The Wine Run at Sakonnet Vineyard is a 3-mile trail race held at Sakonnet Vineyard in Little Compton, Rhode Island. All race activities, from check-in to post-race events, take place on the vineyard grounds. The race begins in the afternoon, with bib pickup available earlier in the day. Participants should plan to arrive at least one hour before the start to allow ample time for check-in. The course follows vineyard trails with uneven footing, including rocks, ruts, and typical trail conditions. This makes it a run that requires attention to your footing rather than a fast road race. Runners conclude the race among the vines and then remain for dinner, wine, and music at the vineyard. Each participant is given a souvenir wine glass. This event is part of the Rhode Races Wine Run series.

The EPFD Freaky 5k is a 3.1-mile road race in Rumford, Rhode Island. It starts and finishes at EPFD Station 3, located at 30 N Broadway.

DJ entertainment and post-race refreshments are provided for participants and spectators. Proceeds benefit the EPFD Local 850 charity fund, supporting the East Providence community.

Powisset Farm Trail Run - Fall is a farm-based trail race in Dover, Massachusetts, part of the Barn to Run Trail Race Series. This fall event offers a 10k option, and the series provides runners with a choice of distances at its farm races. The route guides runners past farm fields and along forest trails, closely connecting the race to the land around Powisset Farm, unlike a road-course setup. Barn to Run also uses its events to connect participants with local farms and farm programs, with spectators enjoying farm attractions during the race. Sun Multisport Events, an endurance event company based in Massachusetts, produces the series.

Der Providence Monster Dash 5K ist ein Halloween-Lauf/Walk über 3.1 miles in Downtown Providence, Rhode Island. Start und Ziel sind auf der Water Street. Dieser jährliche Herbstlauf ist nicht nur für Läufer gedacht: Walker können auch beim 5K mitmachen, und Kinder bis 12 haben ihren eigenen kurzen Lauf. Eltern dürfen natürlich mit ihren Kids mitlaufen. Der Kinderlauf ist ungefähr eine quarter mile lang, wobei die Mädchen zuerst starten, danach die Jungs. Kinderwagen sind erlaubt, müssen aber aus Sicherheitsgründen ganz hinten starten; Haustiere sind beim 5K nicht zugelassen. Das Rennen hat auch was mit Halloween zu tun: Es gibt Kostümwettbewerbe. Das beste Einzelkostüm bekommt $100, und das beste Teamkostüm gewinnt $200. Dafür braucht man mindestens drei Leute im Team. Der Monster Dash ist außerdem Teil des Run Rhody Grand Slam, einer vier-Rennen 5K-Serie von September bis Dezember. Man kann sich für die Grand Slam-Rennen zusammen anmelden, um die Startgebühren zu reduzieren. Wer alle vier schafft, bekommt eine Grand Slam Finisher-Medaille und ein Geschenk. Virtuelle Teilnahme ist auch möglich und zählt für die Serie. Shirts gibt's beim Packet Pickup oder werden später zugeschickt.

Der Scaredy Cat K95K ist ein 5K Walk/Run für Menschen und Hunde, passend zur Halloween-Saison, der an der Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in North Grafton, Massachusetts stattfindet. Der Lauf vor Ort startet am Campus Center auf der Westboro Road; alle Paces sind willkommen, ob Walker, Läufer, Familien, Teams oder Einzelpersonen mit einem Hund. Kostüme sind gern gesehen. Hunde, die auf dem Campus dabei sind, müssen einen aktuellen Tollwutimpfungsnachweis vorlegen, und nur Hunde dürfen im dafür vorgesehenen Tierbereich vor Ort teilnehmen. Mit der Veranstaltung werden die tierärztliche Versorgung und der Tierschutz unterstützt. Die Einnahmen gehen an MVMA Charities, die die Notversorgung für ausgesetzte und streunende Tiere in Massachusetts finanzieren, und an den Travis Fund der Tufts University, der bei der Versorgung von gefundenen Tieren und Haustieren hilft, deren Besitzer sich die Tierarztrechnungen nicht leisten können. Nach dem 5K gibt es eine Gesundheits- und Fitnessmesse mit Musik, lokalen Anbietern und Hunde-Demos, und es gibt einen Preis für den am besten verkleideten Hund. Eine virtuelle 5K-Option ist den ganzen Oktober über verfügbar, so dass man auch mit Haustieren teilnehmen kann, die nicht zum Campus-Event zugelassen sind.

Sweater Weather 5K is a fall trail run at the Canmore Nordic Centre, with both 5K and 10K options. The race leans into the season: runners are encouraged to wear fall sweaters, and the date is set earlier than before to improve the odds of a snow-free course. It is still a young event, with its second edition on the calendar, but the previous race sold out quickly. The route runs on double-track dirt trails through pine forest, with enough elevation to make it more than a casual jog. The field is broad by design, from runners chasing a personal best to people happy to stroll the trails with friends. The mood is part race, part community hangout, with high-fives, group selfies, and occasional leaf fights fitting the theme. JK Bakery Cafe serves pie at the finish line, so the post-race snack is not an afterthought here.
