Runtoberfest is a fall-themed 5K run/walk in McMinnville, beginning and ending at McMinnville High School’s Wortman Stadium. The event includes a Kid’s Mile for children 12 and under, designed for families and regular runners alike. The race supports the McMinnville Education Foundation, with runners selecting a school affiliation during registration. One Mac 40 school will receive the Golden Shoe Trophy, adding a school-spirit element beyond the 5K.

Der 1st Annual Run for Resilience Ostomy 5K ist ein 5K-Lauf, der in Portland, Oregon, im Laurelhurst Park stattfindet, und zwar zum Ostomy Awareness Day. Das ist ein familienfreundlicher Lauf mit einer OPEN Division und einer OSTOMATE Division. So können Ostomates eine eigene Kategorie wählen, während Freunde, Verwandte, Kollegen und andere Unterstützer trotzdem beim selben Event dabei sein können. Beim Lauf gibt's außerdem lokale Anbieter, Essen, Musik und Aktivitäten für jedes Alter. Die Strecke ist im Laurelhurst Park, einem historischen Park in Portland, der schon vor über einem Jahrhundert angelegt wurde. Dort gibt es zum Beispiel den Firwood Lake. Alle Einnahmen gehen an die United Ostomy Associations of America, eine 501(c)(3) gemeinnützige Organisation, die Menschen mit einem Stoma oder einer kontinenten Diversion mit Ressourcen, Aufklärung, Interessenvertretung und Unterstützung hilft. Teilnehmer können Laufgruppen oder Teams bilden, Spenden einzeln oder im Team sammeln, und bekommen ihre Startgebühr zurück, wenn sie mindestens $150 zusammenbekommen.

Hit the Barlow Trail Run/Walk & Kid's Dash is a community 5K at Sam Barlow High School in Gresham, Oregon, with a kids dash starting before the main run/walk. The Sam Barlow High School Alumni Association organizes the annual event, and participants can join in person or choose a virtual run/walk option. The 5K uses the school campus, mostly following the cross country trail with mixed running surfaces. A track option is available for people who cannot use the trail. Runners and walkers get bibs and see a race clock, but the event does not keep official times or places. Everyone receives a finisher award, and proceeds support SBHSAA student scholarships.

Running Scared is a Halloween-themed 5K and 13K based at Captain William Clark Park in Washougal, Washington, in the Greater Portland area. The shorter race starts at 8:00 AM and the 13K follows at 8:30 AM, giving runners a choice between a quick morning run and a longer fall-distance challenge. Costumes are encouraged, but the event also works for runners who just want to race, jog, or bring kids into the Halloween mood without making the day too serious. The standout option is the Deadly Double, where runners complete both the 5K and the 13K and get separate recognition for that combined effort. All participants receive a long-sleeve race shirt and a custom finisher medal, and the start and finish area includes music and Halloween goodies. Awards go deep: overall male and female winners, Masters, Grand Masters, Senior Masters, and traditional five-year age groups are all covered in both race distances.

The Ann Arbor Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day fun run and walk in Ann Arbor, Michigan, featuring a 5K and a non-timed Tot Trot 1K. The 5K is chip-timed, provides official results and award eligibility, and is suitable for families as well as runners aiming for a specific time. The 1K offers younger children their own short race, ensuring the morning is inclusive for all ages and running abilities. The event embraces the holiday spirit: participants often wear costumes, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies at the finish, and can take photos with Turkey Tom and Santa. Runners, walkers, and crawlers are welcome, reflecting the day's relaxed atmosphere. Each entry includes a finisher medal, and a portion of the entry fee benefits the ChadTough Foundation, with options for additional donations during registration.

Die Jingle Bell 5k Relay ist ein Laufevent im Dezember, das im Riverfront Park in Salem, Oregon, stattfindet und am frühen Abend beginnt. Man läuft 5 Kilometer, indem man eine 1k-Runde innerhalb der Holiday Light Display des Parks absolviert, entweder alleine oder als Staffelteam. Teams können aus einem Läufer oder mehreren Teilnehmern bestehen, sowohl für Einzelstarter, die alle fünf Runden laufen, als auch für Gruppen, die sich die Strecke aufteilen. Staffelteams tauschen einen Leuchtstab an den nächsten Läufer aus, anstatt eines traditionellen Staffelhölzchens, was super zur festlichen Lichter-Atmosphäre passt. Fleet Feet organisiert das Event, und die Startgebühr pro Team beträgt $10.

The Couve Clover Run is a St. Patrick’s-style run and walk in downtown Vancouver, Washington, held annually on the weekend after the Shamrock Run. Participants wear festive green for a choice of 1, 3, 7, or 10 miles. The shorter options are accessible to walkers, families, and runners seeking a shorter effort. The 3-mile walk is untimed, and the Lucky Leap 1-mile walk offers participants the same shirt, medal, food, and beverages as longer-distance runners. Why Racing Events hosts the race, which raises money for local charities. The route is mostly flat with a couple of short hills, described as a fast course. The longer courses pass through recognizable Vancouver locations, including historic Officer’s Row, Fort Vancouver, and the Columbia Riverfront. Medals, T-shirts, free beer, pint glasses from Main Event, and a post-race party with downtown Vancouver pubs and breweries are part of the event. Fleet Feet Sports PDX has hosted packet pickup and provided staff and ambassadors on race day, contributing to the event’s local, community-run feel.

The One Sprint Into Spring 5K begins behind the Estacada Fire Station in Oregon. Runners follow a USATF-certified, chip-timed course eligible for official records.

The Estacada course covers 5 km with 276 feet of elevation change, featuring an early steep climb, rolling hills through town, and a downhill finish on Broadway. Elgin’s race starts at the Hanover Township Izaak Walton Youth Center and includes walkers, sponsor tables, snacks, beverages, shirts, and medals for top finishers.

Brentwood includes a Zumba stretch before its start.
