Racing Gnome Snowshoe Race

It's not too late to sign up! In less than two weeks (on Feb 11th), we'll be donning our snowshoes and chasing the gnomes on a 5k and 10k course on the flank on Prosser Hill. This is always a fun community event! Inexperienced gnomes are welcome. 

3rd Annual Pt Mariah Trail Marathon

Although a very new event, our Pt Mariah Trail Marathon has already become a favorite in our local running community and beyond. "This event perfectly highlights what trail running is all about" (Helen Mino Faukner). Sign up now to either run the whole event as a single runner, or pair up with a partner or four to share the 5 loops on the course. 

Member Highlight -  Lynn Tsai

Lynn is one of the five great new faces that joined the DPMR board  last month. We are stoked to have her energy and enthusiasm on the team! Learn more about Lynn in this month's Member Highlight

Coach's Corner with Martin Benes

Many local runners break out the skis in the winter, for cross training, or even time away from running all together. Martin's article this month will help those folks understand why it's so beneficial, and perhaps inspire those who haven't tried XC yet to give it a shot! After all, who doesn't want high VO2?

Book of the Month: "Once a Runner" by John L. Parker Jr.

"This is a fictional book, centered around college runner Mike Cassidy who has dreams of running a sub 4 minute mile... A memorable passage of the book describes a workout that Mike Cassidy does, prescribed by his coach and mentor." Definitely check out the link to David Roche's hilarious discussion of the infamous "Superstar Workout: 60 x 400 meters" at the end of Aude's review.
