This was our 4th Bulldog together- we make it our anniversary celebration. We look forward to participating again next year! - Aliisa Wright (25K)
- I just want to say thank you for a great first 50k experience! I had a blast. - Donna Reed (50K)
- Hello Nancy, Just a quick note to say thanks for another great run. What a wonderful group of people, on the trail, but especially among your crew of volunteers. You have it all very well organized and invest it with a warm and generous spirit. Well done. My only complaint was—all those speedy runners! I had the illusion that I might contend for a medal this year. My time, around 1:51, might have gotten me there in my advanced age group in years past—but was not nearly good enough this time around. I’ll just have to train harder and try again next year. Thanks for all. - Keith Gayhart
- I just wanted to write and say thank you to the race director and all the volunteers who make this such a special race! This was my first year to participate in the run, and I will definitely be back! - Leslie Popplewell
- Thanks to you, all volunteers and sponsors for another great Valley Crest run. - Gloria Roberts
- Hey, I ran Valley Crest today and just wanted to thank you guys for setting up such a great race. I’ve done two marathons, but this was my first trail run and first half-marathon so it was quite an experience. I started running about 2 years ago and limited myself to one marathon a year (the Los Angeles one). But, I read the book “Ultramarathon Man” by Dean Karnazes recently, and it rejuvenated my love for running. I immediately went on the internet and signed up for more races (Bulldog Run being one of them.) I’m sure a lot of time and effort went into planning the whole thing, so I want you to know it was all worth it- keep up the great work! Thanks again guys and I can’t wait for the Bulldog! - Jason Eskin
- You did a wonderful job being the RD of Bulldog! I had to drop at the end of round one - not going to make the 50k cutoff - too stinking slow ! But, I loved my time at Bulldog - you are very good!!! – Kathy Kusner (50K)
- Absolutely great race...thanks for all the hard work. What a great event.....thank you - Frannie Tennant (25K)
- Great Race Shirt! Thanks for another fun, fun day. - Amy Galbraith (25K)
- 2nd year of suffering. Loved the race and the rest stops and the volunteers. You guys do a great job! - Mark Schlueter (25K)
- Loved the race- thank you and all those involved in a terrific race!!! - Chris Harrison (50K)
- I wanted to congratulate you on a job well-done! You put on a great race and, as tough as the conditions were yesterday, I am glad I accomplished what I set out to do. You were incredible as a trainer, but more so, invaluable as a source of friendship and motivation. I also wanted to make sure I thanked the staff at the aid stations; they were amazing! There was one person in particular that was especially great, Dennis, at the first aid station (the foot of bulldog) as i started loop #2. I was just so tired and hot; I wanted to give up. BUT, Dennis was so helpful. His voice was so soothing! He helped fill my hydration pack, he asked if i was ok, and then just encouraged me to keep moving! Really, all the folks in that first aid station were so great, but he helped me directly, and was extra attentive to me. There was also a very nice guy at Tapia that was also good to me. He noticed that I just wanted to cry, not give up, but just cry (I was so done), he told me to just keep moving, that I looked great (yeah right!), and that I was 2.6 miles away...at that point, I thought, "I can do 2.6..." Im sure you hear these accounts hundreds of times over, but again, thank you... I could not have done this without you! – Rebecca Ronquillo (50K)
- Ran my first Bulldog 25K today and had a good experience. Thanks for organizing a great race. I really appreciated the aid stations; well stocked and staffed. - Kevin Colwell (25K)
- I was the guy in the pirate/cowboy hat who helped with parking and then ran the 50K board. I had a great day at the race. What a terrific atmosphere, and what terrific people. I enjoyed working with your daughter Heather. Congratulations on a great event; 7 or 8 of my buddies ran it and all raved about the course and the organization and the day. Many thanks - Henry Clark (volunteer)
- So, thanks for a great event and I will be recommending Bulldog to anyone who is looking for an ultra. I cant really say if I will run another Ultra or not, but the Bulldog will always be a great memory. - Scott Palka (50K)
- I was so impressed that nearly all the runners finished with no major problems! A testimony to their condition, both mental and physical. Oh, and it is a huge testimony to the race director, too. :-)) – Ellen Kukuchka (volunteer)
- Thanks everyone for your support. It's very important to people at the back of the pack! We really appreciate it! - Sandra Israel (50K)

- Oh yes! On that second loop, the aid station at the top was like finding an oasis in the desert! Boosted morale and left me 20 degrees cooler! Great job and thanks to all the volunteers! - Julie San (50K)
- Bulldog was so much fun; thank you for putting on such a great race! - Jennifer Wilson
