Last call- please RSVP! The DPMR Summer Picnic is THIS WEEKEND and we hope you've made plans to join us at Commons Beach in Tahoe City. This is a family-friendly event featuring two morning group runs, a BBQ lunch with all the fixings, drinks, games, and socializing with other DPMR members. It’s a great way to kick off the summer season and spend time with your trail running friends.

Race Report - Miwok 

This winter made it hard for all of us to get those miles in, and it was no exception for Meggie...

She eloquently describes all the highs and lows of the race, as well as her  euphoric finish.
