PHILOSOPHY
I believe that trail and ultra running is more than a sport; it’s a way of life. Consistency is the key to growth, and showing up each day, even in small ways, builds not only stronger legs but a stronger mind and spirit.
The trails teach us resilience, patience, and presence. They offer more than just fitness; they connect us to nature and to ourselves. My goal as a coach is to help athletes make running a sustainable part of their lifestyle, not just a hobby.
I design training plans that are personalized to meet each athlete’s unique needs, background, and goals. Along the way, I stay connected — motivating, encouraging, and celebrating every step of progress through consistent communication and support.
Ultimately, my purpose is to help athletes become their best, not only to meet their athletic goals, but to discover the confidence and strength that come from showing up and putting in the work day after day.
COACHING EXPERIENCE
My coaching journey began with a simple goal — to share the joy and strength that running on trails has brought to my own life. I founded COS-TRCK, a kids’ trail running camp, to help young runners discover the fun and confidence that comes from being outside and moving through nature.
Over time, that same passion for helping others grow expanded into coaching adults — especially beginners who are learning to trust their bodies, build consistency, and develop a love for the process. I’ve guided runners as they train for everything from their first trail 5K to their first ultramarathon, helping them find balance between effort and recovery, and confidence in their abilities.
Through DreamAdventures, I’ve also coached and guided people in taking on big goals beyond running — like climbing mountains and tackling new adventures that challenge both the body and mind.
My coaching style is personalized; I provide one-on-one support, customized training plans, strength and mobility guidance, and mental coaching to help athletes grow stronger both physically and mentally. More than anything, I love watching people realize what they’re truly capable of when they commit to showing up for themselves day after day.
ABOUT ME
Ultrarunner | Adventure Enthusiast | HOKA Flyer and Mother
📍 Colorado Springs, Colorado
With nearly three decades of running behind her and over 50 ultras under her belt, Dreama Walton is a force in the trail world. She began running at 16 as a way to stay grounded during a time of personal upheaval — a walk-on to her high school track team who never stopped moving forward. Since then, she’s gone on to race globally, placing 1st at Zugspitze Rock the Top, podiuming multiple times at the Zugspitze Ultra, and competing in events like UTMB, CCC, TDS, Western States, and High Lonesome.
For Dreama, trail running is about more than finish lines — it’s about connection. To the earth. To grit. And to the people around her. She is a mother, an entrepreneur, recently starting her own Adventure guiding business called DreamAdventures, where she leads transformational trips guiding clients up Mount Kilimanjaro, Nepal, and many other incredible locations around the world.
She also gives back through programs like COS-TRCK and Trail Fit Bootcamp, which are youth programs designed to cultivate fitness and community.
BIG INFLUENCES
I draw inspiration from athletes like Joseph Gray, Kilian Jornet, and Annie Hughes. These are people who embody grit, humility, and a deep love for the mountains. Their dedication and authenticity remind me why I run: to push limits, stay grounded in nature, and keep showing up no matter how hard the climb.
