These routes offer a measured course for competitive runners and a straightforward local path for casual participants.

Age-group medals are awarded to the top three finishers in the 5K and 10K, with medals given to all participants who finish a race.

Boundary Bay is a late-fall race series held at Boundary Bay Park, Centennial Beach in Delta, British Columbia, offering 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and 4-person marathon relay distances. The marathon is presented as a final opportunity for runners aiming for a Boston qualifying time, featuring a straightforward course: a completely flat gravel oceanside trail with no elevation gain. All distances follow an out-and-back route along British Columbia's southern coast, allowing participants to run beside Boundary Bay instead of through city streets. The course offers views across the Salish Sea towards the San Juan Islands, with migratory birds present and ocean weather as the primary variable. The race supports Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon. Organizers acknowledge the late-season timing by advising runners to dress warmly, bring dry clothes, and appreciate the clock-change weekend that may provide an extra hour of sleep.

The Concord California Turkey Trot 5K begins at Newhall Park at 8 AM on Thanksgiving morning. This 5K run/walk in Concord, California, offers a family registration option, a charity entry, and a separate Kids Run presented by Liberty Gymnastics. The event supports Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa, directly linking the holiday race to a local food-service nonprofit. The 5K course incorporates grass fields, park pathways, and city streets, creating a mixed-surface park run rather than a flat road-only race. Strollers and pets are permitted, though participants with them should begin at the rear to allow timed runners a clear start. All 5K participants receive a tech shirt and a medal. Children aged two and under may ride in a stroller without paid registration. The Kids Run is situated near the 5K start and finish at Newhall Community Park, featuring check-in and a group warm-up prior to a brief morning run for children.

Der Jingle All the Way 5K und 10K ist ein Straßenlauf zur Weihnachtszeit in Mountain House, California, und ist immer Anfang Dezember. Man kann sich für einen 5K oder einen 10K entscheiden. Da ist für jeden was dabei: für die, die nur einen kurzen Fun Run machen wollen, genauso wie für die, die lieber einen längeren lokalen Lauf laufen möchten. Start und Ziel sind auf dem Central Parkway.

Hope Starts Here 5K starts and finishes at Operation New Hope’s historic Springfield headquarters in Jacksonville, with the 5K going off at 8am and a 1 Mile Fun Run following at 9am. It is a community run and walk for all ages and abilities, so the field can include runners chasing a time, families walking together, and supporters there for the cause. The route moves through Springfield, one of Jacksonville’s best-known historic neighborhoods, and uses parts of the Emerald Trail. Entry fees and fundraising support Operation New Hope, a Jacksonville nonprofit that has worked since 1999 with people affected by incarceration. Its programs include workforce training, job placement, mental health support, and community violence intervention, and the organization says it has helped more than 20,000 justice-impacted Floridians. After the race, participants can head next door to Strings Sports Brewery, where runners and walkers ages 21 and up get a complimentary 10-ounce beer.
