Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

Step onto the starting line for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, taking place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the charming town of Hughesville, Pennsylvania. Kicking off at 8:00 AM EDT from Lime Bluff Park, this event offers runners of all levels a chance to achieve their goals across three popular distances: a 5K, 10K, or a challenging 13.1-mile Half Marathon. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 84F and lows near 61F, and a modest 17% chance of precipitation. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race, but be sure to register online as no on-site registration will be available.

The Medal Madness courses are designed as engaging out-and-back loops, promising scenic views as you make your way. The 5K runners will complete the course twice, 10K participants will tackle it four times, and those embracing the half marathon challenge will navigate the route six times. This setup provides a consistent running experience and a chance to familiarize yourself with the terrain. A generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes ensures participants can enjoy the race at their own pace, whether aiming for a personal best or simply soaking in the atmosphere.

As part of the US Road Running Race Series, the Medal Madness event is known for its family-friendly spirit and unique finisher medals awarded to all who cross the finish line. Adding to the fun, costumes are highly encouraged, with an award presented for the best costume—so come ready to run in style! A group photo will be taken at the start of each race to capture the camaraderie and excitement before you embark on your Medal Madness journey.
