Lace up for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and 13.1M on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in scenic Fort Pierce, Florida. This vibrant event, part of the US Road Running Race Series, offers an engaging experience for runners of all levels on an asphalt, out-and-back course designed to showcase the picturesque landscape of St. Lucie. The race kicks off at 8:30 AM from the tennis courts, with convenient packet pickup available starting 30 minutes prior; remember, all registrations must be completed online.
Runners will navigate a flat course, with the 5K completing one loop, the 10K tackling two, and half marathoners enjoying four loops of the 3.28-mile route. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 89F and lows around 74F, with an 18% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm Florida run. A generous 6-hour time limit for the half marathon ensures everyone has the opportunity to achieve their goals.
Beyond the personal challenge, this family-friendly race promises a fun atmosphere, awarding all finishers a themed medal to commemorate their accomplishment. Runners are encouraged to embrace the "madness" and don their best costumes, with awards given for the most creative. Bathrooms are conveniently located in the pavilion by the starting line, ensuring a smooth start to your Medal Madness journey.
