On Saturday, October 19th, DPMR hosted our annual pub run. As with previous years, Chris Cloyd (the run organizer) and a number of DPMR volunteers did not disappoint - runners enjoyed a great course, a little bit of adventure, surprises at the aid station, and a fantastic celebration at the end. 

Volunt(HERO)s

It's almost time to tally the hours and determine the winners of our 2024 Volunt(HERO) program! This year, the top 20 volunteers with the most hours logged will be entered into our grand prize drawing for five free race entries, for the race of choice, valued up to $200.
