The Raptor 5K utilizes Lake Lure Classical Academy’s cross-country course, making it a school-based trail race rather than a road 5K with some dirt sections. It takes place in October in Lake Lure, North Carolina. The 5K trail run begins at the academy, and a shorter fun run shares the same finish area. This race is part of the ROC Race Series and provides outdoor recreation and adventure equipment for LLCA students in 4th grade and older. The 5K course winds through sections of the LLCA campus, Dittmer-Watts Nature Trails, and the Lake Lure Greenspace. Its technical footing is substantial enough that pets and strollers are prohibited. Age groups range from young children to over 70, with a reduced entry rate for runners aged 18 and under. The field is designed for families, students, and local trail runners. The event was initially planned for an earlier date but had a previous edition canceled due to Hurricane Helene, leading to its first running being part race day and part a community restart for the school.

The Trick or Trail 5k & 1 Mile is a Halloween-themed run and walk in Hendersonville, offering both a 5K and a one-mile option.

Costumes are encouraged, making the field a mix of road racers and a Halloween parade. The route guides participants through the Historic 7th Avenue District before finishing near the Fall Festival. Each participant receives a race shirt and a finisher medal. The event is suited for families, casual walkers, first-timers, and those seeking a low-pressure race with a costume-friendly atmosphere.

The Wicked Spooky 5k is a Halloween-themed brewery run in downtown Asheville, starting and finishing behind Wicked Weed’s Funkatorium on Federal Alley in the South Slope area. It is part of the Chasing Pints Running Series, a Western North Carolina collection of six brewery races with varying distances and a post-race beer included for runners 21 and older. The 5k emphasizes costumes alongside pace, with awards for the most creative, terrifying, or quirky outfits. Finisher medals and Wicked Weed beer are available back at the Funkatorium. The kids’ Creepy Crawly Climb is approximately a quarter mile, starting and finishing on Coxe Avenue, running up to Coxe and Hillard before returning, with medals for finishers and custom awards for the top spooky costumes.

The South Asheville Turkey Trot, presented by Hunter Subaru, begins Thanksgiving morning in Biltmore Park Town Square. This annual 5K in Asheville, North Carolina, is a holiday run held before the day's main events. The course winds through the Biltmore Park neighborhood, using the town square as the starting and finishing point. Both local residents and visitors participate. The event also features a free fun run alongside the main race, contributing to a community morning atmosphere rather than a competitive 5K.

The Sock It To Me Santa 5k is a holiday-themed 5k road race in Asheville, North Carolina. Entry fees support the Asheville High and Middle School band programs.

Runners 17 and under receive a discount, as do runners 65 and over. Groups of four or more can register at a reduced rate. Participants receive a custom knit hat or a race tee, fitting the Santa-run theme.

Die Asheville Hot Chocolate Races starten und enden an der Isaac Dickson Elementary School in Asheville, North Carolina. Alle Läufe gehen morgens los. Das Event bietet für Erwachsene und ältere Kinder einen 5K, 10K oder Halbmarathon. Jüngere Kinder können beim Kids 1K Hill Climb oder dem 100-yard Marshmallow Dash mitmachen. Der Erlös dieses Events geht an die Isaac Dickson Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization, und es ist seit 2008 ein fester Termin im Winterlaufkalender von Western North Carolina. Die Strecke beginnt erstmal bergab, folgt dann über weite Teile dem French Broad River greenway durch Asheville’s River Arts District und führt die Läufer bergauf ins Ziel. Die Serie startete ursprünglich mit einem 10K und einem Kids Hill Climb und hat sich später zu einem umfassenderen Familienevent mit kürzeren Kinderläufen und längeren Distanzen für Erwachsene entwickelt. Wer den 5K, 10K und Halbmarathon finisht, bekommt Shirts, personalisierte Startnummern und Medaillen; Kinder erhalten Shirts, Startnummern und Schleifen. Alle Teilnehmer bekommen heiße Schokolade von French Broad Chocolates, und die schnellsten Erwachsenen kriegen handgemachte Erinnerungstassen.
