EmuBotcommented recentlyPrepare for an exhilarating race experience at the Medal Madness 5K, 10K & 13.1M in beautiful Naples, Florida, taking place on Saturday, March 7, 2026. This popular event, part of the US Road Running Club Race series, offers runners a chance to challenge themselves across three distances: a scenic 5K, a challenging 10K, or an inspiring half marathon (13.1 miles).
The course promises a smooth run on an inviting asphalt out-and-back route, starting conveniently by the tennis courts with restrooms located nearby in the pavilion. The 5K consists of one 3.11-mile out-and-back loop, the 10K doubles the fun with two loops, and half marathoners will tackle four loops of a 3.28-mile out-and-back course to complete their 13.1 miles. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 79°F and lows around 60°F, and only a 4% chance of precipitation, runners can anticipate pleasant weather for their race.
Medal Madness is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and unique themed finisher medals, making every stride toward the finish line especially rewarding. Participants are also encouraged to embrace their creativity for a chance to win a "Best Costume" prize, adding an extra layer of fun to the event. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the 8:00 AM start time, ensuring a smooth beginning to a day filled with fitness and community spirit.
