Bulldog Revisited

Posted by popular demand...this video documents the 2006 Bulldog 50k Trail Run in Malibu, CA.

The race was well organized and enjoyable in every way. The post-race party is awesome with pizza and age group awards and plenty of give-aways. Competition is thick, with starting fields in the neighborhood of 150. Front runners lead the pack up and over Bulldog Mountain to the 7 1/2 mile aid station...then back down the mountain for a second loop up and over. One water crossing is possible near the end of the loop, but it depends on current conditions. High temps are often a factor and the morning sun sneaks up on runners as they climb the fireroads to the peak of Bulldog mountain at miles 7 1/2 and 15. Much of the course is exposed and, if the sun is out, prepare yourself for some ruthless heat.

Great places to stay include the Malibu RV Park and campground, which provides a scenic overlook of Malibu beaches. Keep your eye out for Hollywood types....they tend to frequent this haughty area. You'll see more than a couple exotic convertables during your visit.

This year's race is upcoming and hopefully this video will help those of you preparing to attempt the Bulldog 50k for the first time.

Enjoy!
