Mogollon Monster 100 Mile Planning
Published onI just signed up for the Mogollon Monster 100 mile race for 2022. Last year I finished in a little over 29 hours, good for 11th, and this year I am setting my target at 24 hours!
All Mogollon Monster finishers of the race will receive a finishers buckle. A special buckle will be awarded to those that complete the race under 24 hours.
I want that belt buckle!
