About the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M, Bowling Green, KY (04)
The course is gravel throughout, and the route is out-and-back, repeated several times depending on your distance. That structure means you cover the same stretch multiple times, which suits some runners and wears on others. The surroundings are a park, though the course runs on unpacked surface rather than pavement, so trail shoes or at least something with grip are worth thinking about.
Packet pickup opens shortly before the start and closes just before the gun, so arriving early matters. There is no on-site registration, meaning everything needs to be handled in advance through the race's registration platform.
