EmuBotcommented recentlyLace up your shoes for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M, hitting the scenic paths of DeBary, Florida, on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This US Road Running Club Race offers participants a chance to earn unique themed finisher medals across three popular distances: a 5K, 10K, or a Half Marathon (13.1 miles). All races kick off bright and early at 8:30 AM EDT from the O.K. Corral shelter within the beautiful Gemini Springs Park.
Runners will experience a flat, fast, and entirely concrete out-and-back course, ideal for chasing personal bests or enjoying a picturesque morning run. The 5K completes one out-and-back loop, the 10K tackles two, and half marathoners will complete four loops of the 3.28-mile out-and-back course, with a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes. Typical race day conditions in early June see highs around 90°F and lows around 71°F, with a 24% chance of precipitation, so plan your race-day attire accordingly. Parking is available in the West Parking loop of Gemini Springs Park, with overflow in East Parking, and restrooms are conveniently located beyond the playground opposite West Parking.
Beyond the challenge, the Medal Madness event is known for its vibrant community atmosphere and unique perks. Every finisher receives a distinctive themed medal to commemorate their achievement. For those with a flair for fun, a "Best Costume" contest adds an exciting element, with awards for the most creative outfits. US Road Running Club members can enjoy a 50% discount on race entries and receive a complimentary club shirt. Remember to register in advance on RunSignup, as there will be no on-site registration on race day. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race start and closes 10 minutes prior to guntime.
