Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and 13.1M

Get ready to earn some serious hardware at the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and 13.1M on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in sunny Hudson, Florida! Kicking off at 8:00 AM EDT, this vibrant event offers runners of all levels the chance to challenge themselves across three distances. Participants will navigate a scenic out-and-back course, with 5K runners completing two loops, 10K participants tackling four, and half marathoners conquering six loops of a 2.18-mile segment. With a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit, you'll have ample opportunity to achieve your goals.

What makes Medal Madness truly unique is the finisher experience: every participant gets to select their own themed medal at the finish line, often from a diverse collection of designs. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race at the Splash Pad area behind the Aquatic Center, so arrive early to prepare, as there is no on-site registration. Typical race day conditions in late June for Hudson, Florida, include highs around 91F and lows around 76F, with a 21% chance of precipitation.
