Pub to Pub Run Recap

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.

Trip Report - Yosemite High Route

In late September, Renee Jacobs ran, hiked cross country, and scrambled her way through Yosemite along the Yosemite High Route.

Here are the details from her adventure:

Book of the Month - Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer

This month, it's not a running book, but an adventure book. Most of us have heard about, if not already read, Into Thin Air. This book is about Krakauer's summit of Mt Everest "on one of its deadliest days" as well as the history and commercialization of the world's highest mountain.
