckee running scene for any length of time, you’ve probably crossed paths with Paul Sweeney at some point. He was out here cruising the trails long before there even was such a thing as a Truckee running scene! Kind, steadfast, and happy in the mountains, you will recognize Paul by […]
