No seriously I felt like it was uphill the entire time! I had only been training for a 10k, and not doing the hill work that I should have for this race. I decided on doing it to go with a group of friends and enjoy the scenery. The scenery was definitely fantastic, even with the fog keeping us from seeing the views of the ocean or the bridge. There are a lot of places on the course where there are stairs, or terraced sections, and I will never forget one section that actually did go downhill—it was so steep that I ran side to side like I was slaloming downhill on skies.
All of this might sound negative, but it was an amazing experience and I am actually thinking of doing this race again, but not until I can make sure I have time to do a lot of hill training.

This was a great race to participate in, It was my first trail race and it really was a trail! we were up and down on access roads, hiking trails, a portion of it was on a regular road, and it finished on the beach. It really gave you a work out, but running in the Marin headlands was awesome.
