Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Run sends runners onto the Coastal Trail with a pumpkin waiting for them at the end. It is a race weekend event in Half Moon Bay, California, tied to the Annual Art & Pumpkin Festival, with a Kid's Fun Run, 5K, 10K, and half marathon based around Hatch Elementary School and the Pacific-side trail. Senior Coastsiders hosts it, and the proceeds support programs for local older adults. The route follows coastal paths overlooking the ocean, with rolling but generally fast, flat terrain that works for beginners, fun runners, and people chasing a personal best. The half marathon starts early and has a 3.5-hour cutoff, while the 5K and longer races include chip timing and finisher medals unless runners opt out. The festival side adds the Great Pumpkin Parade, live music, pie-eating contests, costume contests, giant pumpkin displays, and free admission on historic Main Street in the self-styled World Pumpkin Capital.

Summit Rock is an early-winter trail race in Sanborn County Park, just outside Saratoga in Northern California’s Santa Cruz Mountains. The series offers a half marathon, 10K, and 5K on forested terrain, with pines, redwoods, oak trees, and miles of single-track trail inside a park of more than 3,600 acres. It is a timed race with electronic chip timing, but walkers and hikers are welcome too, so the field is not limited to runners chasing a fast finish. The half marathon and 10K climb toward peaks, while every distance uses narrow trail under the tree canopy. The terrain is challenging, with enough climbing and descending that new trail runners are encouraged to walk the hills and save energy for flatter or downhill sections. More experienced runners get a tougher mountain-route outing close to Silicon Valley, San Jose, and San Francisco, and all finishers receive custom medals. The race takes its name from Summit Rock, the park peak tied to the event.

The Kiwanis Resolution races are 5K and 10K run/walk events held at Mountain View Shoreline Park in Mountain View, California. They take place near the start of the new year, scheduled for a Saturday to accommodate holiday travelers. Both the 5K and 10K utilize digital chip timing, and a 1K run/walk for children ages 1 to 10 is also part of the event. The races are based within Shoreline Park at 2955 N Shoreline Blvd. The courses are on paved roads, with free parking available. Dogs and pets are not permitted in the park. The 10K begins first in the morning, with the 5K starting shortly after. Following the races, participants receive snacks and awards. Early registrants are given a specially designed race shirt, and every child participating in the 1K receives a race T-shirt.

Coyote Hills is a trail race at Coyote Hills Park in Fremont, California, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. While the park has "hills" in its name, the courses limit climbing, focusing on steady running and varied terrain rather than significant elevation gain. Walkers are welcome, contributing to a broader participant base than a runner-exclusive event. The routes follow the eastern San Francisco Bay shoreline, crossing dirt paths, paved sections, and wooden boardwalks through marshland. Runners will encounter rolling terrain and open bay vistas, with the low Coyote Hills serving as a landmark on the western edge of southern Alameda County. The park holds significant human history; Native peoples have inhabited this region for at least 12,900 to 13,500 years. The Tuibun Ohlone village site, over 2,000 years old, is accessible via naturalist-led programs. Participants also receive complimentary race photos, and sponsors help reduce entry fees.

Bay Breeze begins and ends at San Leandro Marina Park, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K races on Valentine’s Weekend. This Brazen Racing event, situated on the east side of San Francisco Bay, features a mostly flat bayside trail adjacent to the water. The course suits runners aiming for a fast time, and it welcomes walkers at all distances, including a dedicated Hiker Division. The course traces the shoreline near the marina, providing open views of the bay toward San Francisco and long sections with the water close by. Organizers describe it as a "breeze" relative to Brazen’s steeper Bay Area races, aligning the name with its character. The event has been held for over ten years, attracting more than a thousand finishers across its distances, and has returned to San Leandro Marina Park after previous editions were held in Fremont.

Western Pacific is a Brazen Racing event in Fremont, California, offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances. All three races begin and end at Quarry Lakes. The event welcomes runners, walkers, and hikers, not exclusively those aiming for a fast time. The course is largely flat and fast, with enough dirt and gravel to offer a trail-like feel rather than a road race. The route follows the Western Pacific Trail, a path with historical significance. In the 1800s, it transported gravel for the western portion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The 10K and half marathon extend along the Alameda Creek Trail. The majority of the running occurs on dirt fire trails, interspersed with gravel sections and a brief paved segment. Volunteers staff the race, participants receive complimentary photos, and sponsors contribute to keeping entry fees affordable.
