Call for Volunteers at Canyons by UTMB
Aid Station

Spring racing is upon us and first up on DPMR's volunteer calendar is Canyons by UTMB. This year we will be in charge of the Deadwood aid station for the 100-mile race on Friday, April 26th. Beginning the race at China Wall, runners will reach us first on their journey at mile 10 before doing a loop down to Swinging Bridge and then again passing through this aid station at mile 18. The action will be HOT and we need your help! More information and sign-up link below. Join us for a action-packed day in the canyons!

Count me in!

To stretch or not to stretch
 

Race Report: Aude's 100K finish at Tarawera
