Member Highlights
Member Highlight – Ryan Herring
Introduction by Aude Hofleitner. This month, I got to interview the DPMR member I know the most closely. I thought that if he didn’t want to answer the questions, maybe I’d answer them for him, but you’ll all enjoy learning from him directly ;-). A regular at group runs, volunteer opportunities and other social events, […]
Member highlight – Andrei Soroker
Introduction by Aude HofleitnerI first met Andrei at the DPMR summer picnic run in 2024. You’ll read more about it below and for full transparency, I was a bit worried about him joining the full distance after seeing him dump his coffee and start our 16mile run with his coffee mug as only source of […]
Member Highlight – Jen Schmidt
Introduction by Aude HofleitnerThis month, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Jen. I first met Jen at a mutual friend’s Thanksgiving dinner in 2021, a few weeks before we both ran the California International Marathon. We had obvious shared interest and stayed in touch (and spoiler… she crushed that race!!). We really got […]
Member Highlight – Marta Darby
Introduction by Aude Hofleitner: This month, I am excited to introduce one of your new DPMR board members: Marta Darby. I first met Marta on the top of Hawk’s Peak in Tahoe Donner (which I just realized is her favorite local trail!). She was hanging out at the top, enjoying the stunning day. We started […]
Member Highlight – Faith Dennie
Intro by Bruna Gusmao: I met Faith running one of our Tuesday social runs. I was impressed with her positivity and determination. She has recently started in triathlon and her results are outstanding. She is focused and goal-oriented. At the same time, she is always able to have a smile on her face. Once in […]
Member Highlight – Jake Thystrup
Intro by Bruna Gusmao: I remember Jake from last year during the Pt Mariah Marathon. It was the end of the race. It was super hot and I was super tired. Then a guy dressed in a cone comes running by super fast downhill screaming.That brought a big laugh to my tired, sweaty face. After […]
Member Highlight – Dana Powers
Where are you from and where do you live now? I currently live in Truckee with my wife, Kathy. We’ve been here full-time for 4 years. Before Truckee I lived in San Francisco and the SF Bay Area for about 20 years. I went to elementary school through high school and college in Nashville, TN. But […]
Member Highlight – Sarah Portman
During winter months, Sarah is a familiar sight on the roads of Tahoe Donner, tackling her daily run regardless of the weather. I first met Sarah during the 2021 Newbie runs, which led to our regular attendance at weekly social runs. Despite her aversion to evening workouts, Sarah’s energy never wanes, and she is a […]
Member Highlight – Maggie and Mark
Intro by Garret McCullough: If you come regularly to the Tuesday night social run, you’ve probably met the friendliest couple there: Maggie and Mark. I met them last year when they started running with DPMR and it’s been a lot of fun getting to know them and seeing them out on the trails. There was […]
