About this race

Race Overview

Trivium Racing has been dreaming of producing this epic event for years, and we’re thrilled to finally unveil our exciting new race plan. This event will feature a 100-Mile, 100-Kilometer, and 50-Kilometer Ultra, as well as a relay option for the 100-Mile.

Course Highlights

  • Unique Route: The highlight of this course will be crossing the top of Michigan's lower peninsula from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron.
  • 100-Mile Course: This will be point-to-point, beginning in Petoskey and concluding in Alpena.
  • 100-KM Course: This course will also be a point-to-point race finishing in Alpena.
  • 50K Race: This will feature an out and back course from Alpena with very manageable cutoffs and great running surfaces!

Terrain and Experience

  • Diverse Terrain: Athletes will navigate a variety of terrain, including single-track trails, gravel roads, limestone paths, and seasonal roads.
  • Approachability: While no 100-mile race is ever easy, our goal is to make this event as approachable as possible for first-timers.
  • Rewarding Experience: We still aim to deliver a rewarding experience for seasoned vets.
  • Aid Stations: Expect frequent, well-stocked aid stations approximately every 5 to 8 miles to keep you fueled and supported throughout the race.

Awards and Incentives

  • Special Awards: Special awards will be given to those finishing the 100-mile race in under 24 hours.
  • Generous Cutoff: We’ll also have a generous cutoff time to encourage more participants to tackle this incredible course.
  • Encouragement for All: The design aims to motivate athletes of varying experience levels.
  • Event Details: For more information, visit the official page at Wolverine State 100.
