What you should know

  • Pico de Orizaba is Mexico's highest peak; upper sections may be high altitude, so acclimatize days ahead if possible.
  • Mild 22–27°C refers to the valley; temperatures on the high slopes can be near freezing, especially early and late.
  • The 104K climbs about 7500m, so check the official cutoff times and plan your pacing and drop-bag use around them.
  • Expect steep, loose volcanic and rocky descents; trekking poles and shoes with aggressive lugs help on this terrain.
  • Confirm the mandatory gear list and bib pickup details with the organizer, as requirements may vary by distance.
