Medal Madness is a US Road Running event that takes place on the Beavercreek Bike path. The race includes multiple distance options including a 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon.
At the fall edition of this race on September 13, 2025, I completed my 100th lifetime Half Marathon. This race was special because all three of my daughters were there to cheer me on.
Run like a CHEETAH is the poster my daughter made me for inspiration. It is referring to the XC running group that I coach, as well as the super fast animal which inspired the group’s name .
I ran my fastest Half Marathon in the past three years, and finished as the first over all female at a very small race, which only included two women.
The 2nd place woman finishing 25 seconds after me was half my age and running her very first half marathon. We both set a goal to run sub 2-Hours, which we both achieved.
I selected the Ninja themed medal as my award for finishing my 100th half. Thanks US Road Running for another great race.
