About the Wolverine State 100
Trivium Racing built this race around a simple idea: cross the top of Michigan's Lower Peninsula on foot in one push. The 100 miler starts on the Lake Michigan side in Petoskey and finishes on Lake Huron in Alpena, and the organizers lean toward approachability, with a generous cutoff and a special award for sub-24-hour finishers. A 100K, a Sunday 50K, and a 100 mile relay share the weekend.
Course
The 100 mile and 100K courses are point to point into Alpena, mixing singletrack, gravel and limestone rail-trail, and quiet seasonal roads through forest and farm country. The 50K is an out and back from Alpena on friendlier surfaces. Aid stations sit roughly every 5 to 8 miles, and the 33 hour cutoff leaves room for a long night on course.
Race-day weather
Mid-October in northern Michigan usually means daytime highs in the 50s and nights that can dip near freezing. Most 100 mile runners will be out overnight, so layers, lights, and a plan for rain and lake wind matter more than heat.
