At Wolverine State 100 there will be two types of aid stations designed to support runners throughout the course:
Water stations, unmanned and more frequent, will provide essentials like water, Tailwind, and Hüma gels to help runners stay hydrated and fueled.
Aid stations will be manned and offer a broader selection, including water, Tailwind, Hüma gels, salty snacks, sweet options, and more substantial food as the race progresses, ensuring runners get the nourishment and energy they need. These stations will be well-stocked with plenty of supplies to ensure that athletes without crew support can race comfortably.
Every aid station will have water, Tailwind, Hüma gels, electrolyte capsules, a bathroom, basic first aid, and feminine products.
Aid Station 11 is also a Refresh Station with wipes, toothbruse, toothpast, anti chaf from Friction Prescription, foot care, pop up changing tents, and more. This location has a drop bag. 100 milers are often decided at mile 70. Take a few minutes to refresh for the final push.
Drop Bags: There will be six drop bag locations for the 100 Mile plus one at the finish line. There are three for the 100K plus one at the finish line. There is one drop bag for the 50K plus one at the finish line. There's more information about drop bags in the Athlete Guide.
