Lace up for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, Half Marathon (13.1M), and Marathon (26.2M) on March 7, 2026, in scenic Beavercreek, Ohio. This energetic event, kicking off bright and early at 8:00 AM from E.J. Nutter Park, offers a welcoming atmosphere for both seasoned competitors and first-time racers alike.

With a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for the half marathon and 6 hours for the full marathon, there's ample opportunity to achieve your goals.

What truly sets Medal Madness apart is its festive spirit and commitment to celebrating every finisher. All participants are encouraged to embrace the fun by wearing costumes, with an award given for the best one, adding an extra layer of camaraderie to the day. Every finisher is rewarded with a stunning themed medal to commemorate their accomplishment, making this event a memorable experience.
