Come enjoy a fun run with Rocket City Runners! 🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️

We’re bringing back one of Huntsville’s most unique and exciting race experiences — the Random Medal 5K, Part 2!

This year, we’re changing things up and adding even more mystery! 👀🎁

After completing your 3.1-mile journey, the real fun begins! You’ll make your way to the Rocket City Runners Mystery Medal Boxes, where you’ll reach in and pull a random RCR-designed finisher medal.

But we’re not stopping there!

Next, you’ll head to the RunningLane Mystery Medal Boxes and pull a second random RunningLane medal.

🎁 The catch? NO PEEKING! 👀

Simply reach in, grab your surprise medal, and discover which unique design you earned. Every runner gets a different surprise, and you won’t know what you’re getting until race day!

🏅 TWO MEDALS. ONE MYSTERY.
Every finisher is guaranteed TWO medals:

🥇 1 Random Rocket City Runners Medal
🥇 1 Random RunningLane Medal

You won't know which designs you'll receive until you cross the finish line!

👕 BONUS FOR THE FIRST 250 RUNNERS!
The first 250 registered runners are guaranteed a one-of-a-kind Random Medal 5K shirt!

1 Largest Group Award !

⚠️ The race is strictly capped at 500 runners, so once we hit 500 registrations, registration is CLOSED!

Whether you walk, jog, crawl, or run, come join us for an unforgettable morning filled with community, excitement, surprises, and a little mystery at the finish line!
