Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

Lace up your running shoes for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, taking place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in beautiful DeBary, Florida. This vibrant event, held at scenic Gemini Springs Park, offers participants the choice of three distances: a 5K, 10K, or a challenging 13.1-mile half marathon, all kicking off at 8:30 AM EDT. As part of the US Road Running Race Series, the Medal Madness event is known for its community spirit and family-friendly atmosphere, welcoming runners and walkers of all levels to enjoy a memorable race experience.

The course itself features a flat, concrete surface winding through Gemini Springs Park, providing a smooth and accessible run. Runners will navigate an out-and-back route, with the 5K completing one loop, the 10K tackling two, and half marathoners taking on four repetitions of a longer segment. Typical race day conditions in late June can see highs around 92°F and lows near 73°F, with a 25% chance of precipitation, so prepare accordingly. The half marathon has a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, ensuring ample time to achieve your goal. Packet pickup and the start/finish line are conveniently located at the O.K. Corral shelter within Gemini Springs Park.

What truly sets Medal Madness apart is its unique approach to finisher awards: participants get to choose from a selection of themed medals from past or future events, making your achievement even more personal. Additionally, the race encourages a festive spirit with a "Best Costume" award, inviting you to showcase your creativity and potentially earn extra recognition. With no on-site registration available, ensure you sign up in advance to secure your spot in this fun-filled and supportive race day.
