The course runs through redwood and pine forest on trail, with the kind of green that comes from a wet spring. The terrain is genuine trail, not groomed path, and the forest canopy keeps things cool. Several distance options mean you can pick your effort, and hikers are as welcome as runners.

The Trailquake has been held every year since at least 2018. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.17 Miles field finished slower than 50:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:45:53, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (91 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.17 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 3.17 Miles winner ran 27:32 while the median finisher took 50:20. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
