US Road Running - Gadsden

Medal Madness 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon at James D. Martin Park in Gadsden, Alabama, is staged on the James D. Martin Trail Park behind the Gadsden Mall.

The event offers three distances: 5K, 10K, and a Half Marathon, all run on a pea gravel trail. The 5K and 10K use a shared out-and-back course, with the shorter race repeating the out-and-back segment to reach its distance; the Half Marathon uses an out-and-back path repeated six times. Runners must register in advance on RunSignup; there is no on-site registration.

Special features include finisher medals, a gear/shirt shop, and a Best Costume award. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
