One lucky DPMR member will get just that, up to $1,000, through the new DPMR Volunt(HERO) Program. That's right– we want to pay your race entry fees for a year! The more you volunteer, the more likely you are to win so sign up to volunteer today!
DPMR Member Picnic
The DPMR Summer Picnic is on Sunday, June 4th and we need helpers! When you volunteer, you will earn a chance to win free race fees for a year through the new DPMR Volunt(HERO) program. Please email Angela Stark at angela@donnerpartymountainrunners.com if you can help.
