This race is not for the faint of heart or undertrained. The hills are steep and strenuous and the trail requires attention to ensure you don't fall. Between mile 2-3 the elevation increases significantly. Two aid station and it is very hot so bring your own water. This is a great trail run, but not a joke.

My rock n roll cases must be cursed with bad weather, but it was still great. The weekend was marred by hurricane Hermine, but the rnr team handled it wonderfully placing runner safety about all else. The offered refunds and race transfers to those who were unable to attend. However, on race day the weather cleared and it was a beautiful run through Camp Pendelton ,waterfront and some residential streets. I will do it again.

Rock n Roll is awesome! This was my first RNR and I picked my hometown to do it in. I was nervous as I have never done a night race before, but it was a blast. Great expo, fun entertainment and good crowd. I loved seeing all the brides and grooms tackle the course together. The weather(rain and wind) was the only down side. I will be back in 2016

Best race ever! I did this race in 2013 as my second marathon and I will do it again. They have the best volunteers of any race. The crowd support via signs and aid stations created an amazing atmosphere of support and love. The pre dawn bus ride to the top was not great, but the sunrise more than made up for it.

This is a great training race at a low cost. Brazen Racing does a wonderful job of brining in the community to participate at a variety of levels. The course is a mix of trail and pavement and provides great views of the sf bay. Brazen Racing provides an awesome post race snack area and celebrating all runners. I love the medal
