UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MICHIGAN — 2025-10-11 — Petoskey. "Wolverine State 100". 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 penninsula 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! Athletes will navigate a variety of terrain, including single-track trails, gravel roads, limestone paths, and seasonal roads. 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 for seasoned vets. Special awards will be given to those finishing the 100-mile race in under 24 hours, and we'll also have a generous cutoff time to encourage more participants to tackle this incredible course. You can expect frequent, well-stocked aid stations approximately every 5 to 8 miles to keep you fueled and supported throughout the race. www.runsignup.com/Race/MI/Petoskey/WolverineState100

This is the December edition of our popular Brazos Bend races with the marquee event being the 100-mile. The Brazos Bend 100 is the largest trail race in Texas and one of the fastest trail races in the world on flat and smooth trails with incredible support from four aid stations per loop. The top 3 were under 16 hours in 2024. The course is 99.9% flat, and the only "hill" is a 10-foot rise over 0.1 of a mile. The rest of the ~16.7mi loop is flat surfaces that move from hard crushed rock, soft hiking trails under tree canopy, and smooth horse trails. Most runners get away with a road shoe. Conditions in December can have a mix of anything but are typically great for running. Brazos Bend is a spectacular State Park located just South of Houston/Sugar Land and is most known for its abundance of birds and American Alligators among other wildlife. The gators are a part of our race; there has never been an incident in the parks 50 year history. Enjoy them on your run, from a distance, and you may get some unique race photos!

UNITED KINGDOM ENGLAND — 2026-01-10 — Wendover. "Country to Capital". It’s true to say our always-popular Country to Capital Ultra attracts a global field, with some of the best runners in Britain and beyond racing the 43-mile course. This famous race is the curtain raiser for the ultra running season and the starting point for those brave Go Beyond runners wishing to take on our Grand Slam of four ultra marathons over 180 grueling miles. Country to Capital takes you through the Buckinghamshire countryside, crossing the M25—by bridge, of course!—and heading towards the well-heeled surroundings of Denham. From there, runners pick up the Grand Union Canal towpath for the final run into London, finishing near the Little Venice canal basin, a surprisingly tranquil setting in the heart of the capital and close to both Paddington and Royal Oak Tube stations. The race concludes at The Stowe Centre, where you can enjoy showers, toilets, and a large hall to relax in after finishing. Country to Capital is historically a sell-out event, so be sure to get your entry in early. It is fully tracked and interactive, allowing your friends and family to follow your progress from the comfort of their armchairs while also ensuring that you are following the route correctly! www.gobeyondchallenge.com/ultra-marathons/country-to-capital-ultra
AUSTRALIA VICTORIA — 2026-01-11 — Dromana. "Two Bays Trail Run". Two Bays Trail Run. Great holiday vibe and multi-faceted course between Dromana on the Port Phillip Bay side and Cape Schanck on the Bass Strait side. That's a 28km crossing (or 56km double crossing) of the Mornington Peninsula - and not at the skinny bit! Up and over Arthur's Seat for fantastic rural and coastal views. Through Greens Bush, the largest piece of remnant native bushland on the Peninsula. Along the cliff tops of Bass Straight approaching the lighthouse. www.twobaystrailrun.com
PORTUGAL — 2026-01-15 — Torre. "Terra de Gigantes Ultramarathon". It’s not just another ultramarathon. It’s a long journey between the highest point in mainland Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean, in this case, Nazaré. A journey of astonishment, of encounter, of contact with traditions, but also of faith - without the need to be a believer. It will be a very special time. Crossing a country, in this case, Portugal, from east to west is guaranteed to be a huge journey and an extraordinary experience. The challenge of crossing Portugal from east to west, from the highest point in the country to the beach with the biggest waves in the world, is necessarily for giants. But it’s more. It’s a bit more than effort and glory. It’s courage, management, and a lot of resilience along the paths that take them from the Serra da Estrela to the isolated and beautiful Schist Villages in Lousã. It’s paths of faith around Fátima Sanctuary that will take you to the magnificent and gigantic waves of Nazaré. It will be at the beginning of winter and, traditionally, a time of very low temperatures and rain. Starting at the highest point in Portugal means beginning the challenge with negative temperatures and, who knows, snow. It’s this set of factors, associated with the distance and unevenness, that will make you a giant. www.horizontes.pt/en/terra-de-gigantes
