The course

Where it goes point to point · 5 aid stations

Course line from the race's own GPX. Source file.

Point-to-point from the Pine Trailhead, run the day after the 100 Mile. Heads east along the Highline/Arizona Trail then climbs the Donahue Trail up the Rim, descends the West Webber/Turkey Springs trails, climbs back up a second and final time, then follows the tail end of the 100 Mile course (Pine Canyon, Pine Trailhead) into the same finish in Pine. No crew, pacers, or drop bags for this distance.

Men's course record: 4:06:49, Pedro Gomez (2023). Women's course record: 4:39:56, Selena Langner (2023). A separate fire-reroute 'Old Courses' record exists: men's 3:58:25, Michael Tomchaney (2024 fire-reroute course) — this conflicts with the men's course-record line elsewhere on the page, which attributes 3:58:25 / Michael Tomchaney to 2024 as the CURRENT course record, not the old-course one; both readings are recorded here since the source page itself lists the same time under both headings without reconciling them.

The race

What this one is

A rugged point-to-point trail race on the Mogollon Rim near Pine, Arizona, about 90 minutes northeast of Phoenix. The 100 Mile distance runs from the Two-Sixty Trailhead to the town of Pine, climbing the Rim on six separate occasions between elevations of roughly 5,200-5,300 ft and 7,900-8,000 ft, through Sonoran desert scrub at the bottom and the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the world on top. A shorter 42K starts the next morning at the Pine Trailhead and finishes alongside the 100 Mile in the center of Pine.

'Mogollon Monster' plays on both the difficulty of the course and local Bigfoot legend on the Rim. Race results are shown on the official site back to 2012, and the founder (Jeremy Dougherty, whose brother Noah is the current Race Director) says he has 'ran hundreds of miles of this course since 2012.' The founder's own account states the race originally ran a 106-mile course and that 'in our first five years... we only saw 99 runners finish.' Aravaipa Running has directed the race since 2016. A 2017 wildfire (the Highline Fire) damaged trail east of Washington Park and, combined with flooding that followed within two months, forced a reroute that also affected the neighboring Zane Grey 50 in 2018 and 2019; the site records a separate 'Old Courses' course-record table for the pre-reroute route. The current point-to-point layout (Two-Sixty Trailhead to Pine) has been used since roughly 2021 -- the 2025 crew manual calls that year 'the fifth year with the point-to-point route.' No result year appears for 2020 in the site's own year-by-year results list.
