Race Information
Join Trivium for WTF Eastside! Some call it the Winter Trail Fest. Others just think, “What the F…?!” Join them at Island Lake in Brighton, Michigan for a Half Marathon or 5 Mile run or ruck designed to embrace the messiest, most unpredictable conditions February has to offer. Snow? Ice? Slush? Perfect. You’ll earn every inch of your WTF hoodie, medal, and bragging rights. Worried about the cold? Don’t be. The late morning start gives you time to sleep in and lets the temps rise just enough before you hit the trails. This race is for those who crave a challenge. The gnarlier the conditions, the cooler the participants. WTF is all about embracing uncertainty and chasing adventure.
