Lace up for an exciting challenge at the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, set to take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in scenic Biglerville, Pennsylvania. This vibrant event, hosted at Oakside Community Park (with many finding "Redbud Park" to be the most accurate entry point for the playground area), offers runners of all levels an opportunity to achieve their goals. The race kicks off bright and early at 8:30 AM, with packet pickup available starting at 8:00 AM; remember, all registrations must be completed online via RunSignup, as no on-site registration will be available.

The Medal Madness courses feature an engaging out-and-back design, providing a clear path for participants. The 5K challengers will complete two laps of a 0.78-mile route, while 10K runners will tackle four laps. Those taking on the Half Marathon will navigate six loops of a longer 1.09-mile out-and-back course, all within a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit. As you push towards the finish line, expect typical race day conditions in early March with highs around 46F and lows near 28F, accompanied by a modest 11% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets Medal Madness apart is its commitment to celebration: every finisher in the 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon will be rewarded with a unique themed medal to commemorate their accomplishment. Beyond the thrill of the run, participants are encouraged to embrace the festive atmosphere by joining the best costume contest, with awards presented at the start of the race. This event also contributes to points for the US Road Running Race Series, adding an extra layer of competitive spirit for series participants.
