Lace up your running shoes for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, an engaging event set to take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the scenic Whitehall Park in Richmond, KY. This family-friendly race offers distances for every ambition, from a challenging 13.1-mile Half Marathon to a spirited 10K and a swift 5K. Kicking off at 8:30 AM, participants will enjoy an out-and-back course, with the 5K covering two loops, the 10K completing four loops, and Half Marathoners tackling six loops of the route. Typical race day conditions in mid-March often bring pleasant temperatures, with highs around 59°F and lows around 36°F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

What makes Medal Madness stand out is its vibrant atmosphere and unique incentives. Every finisher earns a themed medal to commemorate their achievement, a perfect reward for your efforts. For those who love to express their creativity, a "Best Costume" competition adds a fun twist, offering a special award to the winner. The Half Marathon features a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, ensuring ample time for all participants to enjoy the course and reach their personal goals.

Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the 8:30 AM start, concluding just 10 minutes prior to race time. Note that all registrations must be completed online via RunSignup, as there will be no on-site registration available.
