Prepare for a rewarding trail running experience at the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, set to take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in scenic Tallahassee, Florida. Kicking off at 8:00 AM, this event offers a welcoming atmosphere for runners tackling 5K, 10K, or 13.1-mile distances. Typical race day conditions in early March present pleasant weather, with highs around 73°F and lows near 47°F, alongside a minimal 12% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal climate for hitting the trails.

The Medal Madness courses wind through the picturesque Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway, offering a beautiful trail surface rather than a hard road. Runners will enjoy an engaging out-and-back layout, with the 5K completing two loops, the 10K four loops, and the Half Marathon challenging participants with six loops of the course. This multi-loop design provides consistent access to the start/finish area and immerses runners in the natural beauty of the Tallahassee greenway. Participants have a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes to complete their chosen distance.

As part of the esteemed US Road Running Race Series, this event promises not only a fulfilling run but also a touch of fun. All finishers will proudly receive a themed medal to commemorate their achievement. Adding to the festive spirit, runners are encouraged to don their most creative costumes for a chance to win the "Best Costume" award. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race, but remember, all registrations must be completed online, as there will be no on-site sign-ups. Convenient parking is available at the Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway.
