How fast is it?
Slower than most US 100-mile races
The fastest quarter of the 2025 100-mile race field finished under 24:20:59, against 23:34:30 in a typical US 100-mile race, so times here run 3 percent slower.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
Typical race-day weather
Around October 10 the day usually runs from 46°F at dawn to 60°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 35% of days. Cold snaps dip to 39°F and hot years reach 73°F.
Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.

From the organizers
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!
