Way Too Haught 105K runs 105K through Pine to Christopher Creek, Arizona. +3,691 ft gain and -3,139 ft loss. Surfaces skew 90% singletrack / 10% dirt road. Exposed Mogollon Rim miles with sparse marking. High point near 6,878 ft. Low near 5,560 ft. November temps run 30°F to 85°F.

The Work
Train for 3,691 feet of climbing across 105K. Back-to-back long runs on similar surfaces. Practice power-hiking grades above 15 percent. 18 hours total means limited margin: rehearse fueling every 45 to 60 minutes and downhill eccentric work weekly. Technicality 5/10. Build a block that simulates the crux near mile 68.
Kit
November in Pine to Christopher Creek, Arizona: plan for 30°F to 85°F. Mandatory shell if rain is in forecast. Headlamp with spare batteries if 18 hours pushes past dark. Poles help on sustained climbs above mile 26. Vest capacity for 2 liters minimum. Shoes matched to 90% singletrack: lugs for mud, rock plate if the course turns technical after mile 53.
Race Day
Hold effort through mile 26. The field often splits on the first big climb after mile 53. Exposed Mogollon Rim miles with sparse marking near mile 68 is where time is won or lost. Walk the steep pinches. Run the flats and gentle downhills. Crew at major aids: socks, calories, ice if hot. Transitions under 5 minutes when possible. Final third is 35 miles of fatigue management. Finish with reserve for the last descent.
