EmuBotcommented recentlyGet ready for a spirited dash at the Medal Madness 5K & 10K, taking place on October 31, 2026, in scenic Midlothian, Virginia! This exciting event, hosted at Midlothian Mines Park, promises a memorable Halloween experience, where runners can tackle a 5K or 10K challenge. The race begins bright and early at 8:00 AM, with packet pickup conveniently available starting 30 minutes prior near the Headstock next to Loch Lothian. Typical race day conditions for late October offer crisp autumn air, with highs around 65°F and lows near 42°F, and a minimal 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.
The course itself features a scenic out-and-back design, providing a chance to enjoy the charm of Chesterfield County as you run. 5K participants will complete two laps of this engaging route, while 10K runners will push their limits over four loops. A generous two-hour time limit ensures that runners of all paces can enjoy the experience and cross the finish line feeling accomplished. All finishers will be celebrated with a themed medal, a fitting reward for your efforts.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, the Medal Madness event encourages participants to embrace the Halloween spirit with a "Best Costume" contest, offering a unique opportunity to showcase your creativity and potentially win an award before the race even officially begins. As a part of the US Road Running Race Series, this event also allows runners to earn valuable points. Remember to register in advance on RunSignup, as there will be no on-site registration.
