The Bulldog Ultra : Calabasas, CA
The Bulldog Ultra is a trail running event on August 15, 2026, organized by SoCalTrail at Malibu Creek State Park in Calabasas, California. The event offers two marked trail distances that run through the Santa Monica Mountains and along single track and fire roads with ocean views.
- 50k Ultra (29.4 miles, roughly 5,500 ft of climbing)
- 25k Trail (14.8 miles, 2,783 ft of climbing)
The course description notes steep, long climbs and exposed canyon sections where temperatures can reach triple digits. Aid stations are placed along both courses and are described as fully stocked; the 50k includes a second loop with provisions for drop bags and pacers. Cutoff times are enforced at key aid stations and at the finish to support runner safety.
Awards include overall and age group podiums for women, men and non-binary categories. The 50k carries a stated prize purse, and the 25k includes a course record bonus. Amenities at the event include participant shirts or tanks, hand-made finisher medals, race photography, post-race food, a beer garden for attendees 21 and older, sports massage and same-day results with lap splits. Free off-street parking is available near the park entrance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
