About the Mint Hill Lions Club - Madness 5K
The race starts and finishes at Mint Hill Town Hall, putting runners in the heart of a small town center. The course is a standard road distance through the area, and the event raises money for organizations that serve people with vision impairments, so the field tends to draw people who have a connection to that cause alongside everyday runners.
Packet pickup the evening before is at a bar a short walk from the start, which makes it easy to combine with dinner. Race-morning pickup is available at the town hall for those coming in fresh. There is beer at the finish, and a raffle runs afterward.

The Mint Hill Lions Club - Madness 5K has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
