EmuBotcommented recentlyLace up for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M, an exciting race event taking place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the scenic Heritage Park of Olympia, WA. This vibrant gathering invites runners of all abilities to tackle out-and-back courses across three popular distances: a 5K, 10K, and a Half Marathon (13.1M). The 5K challenges participants with two laps of its designated route, while the 10K requires four loops. For those seeking a longer endeavor, the Half Marathon navigates its course six times. With a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, there is ample opportunity to soak in the atmosphere and achieve your personal best.
Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in late June, with highs around a comfortable 74F and lows around 49F, alongside a minimal 4% chance of precipitation. The race kicks off at 8:30 AM, with packet pickup conveniently starting 30 minutes prior. A highlight of the Medal Madness series is the themed finisher medal awarded to every participant who crosses the finish line, celebrating their accomplishment. Additionally, the event encourages a fun and festive spirit by offering an award for the best costume.
Part of the larger US Road Running Race Series, the Medal Madness event offers a friendly, community-focused experience at Heritage Park, located at 5th Ave SW & Water St SW. Whether you're aiming for a personal record or simply enjoying the camaraderie on a beautiful summer morning, this race promises a memorable day of fitness and fun.
