Castle Peak 100k Recap – By JoAnn Ellero

August 30, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

It’s 11 PM.  When I look ahead to where the trail is marked, I can’t tell if the lights I see above are headlamps from other runners or stars in the California sky.   I shine my light to the left and hear a voice: “grab the rope……welcome to the Palisades” Three hours earlier, I […]

Castle Peak 100K Recap by Dan Brounstein

August 30, 2019 by admin 2 Comments

It was a bit of a strange prep week before the race.  I wasn’t that nervous and to be honest, I hadn’t really prepped mentally like I had in the past for other first-time race distances.  I was in great running shape, but had no idea what I was going to do for nutrition, pace, […]

August 30, 2019 by admin 4 Comments

My First 100k, First Western States Qualifier, Castle Peak 100k Race Report Written by: Brandon Galvez Their website boldly states, “Facing the brunt of fate.  Indomitable. Unafraid.”  I won’t lie, I was afraid.  I’m not a morning person and have no problem sleeping 8-9 hours everyday given the opportunity.  The week leading up to the […]

Castle Peak 2019 – A Race Report by Stacie Riddle

August 30, 2019 by admin 1 Comment

What a wonderful weekend for a long run around Truckee! I drove my truck over to Sugar Bowl on Friday to sign a couple of acknowledgements about the course being difficult/dangerous and enjoy the company of the lovely DPMR group. We left my truck there at the finish so I could run to it at […]

Member Highlight: Joel Tebbutt

September 30, 2015 by Jenelle Potvin 2 Comments

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 […]

First time 100K, Castle Peak delivers

September 1, 2015 by Chaz Sheya

I grew up in the Sacramento River Delta and as a young boy I would stare out over the vineyards to the snow-capped outline of the Sierras. I thought to myself, that is where I need to go. Escape from all that bothered me in my childhood. I was introduced to exploring the mountains at […]

Castle Peak 100k Pre-Race

August 21, 2015 by Chaz Sheya Leave a Comment

I remember the first time I heard Peter Fain tell me about the CP100k. His passion was evident. I was working on my first stint as an RD at the Canyons and we had collaborated on various ideas for any number of things you could imagine. Shirts-no shirts, Trucker hats or coffee mugs, belt or […]
