Medal Madness 5K, 10K and Half Marathon

Lace up for the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon in historic Williamsburg, VA, on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This popular event, part of the US Road Running Race Series, offers a vibrant and supportive atmosphere for runners of all paces. Participants can choose between a scenic 5K, a challenging 10K, or an exhilarating Half Marathon, each run on a picturesque out-and-back course, typically located in the vicinity of Freedom Park. The 5K covers one loop (approximately 3.28 miles), the 10K completes two loops, and half marathoners will tackle four loops to reach their 13.1-mile goal.

What truly sets the Medal Madness series apart is its commitment to a fun and rewarding runner experience. Every finisher earns a unique, themed medal, a perfect commemoration of your achievement. Runners are also encouraged to embrace the spirit of the event by wearing costumes, with an award for the "Best Costume" adding an extra layer of camaraderie. With a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for the Half Marathon, this event welcomes all participants to enjoy the scenic routes and community spirit.
