This US Road Running Club Race welcomes all runners to its vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere, offering distances for every pace.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 54°F and lows near 33°F, accompanied by a 16% chance of precipitation, making for potentially crisp and invigorating running weather. What truly sets this event apart is its unique focus on celebration: every finisher receives a themed medal to commemorate their achievement, and participants are encouraged to embrace the fun by dressing in costumes for a chance to win a special award.
Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the start and closes 10 minutes prior to race time, so plan to arrive early. Remember, all registrations must be completed online in advance, as there will be no on-site registration. With a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for the half marathon and 2 hours for the 5K and 10K, the Medal Madness event promises an exhilarating experience filled with camaraderie and the satisfaction of earning your well-deserved medal.
