Wolverine State 100

Petoskey, MI
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. The highlight of this course will be crossing the top of Michigan's lower peninsula from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. The 100-Mile course will be point-to-point, beginning in Petoskey and concluding in Alpena. The 100k course will also be a point to point race finishing in Alpena.  Our 50K race will feature an out and back course from Alpena that will have very manageable cutoffs and great running surfaces!

While no 100-mile race is ever easy (and we know you wouldn’t want it to be), our goal is to make this event as approachable as possible for first-timers while still delivering a rewarding experience f
