Over the last few years, we’ve noticed an interesting trend and build-up of activity pattern in June in the Truckee-Tahoe area. It so happens that we are incredibly fortunate to have two world-class mountain/trail/ultra running events on back-to-back weekends, and many of us are regular participants and volunteers at these two events: the Broken Arrow Skyrace and Western States.
Over the past three years since the pandemic many brands, athletes, and supporters have been sticking around the area for the entire 7-10 day period, with 2023 showing us a glimpse of what might be possible — DPMR hosted a mid-week social run with NNormal and Tahoe Mountain Sports that included brand reps and execs, elite runners, and shoe demos. Sooooo … DPMR decided to take advantage of this cool collection of people and energy to create a new event that showcases mountain and trail running in the Truckee-Tahoe area while also celebrating these two incredible events.
To that end, we’d like to introduce the Mountain Running Fest: Truckee-Tahoe for 2024!
Join DPMR for a celebration of trail and mountain running in the greater Truckee & North Tahoe area. Over 12 days in June (18th-29th), we will be hosting DPMR events and supporting other activities that tie together these two local, world-class running events.
With thousands of runners, families, running brands and businesses in town during this period, what better time to come together, showcase our amazing area and running community, and help support two events we cherish and admire.
You can find the details in our Schedule of Events to see which events you want to attend. Keep an eye out for regular updates, volunteer signups, and more via email, the DPMR Facebook group, and our Strava club. Question? Contact us!
So lock it into your calendar and join us for an excellent, exciting week of runs, social activity, and racing!
Special thank you to Tahoe Mountain Sports for their partnership in making MRF a reality.
