  • Comments: tough tough course and very pretty too , probably THE prettiest course i have raced on. Even spotted a hare which i jokingly told the ladies in front was there for pacing. Ran well especially climbing the trails , shaved 13 odd minutes from 2006. It Got warm which slowed me down in the latter part. SCR singlet was very confortable to run in and looks cool to boot.

  • Comments: This is a venerable trail HM that is part of the 25 year old "Great Race of Agoura Hills" event, which also includes a 10K, a 5K, a kid's mile, a family 1-mile fun run, and a second (road) HM--which was new in 2009. Thousands of runners of all ages and a big expo. Great finishers medals for the two HMs and the kid's mile. Only gripe had to do with parking: I had a plan for parking near the start, but volunteers with flashlights directing cars into a different lot derailed that plan. I ended up about five minutes farther away than I planned (which sucked at the end of the day)...walking by the lot I planned to park in, I saw plenty of empty spots, but it was too late to go back to my car and move it closer. Don't know what was up with the volunteers, but I talked to others who had the same experience and were pissed about the added (and unnecessary) walk.
