REGISTRATION AFTER JUNE 21st will NOT guarantee your shirt size.  We ordered PLENTY of extras, but they will be given out in order of registration and by availability. THIS COULD MEAN that part of your family/grpup will receive their requested size and others will not.  Please note, we want EVERYONE to have a shirt, and we carefully assign each shirt to make this possible.

The Medina County Senior & Adult Services Twin Sizzler Series is excited for 2026, once again planning all your favorite races: 5k, 10k, Fun Run, Kid's Run, and 27 Mile Bike Race, all starting from Medina's historic Public Square.  As always, runners/riders are welcome to participate in one or multiple races, as the start times allow runners to pair the 5k & 10k and cyclists to pair the 5k run & bike race.

(Please note that due to all 5k, 10k, and bikers receiving a finisher's medal, age group awards will be limited to just the first-place winners.)  

Pre-race packet pickup options:  Thursday, July 2nd, 4 PM- 6:30 PM at the Medina County Administration Building located at 144 N. Broadway Street.

Race Day:  6:30 AM at the tent across from Second Sole and the public restrooms.
