The Valley Crest Half-Marathon is a hilly mountain half-marathon on dirt Mulholland that treats runners to beautiful spring foliage and magnificent vistas of the San Fernando Valley. The race is run in early June, and has typically had cool, overcast weather. The course is entirely on county-maintained fire roads, with aid stations approximately every 3.5 miles. This is a great first-timer trail run!
The challenging and popular Bulldog runs consist of two races - the 25K Trail Run and the 50K Trail Ultra Run, which are conducted simultaneously. Come join us and run in the beautiful scenic Santa Monica Mountains recreational area beginning at our base camp in Malibu Creek State Park, Malibu California. The challenging course offers inspirational vistas of untamed terrain and sweeping ocean views as it weaves through the mountains on single track and fire roads.
The UltraLadies are a come-and-go-as-you-wish ultrarunning training group. We've been together since 1995 and began as a women's training group, but sometimes includes a few UltraLadies' Men. We are especially supportive of new ultrarunners and we have helped train dozens of runners to complete the Bulldog 50K as their first ultrarunning experience. Many of these runners have gone on to complete 50-mile and 100-mile endurance events, while supporting the newbies who come to train with us.
