The Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon beckons runners to a spirited event in Augusta, GA, on March 28, 2026. This installment of the US Road Running Race Series offers distances for every ambition, from a brisk 5K to an invigorating 10K and a challenging 13.1-mile Half Marathon. Participants will navigate an engaging out-and-back course winding through the scenic Mill Village Trailhead. Expect a "rolling course" with a "trail surface," providing an enjoyable and varied running experience. The 5K completes the course once, the 10K twice, and the Half Marathon four times.

Race day kicks off bright and early at 8:00 AM, with convenient packet pickup starting 30 minutes before the race. Parking is readily available at the trailhead and near Ann Boardman Park. Typical race day conditions in late March in Augusta offer comfortable highs around 74F and lows near 52F, with a minimal 13% chance of precipitation, setting the stage for ideal running weather. All finishers are rewarded with a distinctive themed medal, a cherished hallmark of the Medal Madness series. Adding a touch of flair, runners are encouraged to embrace the festive spirit by donning their most creative costumes for a chance to win the coveted "Best Costume" award.

Beyond the personal challenge, this event offers the opportunity to accumulate points towards the US Road Running Race Series, fostering a vibrant community atmosphere. With a generous course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for the Half Marathon, there's ample time to push your limits and celebrate your achievements.
