Medal Madness 5K, and 10K

Lace up for a personalized running experience at the Medal Madness 5K and 10K on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in scenic Tarpon Springs, Florida. Hosted at the beautiful Fred Howard Park, this intimate event offers a welcoming atmosphere for runners and walkers alike. Participants will navigate a flat, out-and-back course along a "very nice" stone trail, with 5K runners completing three laps and 10K entrants tackling six, each lap spanning approximately 1.04 miles. The race kicks off at 8:00 AM, with packet pickup beginning 30 minutes prior, and a generous two-hour time limit allows ample time to enjoy the journey.

What truly sets the Medal Madness apart is its focus on community and unique finisher rewards. Limited to just 50 registrations, these small races by US Road Running are designed for runners to connect. As you cross the finish line, you'll have the distinct pleasure of selecting one of several large, 3-inch finisher medals to commemorate your achievement. Overall awards are placards that affix to your chosen medal, creating a lasting memento. Expect typical race day conditions in mid-June to be warm, with highs around 90F and lows near 75F, and about a 19% chance of precipitation. Ensure you register online via RunSignup, as no on-site registration is available.
