The Midwest States 100 is a rugged wilderness ultramarathon held in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest of Wisconsin, primarily navigating the glaciated terrain of the iconic Ice Age Trail. Runners tackle a challenging 34-hour cutoff through dense forests and rocky paths, experiencing a remote, grassroots atmosphere that purposefully lacks cellular service. This event offers a back-to-basics adventure where the trail’s natural beauty is matched by its technical difficulty and a tight-knit community of participants.
