TRT 60K Race Report

July 31, 2023 by admin 1 Comment

By Angela Stark I arrived in Carson City just past 5 am, missing the send-off for the 100-mile runners by a whisker. The atmosphere at the start area was serene, with only a few runners trickling in for the commencement of the 60k race. Accompanied by my husband Dane, we cherished some peaceful moments until […]

Broken Arrow introduces Elite Housing Program

March 26, 2022 by Diane Frederic Leave a Comment

If you are familiar with the Broken Arrow Skyrace- and how could you not be- you know how community-minded this race has become for the Truckee-Tahoe area. Every year the race designates a portion of their proceeds to select groups, and in the past this has included the Julia Millon Scholarship Fund as well as […]

Castle Peak 100K Race Report- Meggie Inouye

October 29, 2021 by Meggie Inouye 1 Comment

I awoke extra early on race morning to check the Air Quality Index and was pleased to find a number under 150.  Smokey air was coming from wildfires from the north and the south putting the race at jeopardy. Favorable winds meant that 2021 Castle Peak 100k would run. The Castle Peak 100k course starts […]

DPMR Aid Station at Tahoe 200

September 14, 2014 by Jenelle Potvin 3 Comments

I’m not exactly sure what it takes to run 200 miles (ultrarunners are sooo crazy), but I have a pretty good idea now of what it takes to handle a 48-hour aid station during a 100-hour race. It takes a solid group of enthusiastic, untiring, caring ultravolunteers and a kick-ass Aid Station Captain. The Donner Party […]

Speedgoat 50k Race Report

July 28, 2014 by Geoff Quine 3 Comments

After the race, Sarah and I went back to our hotel room where I opened my laptop and re-read my Canyons 50km race report and had to laugh. I felt I had run a pretty good race in Foresthill and I wrote of “running with gratitude and smiling”. Speedgoat was a completely different beast, almost […]

TRT50 – 1st 50 Miler Race Report

July 28, 2014 by Daniela Porri 2 Comments

The day started not too hot, not too cold but my nerves were on OVERLOAD. I had self-doubt of the splits that I sent to my crew. Was I over-estimating my training? Was I being overly confident of how the day would go? I stood next to people with course records and friends of mine […]

Tahoe Rim Trail 100 Race Report

July 23, 2014 by Chaz Sheya 25 Comments

This was my 3rd TRT100 in 3 years and my goal was to finish sub 24 hrs and get that gold coin in the middle of the buckle.  My training had finally come together; I felt confident.  I logged 1300 miles and 220K feet of climbing (440k total change). The last 3 weeks focused on […]

DPMR is so excited to bring you this second edition of the race that promises to be bigger and better than last year! RD Chris Cloyd and team have been working so hard all week with final prep.

Mariah into a mind-blowing piece of art. Picture this: foam sculpture meets artistic genius equals immortalizing Pt. Mariah in your artistry.  The project consists of 30” letters, which are 4” thick, and spell Pt. Mariah.  The letters can be picked up in Truckee after Jul 3rd and need to be complete by August 3rd. This is a commissioned project with a budget of $500.
