Lace up your running shoes for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, set to take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in sunny Naples, Florida. This US Road Running Club Race offers a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself across various distances in the beautiful setting of Eagle Lakes Community Park. All participants will receive a themed finisher medal, and runners are encouraged to embrace the "madness" by donning their most creative costumes for a chance to win the best costume award.

The race kicks off at 8:00 AM, promising ideal running conditions with typical March highs around 79°F and lows around 60°F, accompanied by a minimal 4% chance of precipitation. The course itself is an out-and-back route on asphalt, known for its flat terrain, making it perfect for those chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a scenic run. The 5K involves one loop of this course, the 10K doubles the challenge with two loops, and Half Marathon participants will complete four loops. With a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, there's ample time to achieve your goals.

The start and finish lines are conveniently located by the tennis courts within Eagle Lakes Community Park, with restrooms available in the nearby pavilion. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race and closes 10 minutes prior to the start, so be sure to register online in advance as there is no on-site registration.
