Meet Ksenya Gusak, our DPMR Member Highlight for the month of August. Originally from Russia, Ksenya has recently found herself exploring and settling in Truckee with her boyfriend Drew. Our international trail sister has a Masters in Business, but it’s her Jedi Masters trail cred and skills that is something to take notice of. Having […]

Member Highlight – Alexander Humenetskyj
Our July DPMR Member Highlight of the month, Abby Humenetskyj! Wait, I mean Alex, but seriously who can get enough of those baby pictures! One day Abby, one day…. If you haven’t crossed paths or shared a trail with Alex, make an appointment to. His down-to-earth attitude and soft spoken demeanor will have you wanting […]
Member Highlight – Hillary MacLean
While new to the area, Hillary Maclean has already cemented herself within our running family and Truckee/Tahoe community. Since relocating her family to Truckee, she has opened Sierra Symmetry, a Pilates studio with Reformer and Mat Classes with a focus on painless running! 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 […]
Member Highlight – Adam Kimble
Adam Kimble may be new to Lake Tahoe and the Donner Party Mountain runners, but he is no stranger to ultra running or even across the country running! Since moving here with his wife Karen, Adam has jumped right into our active Truckee/Tahoe community. Our 2017 Castle Peak 100k participants will be greeted by Adam, […]

Whether it’s Kids Korner after school, Adventure Camp during the summer, or she […]
Member Highlight – Carol Lindsay

You may have seen Carol working late into the night at the finish line of the Castle Peak 100k, where Carol has volunteered as Medical Director for the past two years. Carol is a wonderful ambassador for our sport, an inspiration to many, and […]
Member Highlight: Amber Weibel
If you are lucky enough to meet Amber Weibel in person, you will not be intimidated, I promise. Humble, giving, resilient, unafraid, are descriptors that come to mind. I met Amber when she was volunteering at the Castle Peak 100k. She was there to crew her husband Ryan, who would take the win. But instead, […]
Member Highlight: Kristin Henry
Kristin Henry, we can’t quite cover this bubbling personality in a simple Member Highlight. This unfiltered bundle of jokes and smiles is better suited for a TV show! Hopefully, you have had the fortunate, or unfortunate (for those that lack a sense of humor) pleasure of crossing paths or sharing a trail with Kristin. She has […]
Member Highlight: Naomi Plasterer
When Naomi signed up for the club, I google-stalked her and quickly discovered she would be a vibrant addition to the DPMR family (yes, I do want to see who our new members are so I may have stalked each of you too). From her blog, I could see that Naomi was training for a 100 miler […]
