Medal Madness 5K & 13.1M at Hickory, NC (36)

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for an exhilarating race experience! Our event kicks off at 8:30 AM sharp. Be sure to pick up your packet between 8:00 and 8:20 AM, as registration is only available online prior to race day—no on-site sign-ups! Whether you choose the 5K with two laps or tackle the half marathon with six, both courses offer a scenic out-and-back route to test your stamina. But that's not all – we're all about the fun as well! Show off your creativity and join us in costume for a chance to win the best dressed award, with a group photo before the run to capture the moment. Cross the finish line within the 3 hours and 30 minutes limit to claim your themed finisher medal. Plus, you'll earn points towards the US Road Running Race Series. On your mark, get set, go – this is one event you won't want to miss!
