Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Charlotte, NC (44)

The Medal Madness race in Charlotte begins next to Marion Diehl Adaptive Field at 8:30 AM, offering participants a 5K, 10K, or half marathon. It is a standard road race with registration exclusively through RunSignup; no race-day registration is available. Packet pickup is open from 30 minutes before the start until 10 minutes prior to the gun. The 5K and 10K follow an identical out-and-back course. The 5K is completed once, and the 10K is completed twice. The half marathon also uses an out-and-back format, repeating its loop four times. Participants should anticipate a course with repeated segments rather than a point-to-point tour of Charlotte. All finishers get medals, awards are presented, series points are tallied, and a Best Costume award is included, adding a fun Medal Madness element to the standard race format.
