Book of the Month: Sierra Trail Runs

This Month, Aude reviews a running guidebook, which will definitely have you adding items to your bucket list. "The recent snow melt has us dreaming of big summer adventures and pushing ourselves in the beautiful Sierras...

Dog Policy and Code of Conduct Reminder

Now that group run season is upon us, we wanted to take the opportunity to remind everyone that DPMR has an official Code of Conduct, which includes a dog policy. In order to make our group runs safe and enjoyable to everyone, "we ask that you do not bring dogs to DPMR-sponsored group runs." You can review the entire code here:
