Get ready for a rewarding experience at the Medal Madness 5K and 10K, set to take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in scenic Roof Park, New Cumberland, PA. Kicking off at 8:30 AM, this event promises a friendly and engaging atmosphere for runners of all levels. Participants will tackle an out-and-back course; the 5K involves three loops of the 0.52-mile course segment (approximately 1.04 miles per full loop), while the 10K challenges runners with six loops. A generous two-hour time limit ensures everyone has ample opportunity to cross the finish line and achieve their goals.

This US Road Running Race Series event is renowned for its welcoming, small-group feel, fostering camaraderie among participants. What truly makes the Medal Madness stand out is its commitment to celebrating every achievement: all finishers proudly receive a distinctive, large 3-inch medal to commemorate their effort. If you've collected a particular design before, alternate finisher medals are available, making each race unique. Typical race day conditions in early March often bring highs around 50°F and lows around 31°F, with just a 10% chance of precipitation, creating crisp and comfortable running weather.

Beyond the personal challenge, runners can embrace the fun with a costume contest, adding a festive flair to the event. Packet pickup begins at 8:00 AM, 30 minutes before the race starts, but remember, on-site registration will not be available. Walkers are warmly encouraged, ensuring an inclusive experience for the entire running community.
