Parking is readily available in the lot by the Crossroads Tennis Courts, located off Prairie View Road, and restrooms are situated behind the tennis court. A highlight of the Medal Madness event is the themed finisher medal awarded to all who cross the finish line, with the added perk of top finishers getting first pick of these commemorative awards. Participants are also encouraged to embrace the festive atmosphere by wearing costumes, with an award for the best-dressed runner.
