The Eola Hills "No Hills" 5K/10K is a road race held in November in Rickreall, Oregon, offering both 5K and 10K distances. The start is located at 501 S Pacific Hwy W, grounding the event in small-town Polk County rather than a large metropolitan area. The name highlights the primary appeal: participants can select a short or long distance without facing a demanding uphill course. While public race listings provide limited course specifics, one participant gave both the course and organization a perfect 5.0 rating, describing it as a race they greatly enjoyed.

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 St. Patrick's Spring Fling Trail Run is a March race held at Alsea Falls in Oregon, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. Starts are staggered in the morning, with the half marathon beginning first, followed by the 10K, and then the 5K. Packet pickup begins after 8:00 a.m., and the 5K is limited to 50 runners. The half marathon provides an early start for walkers and slower runners needing more time to reach the mid-course cutoff. Participants unsure about reaching the checkpoint near mile 7 by 12:30 p.m. should request this early start on race day. Volunteers assisting with parking or registration receive a free race entry, sweep runners get an entry to the Marys Peak Trail Run, and a pint glass is included with each registration.
