Remembering Britt Praker
Britt and her husband Ben Praker have been running and volunteering with DPMR since they first heard about the first Roller Coaster Half on Facebook. Britt grew up in Colorado and especially loved the mountains. She told Ben, “the mountains are my healing place for all the treatment and pain.” Unfortunately, Britt knew too much […]

Kim has called several places […]
Member Highlight – Steve Buelna
(Introduction by Adam Kimble) Though he’s lived in the Truckee-Tahoe area since 2000, you may not yet be familiar with Steve Buelna. Now that he has done what he’s done in 2017, chances are far greater that you’ll see his smiling face on the trails or at a local race! Ever since Steve decided he […]
Member Highlight – Diane Frederic
Diane Frederic, or less commonly known as “Fred” within our group (soon to change) is our October Member Highlight of the month. A long time runner, who was given some of the best running advice I have ever heard, she still made the near fatal mistake of eating sushi the night before a 50 mile […]
Member Highlight – Christopher Thomas
Christopher Thomas and I first crossed paths last year, when he volunteered for me at The Canyons Endurance Runs, working the Foresthill Aid Station. I had asked him to sort out the runners drops bags, in numerical order, putting the top male and female towards the front. I’ll never forget his ear to ear smile […]

If you have yet to take a class or visit Hillary, head on […]
Member Highlight – Tara Eckenrode
There’s a software engineer working remote in our mountain community, who, on a whim moved here from the hustle and bustle of the big city life in San Francisco. Sound like a familiar story? I am not too sure. Tara Eckenrode is our DPMR Member Highlight for the month of May, and couldn’t be […]
