Peak-A-Palooza: A Wolverine State 100 Training Weekend
Saturday, September 5 & Sunday, September 6, 2026
Stony Creek Metropark
Shelby Township, MI

Put the "labor" in Labor Day Weekend with a two-day push at or near our mileage peak! Ambassador Sean will supervise back-to-back long runs at beautiful Stony Creek Metropark, located about 30 miles north of Downtown Detroit. The routes will be in loops, so runners can use their cars as custom aid stations. Meet other runners, secure your gear and fueling strategies, and celebrate at the Temple of Time On Feet!

Saturday, September 5: Loop! (There It Is)
Time: 8a - 2p (pre-run meeting at 7:45)
Park Location: The Landing
Parking lot:  The Landing Parking - https://maps.app.goo.gl/cna4EnXmLZEvCAa86

This is a paved ring that measures almost exactly 6 miles when taken clockwise. There is a rest shelter with several bathrooms at The Landing where we start, and an outhouse at Mile 3. Sean plans to run five laps, or 30 miles. Feel free to scale to your needs, but please be aware that the park closes at 10 p.m.

When you turn in for The Landing, Sean recommends you go toward the half of the parking lot to your right to park near the Mile 0 marker. The trail is less than 20 feet away, making it very easy to duck to your car for a rooftop "aid station." There will be a check-in table at Mile 0 with paper copies of the Trivium Racing waiver. Runners who wish may leave food and gear for themselves here, but be aware that space is first come, first served, and runners leave items at their own risk.

Sunday, September 6: Trails and Tribulations
Time: 8a - 2p (pre-run meeting at 7:45)
Park Location: Shelden Trails Parking Lot B
Parking lot - https://maps.app.goo.gl/gLGbCtck6qKb7SHT7

The Shelden Trails feature over 14 miles of mixed single-track and double-track trails. While the overall network is fairly flat, there are some hills and technical mountain bike features that make for an exciting run! There is a restroom next to Parking Lot B, and another nearby at Parking Lot C. The route will be made available on Strava and printed maps before the run. Sean plans to create a loop about 5 to 6 miles long and run three to four laps. Runners are welcome to "detour" to add miles, but should check signage carefully, as many single-track trails are one-directional.

To reach Parking Lot B, follow Park Rd until you see signage for the Shelden Trails. After this turn, Parking Lots A and B will be the first right; Parking Lot B is on the left. There is a paved turnaround at the end of this parking lot where the pre-run meeting and check-in table will be, along with paper copies of the Trivium Racing waiver. Runners who wish may leave food and gear for themselves here, but be aware that space is first come, first served, and runners leave items at their own risk.

Stony Creek is a metropark, so a metropark pass is required to enter.
