13+ Hours at Brockway BnB

September 27, 2017 by Ksenya Gusak 5 Comments

13+ Hours at Brockway BnB on the 3rd night of Tahoe 200 (2017) #200isthenew100, everyone wants to do one. So much so that there were double the number of entrants (one for every mile) in the 4th go-round of the Tahoe 200 race this year. The runners start at Homewood on Friday morning, and end […]

Western States 100 – DPMR’s showed the Unafraid spirit!

June 30, 2015 by Nicholas Martin 3 Comments

The Western States 100-mile Endurance Run did not disappoint this year. The race always promises heat and competition, and it wasn’t short on either. Temperatures were in the 90’s in Auburn, which means the canyons were smoking, and the competition was fierce, especially on the women’s side. In the front of the women’s pack, first time WS […]

2015 Western States 100 Preview – UNAFRAID! edition

June 22, 2015 by Nicholas Martin 2 Comments

The buzz is in the air, the snow has melted from the trail (didn’t take much this year), and the tapers are on… it’s time for the Big Dance. Year after year the Western States 100-mile Endurance Run boasts arguably the deepest US field of female and male 100 mile runners. At 5:00 AM on Saturday morning the feeling in […]

Miwok 100k

May 4, 2015 by Judd Haaland 2 Comments

I decided to run this race mostly because it’s an iconic Bay Area race, and I’ve run many ultras in the Bay Area. We left Campbell at 2 AM because I never like to be late. At zero dark thirty it’s hard to see signs, so it took us a while to find parking and […]

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 […]

Overnight Trail Running Lake Tahoe

August 17, 2014 by Chris Cloyd 3 Comments

Philosophy and Preparation Distance running has never seemed all that appealing to me: monotony, pain, and a lack of grand scale (as a road cyclist, the ground you can cover in a single is much greater and, as a result, that undertaking has always taken preference with me). Living at Lake Tahoe, however, has redefined what possibilities […]

UTMB Training

T minus 30 days before I embark on one of the greatest long distance races on the planet!  105 miles and 30,000+ feet of climbing as you run the Trail du Mont Blanc around the Mont Blanc Massif crossing through France, Switzerland and Italy as you do so.  Everyone I’ve talked to says to treat […]

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 […]
