The @dpmrunners Newbies Run Club is back next week ๐Ÿ™Œ This is hands down one of the best ways to get into trail running in Truckee, low pressure, all levels, and a really solid crew to run with. Whether youโ€™re brand new, getting back into it, or thinking about your first race, this is for you. Runs start at 6 pm sharp with shoe demos available at 5:30 then run for 30 minutes (longer options will be possible), no matter your pace! We hang after + raffle a pair of shoes at each event! Did we mention these are all FREE to attend? Free demos + free raffles, community, beverages, what more could you want? All you need: running shoes + a willingness to have fun. Keep an eye out here for weekly locations as conditions change. Huge shoutout to @gnarlynutrition for supporting the series this year ๐Ÿค ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ง๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐Ÿฐ/๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿญ-๐Ÿฑ/๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ
