About the Wolverine State 100
The course crosses the lower peninsula from west to east, linking two Great Lakes shores across a long stretch of trail. Underfoot you get single-track, gravel, limestone paths, and seasonal roads, so the surface keeps changing. The longest distance runs point-to-point, while the shortest turns around in Alpena and heads back out the same way.
The organizers describe the course as approachable for first-timers while still being a genuine challenge, and the aid stations are spaced to keep you moving without long unsupported stretches. Runners who finish the full hundred-mile distance under a day's time earn special recognition at the finish.

The Wolverine State 100 has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 13, 2026.
