Medal Madness 5K, 10K, 13.1M, & 26.2M at Stillwater, OK

Medal Madness 5K, 10K, 13.1M, & 26.2M at Stillwater, OK takes place in Stillwater, Oklahoma on March 6, 2027. All four distances start together at 8:00 a.m.: the 5K, the 10K, the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the full marathon (26.2 miles). Having the marathon share a gun with the 5K is unusual and worth knowing about, since the early miles will be busy with runners racing something much shorter than you are.

Hold your own pace through that opening stretch and let the field sort itself out. A March marathon rewards a winter of consistent mileage, so plan on 16 to 18 weeks with a long run every week and some running at goal pace. Runners who want the same event without the recovery bill can take the half, and the 10K works well as a fitness test inside a longer spring build.
