Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Little Rock, AR (24)

Lace up for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M, an exciting running event taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in scenic Little Rock, Arkansas. Offering distances for every ambition—a 5K, 10K, and a Half Marathon (13.1M)—this race promises a rewarding experience in the heart of Two Rivers Park. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature highs around 89°F and lows near 69°F, with a slight 12% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but potentially refreshing morning run.

The course itself is an enjoyable out-and-back route, entirely paved with asphalt, winding through the beautiful Two Rivers Park at 6900 Two Rivers Park Road. Runners can soak in the scenic surroundings of this expansive park, known for its wooded wetlands and open fields at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Maumelle Rivers, offering a generally flat and accessible running experience. The 5K completes the out-and-back course once, the 10K tackles it twice, and half marathoners embrace the challenge with four loops of the 3.28-mile segment. Adding to the festive atmosphere, participants are encouraged to wear costumes, with an award for the best costume presented before the race starts.

All finishers will be celebrated with a unique themed medal to commemorate their achievement, a hallmark of the "Medal Madness" event. The race kicks off promptly at 8:00 AM, with packet pickup beginning 30 minutes prior; no on-site registration is available. A generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes ensures that runners of all paces can comfortably complete their chosen distance. Conveniently, bathrooms are located by the playground, near the starting line.
