Is Trail Running good for your fitness

I just complete my first trail race a few weeks ago. It was the 14k Derwentwater trail race and was over various terrain including trails, roads, grass, mud, bogs and rock. There was 400m of climbing. I found it very tough and didn't enjoy the experience much. Everyone I met has been raving about how wonderful it was. It took me a good week to recover enough to get back to my training plan. I wonder whether this type of racing will help me to become a better runner or is it just for people who are in to trail/fell running?
