Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and 13.1M

Get ready to earn some serious hardware at the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and 13.1M, hitting Shreveport, Louisiana, on Saturday, June 27, 2026! This popular event, hosted by US Road Running, offers a fantastic opportunity for runners of all levels to challenge themselves and take home an impressive finisher medal. Kick off your morning at 8:00 AM from the Stoner Avenue Skate Plaza, conveniently located next to the soccer fields.

The course for all distances is an engaging out-and-back design. Whether you're tackling the swift 5K, which completes the route once, pushing through the 10K with two loops, or conquering the half marathon over four repetitions, you'll experience the same scenic path. With a generous course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, there's ample time to achieve your goals and soak in the race day atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in late June for Shreveport can see highs around 93F and lows around 73F, so prepare for a warm, humid run.

Beyond the challenge and the coveted medal, the Medal Madness event fosters a fun, community-focused environment. Runners can even embrace their creativity by participating in the "Best Costume" competition. As a US Road Running Club Race, this event also allows participants to earn points towards the annual race series. Remember to register in advance as there is no on-site registration, and packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the 8:00 AM start time, closing just 10 minutes prior to the gun.
