2010 BullDog Race Comments
Assorted Comments From the 2010 Bulldog Race: (50)
- Wow, that was amazing! Fantastic course with excellent, yet subtle marking and wonderful volunteers at the feed stations. And those were really well stocked with JUST the right fuel, too. - Rachel Ragona (50K)
- Must once again compliment you on the race....ESPECIALLY the aid stations. You have the BEST AID STATIONS around---staffed with knowledgeable, helpful folks who do their best to help you through a difficult race. Ive done the 50k 3x now....and if my wife will let me, Ill come back for 20th Anniversary next year! Thanks again. - Chaz Fitzhugh (50K)
- I just wanted to thank you and all of your volunteers for putting on a great run. As always, the organization was perfect, the course was challenging but fun, and the aid station volunteers were enthusiastic and so very helpful! It was a great morning with beautiful views and friendly runners to chat with along the way. Doesnt get any better than that. - Karen Boris (50K)
- I ran the Bulldog 25k for the first time yesterday and it was incredible! - Betsy Beale (25K)
- As usual the volunteers were great and it was a wonderful experience. My stomach had a bad day but hopefully I will be back for more suffering next year. All the best – Diana Rush (50K)
- Thank you for such an awesome run yesterday! The heat was brutal and there were some pretty tough uphill climbs but today I have a really great sense of accomplishment for finishing the 25k. I also have a greater appreciation for long distance runners!! I also wanted to let you know that I was amazed at how well organized everything was! From the fully stocked aid stations and super friendly and supportive volunteers. It was awesome!!! I am looking forward to running with you and the Ultra Ladies again soon! – Kelly Flannagan (25K)
- Thank you for putting on an awesome race! – Chad Amick (50K)
- Just wanted to say "Thanks!" to you and Larry and everyone else that made the Bulldog races happen. – Gary Valle (50K)
- I wanted to send a quick note to thank you for an excellent race. I’ve been an avid triathlete for many years and have found my diversion this year to trail running to be incredibly rewarding both with training and with my race experiences (all 2 of them to-date!) I’m learning that trail runners are an incredibly friendly group of folks. Thanks again for a great race; I’ll be back in 2011! – Diana
- Thank you for another wonderful Bulldog trail run! This was my fourth year running the course. I actually met my now husband (Jeffrey Wright) at the bathrooms before the 2007 Bulldog 25k, and weve been trail running together ever since. 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)
- 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)

- 2nd year of suffering. Loved the race and the rest stops and the volunteers. You guys do a great job. Thanks. - 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)
