The Carrboro 5K/10K offers runners a choice between a 6.2-mile 10K and a 3.1-mile 5K. Both races begin at 8 a.m. from McDougle Middle School in Carrboro, North Carolina. The 5K, a more recent addition, has a participant limit of 300 runners. The entry fee for either distance is $35. Both races traverse Carrboro neighborhoods before concluding on the McDougle track. This event is part of Le Tour de Carrboro, a three-race series benefiting Carrboro Area Charities. Participants in the series must select either the 5K or the 10K for this particular race, not both.

Rootrock lives up to its name: the trail run sends 5K, 10K, and half marathon runners onto single-track paths covered in roots and rocks at Briar Chapel, south of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It takes place on a mid-fall morning and utilizes the trail network within a 900-acre green community, featuring forested paths designed for hiking and mountain biking. Great Meadow Park is the start and finish area. Its lawn, stage, and pavilion provide a central gathering point for the race. This run is the first event of the Rootrock Trail Races and is paired with the Rootrock Mountain Bike Race; athletes registering for both receive a discount and a special award. Following the run, the event offers food, music, a kids' treasure race, and an awards ceremony with giveaways.

Birds of a Feather Trail Trot is a Thanksgiving Day trail run at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Runners can choose a 2-mile route with paved path, grass, and smooth trail, or go longer on rugged 5K and 10K options with roots, rocks, and rolling hills. The 2-mile distance also has an untimed fun run option, suitable for those who want a relaxed holiday outing as well as those who want to race. The event embraces a turkey-trot feel while not being solely a road race. Families and groups can run together, kids 11 and under participate for free, and everyone can stay afterward for pie. The post-race awards ceremony includes contests and giveaways, contributing to the morning's neighborhood holiday gathering atmosphere rather than a simple start-to-finish run.
