This Uniontown, Pennsylvania event combines a Fairchance Construction Octoberfest 5k run/walk with Mom Maruca's Beer Mile and a Beer Mile Relay. The start is at 64 Barton Mill Road, with options for 1.6 km, 5 km, and 6.4 km distances. The 5k serves as the standard run-or-walk choice.

Miles for Migraine West Virginia is a free walk-and-run event at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park in Morgantown, featuring a 2 Mile Walk and a professionally timed 5K Run. The walk can accommodate any intentional movement chosen by the participant, making the day suitable for runners, walkers, and individuals seeking a less intense way to participate. The event supports migraine and headache awareness, treatment, and research, with proceeds benefiting the West Virginia University Headache Center. The festival area will feature speakers and sponsors. Finishers of both the walk and run will receive medals, and participants are encouraged to wear purple for a chance to win a prize.

The Pocono Mountains Marathon Race Festival is a fall running event held at Promised Land State Park in Greentown, Pennsylvania. The start and finish lines are located at the Upper Lake Overflow Parking Lot. Participants can select from a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon. The marathon is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier, with PA certification number 21011NP. The course winds through the state park during the fall foliage season, offering a wooded Pocono park running experience rather than city streets. Elite Feats organizes the event, and Mark Hughes is the race director. Awards are presented in male, female, and nonbinary categories, with age-group awards for nonbinary runners in the marathon, half marathon, and 10K. First-time half marathon and marathon finishers receive a commemorative plaque alongside their finisher medal. Registration includes a shirt, medal, and running socks.

Zombie Night Crawl is a 5K run held at night, featuring a survivor-versus-zombie flag game on the path surrounding the baseball fields opposite the CityNet Center. Participants begin as “survivors” equipped with three flags on a belt. The 5K is conducted in heats, which may be combined based on participant numbers. A separate Kids Run, one loop of the path, takes place before the main 5K heats. When the siren sounds, survivors navigate the zombie-infested area—walking, running, or crawling—while zombies attempt to remove their flags. Survivors complete the game by finishing in the top five overall for men or women, or by reaching the finish line with at least one flag remaining. Strategically placed med packs offer replacement flags, but only survivors with all three flags intact can collect them. Any flag obtained from a med pack must be immediately attached to the belt. The rules ensure fair play: flags cannot be tied on, held when a zombie is reaching, picked up from the ground, or taken from other survivors.

The Veterans Trail Festival begins and ends at the Recreation Hall in Raccoon Creek State Park, near Hookstown, Pennsylvania. The event features a 5K run/hike and also offers 20-mile and 50K trail races, accommodating walkers, newer trail runners, and ultra runners on the same day. The 5K follows an out-and-back path with a water station at the midpoint. The 20-mile and 50K routes primarily use single-track trails, presenting rocks, roots, challenging footing, and steep inclines, which often lead to the typical finisher comment: “That was harder than I thought it would be.” The longer races include five aid stations and ham radio tracking. The event benefits veteran and military service members via the Outdoor Immersion Team; 5K participants can also engage in fundraising.

Am Thanksgiving-Morgen ist in Morgantown, West Virginia, der Morgantown Running 5k Turkey Trot. Zuerst startet der 800m Fun Run für die Kids, und der 5k geht dann um 9:00 Uhr los. Der Hauptlauf startet auf der blue track, nah am WVU Coliseum. Läufer und Walker haben die gleiche 5k Distanz vor sich, wobei von den angemeldeten Walkern erwartet wird, dass sie die ganze Strecke zu Fuß zurücklegen. Kinder unter 12 können entweder den 5k mitlaufen oder beim kürzeren Turkey Fun Run dabei sein – das ist ein Zwei-Runden-Event auf der blue track, aufgeteilt in Heats für verschiedene Altersgruppen. Die 5k-Strecke verlässt die track nach fast einer vollen Runde, geht den Mon Boulevard runter, bevor sie in die Boyers Avenue und Leeway Street abbiegt. Danach geht's auf den rail trail für ungefähr die letzten two miles, und das Ziel ist dann hinter dem Seneca Center bei Morgantown Running. Die Top drei Läuferinnen und Läufer sowie die Top Walkerin und der Top Walker bekommen Preise. Die Ergebnisse werden nach Altersklassen gepostet. Die ersten 1.000 angemeldeten Teilnehmer bekommen Socken. Morgantown Running verlost auch zufällig Preise. Mit dem Event wird Girls on the Run of North Central West Virginia unterstützt. Du kannst auch Spenden für Christian Help mitbringen: speziell Herrenkleidung, Gürtel, Schuhe und haltbare Proteine.
