Ultra Runner since 2000
Founder of BB& Bro's Trail Running in 2006

Hi, I’m Dawna—ultra runner, coach, and founder of Bush Babes Trail Running, based in the Okanagan.

​

I’ve spent the past 30 years in the fitness and coaching world, but the trails are where I feel most at home. Steep climbs, long days, dirt under your feet—that’s where growth happens. When I’m not running, you’ll find me out there hiking, snowshoeing, or riding the same terrain we train on.

​

I work with runners of all levels—from first-timers figuring it out, to athletes chasing ultras, multi-day events, or big personal goals. No matter where you’re starting, the focus is the same: build strength, stay consistent, and show up ready.

At Bush Babes, it’s not just about training plans—it’s about community. It’s about surrounding yourself with people who get it, who push you, and who remind you why you started when things get tough.

 

Coaching with me is a team effort. We keep things real, communicate openly, and build a plan that fits your life—not one that burns you out. You’ll get structure, guidance, and just enough challenge to keep things interesting.

If you’re ready to put in the work, get a little uncomfortable, and see what you’re capable of—I’m here for it.
