WHAT WE SPECIALIZE IN
We specialize in coaching new ultra runners to finish the Bulldog 50K in August. Many participants in our program have gone on to complete 50-mile and 100-mile endurance races. Our long runs, tempo runs and races are aligned perfectly to help you meet your goals. You will start with us because you want to tap our knowledge and gain confidence about ultra running, but you will stay with us every year because like trails are constantly changing, so is your desire for new challenges, longer distances, different terrains and higher altitudes and UltraLadies can help you get there!
WHY CHOOSE ULTRALADIES?
We have combined 30 years of experience behind us. Since 1995, Ultra-Mama, Nancy Shura-Dervin, has been training and coaching ultra athletes to their first 50K, 50-Mile and 100-Mile races. Cyndi Wyatt has been an Ultra Runner since 2009 and joined Nancy in 2017, after successfully implementing the REI Run Club in Los Angeles and spending a few years as the Summer Coordinator for the Santa Monica Mountain Goat Run Club. Our UltraLadies Ambassadors are team mentors who are experienced 50K to 100-Mile runners who will run the trails with you and share tricks of the trade to make your experience safe and enjoyable.

Our first training day is Saturday, April 8th and will run through the infamous Bulldog 25K racecourse in beautiful Malibu Creek State Park.

Our long runs will be held every other Saturday morning at different trailheads in the Santa Monica Mountains and many of our trainings runs will be on our actual race courses. You will have the advantage of knowing the courses very well.
