The Poulsbo Half Marathon & 10k begins and ends at Liberty Bay Waterfront Park in Poulsbo, Washington. Participants can select either a half marathon or a 10k, with both races following a loop course through the city’s Norwegian-themed downtown, known as “Little Norway.” The course winds through downtown Poulsbo before heading back to the waterfront park. The event is chip-timed, and all participants receive a shirt, a finisher’s medal, and complimentary race photo downloads.

The Bagel Run 5K/10K/13.1 is a small private group run in New York City offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances, along with a 1-mile Family Fun Run. The concept is straightforward: run for the carbs, then enjoy the bagels. Participants can also opt for a virtual 5K, 10K, or half marathon. The in-person races include an eco-registration option that omits a shirt. This event accommodates both running and walking, welcoming all paces and allowing children accompanied by a guardian. Each wave has a participant limit and closes once full, with a waitlist available when capacity is reached. The format is intentionally relaxed, requiring no special equipment or obstacles, focusing solely on the run with coordinators present to assist participants.

The Pumpkin Spice Run is a fall race day in Seward Park, featuring short, family-friendly distances and pumpkin-season jokes. Runners can choose the 9K Double Shot, 5K Single Shot, 1 Mile Pumpkin Dash, Stroller Dash, or Kid's Race. The main events use coffee-size names, and the stroller option includes a quarter-mile dash for parents and small kids. The course is set entirely within Seward Park, framing the race as a leaf-and-pumpkin outing rather than a serious road-racing test. Participants may pick a pumpkin from a mini pumpkin patch and carry it while they run. Registration includes a fresh Pumpkin Spice Latte at the finish. The event also adds a pumpkin festival with games and face painting for families.

The I Can and I Will Run is a 5K and 10K fun run in Seattle, with the race area centered on Green Lake. It is scheduled for October, and both distances start and finish near the Green Lake Community Center and the adjacent baseball fields. The 5K follows part of the inner Green Lake trail and roads around the lake. The 10K includes Lower Woodland Park and roads around Woodland Park Zoo before rejoining the 5K route. Proceeds benefit uncompensated care at Seattle Children's Hospital, which treats children regardless of their families' ability to pay.

The Alaska Airlines Dawg Dash 5K/10K begins and ends on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. This yearly road race includes a 10K, a 5K run/walk, and a Husky Pups Run for children 8 and under. The event is designed for UW alumni, students, staff, families, and casual runners, not exclusively serious racers. The course remains on campus, starting and finishing at UW. Dogs are permitted, aligning with the Husky theme and giving the event a community feel distinct from a typical city race. Proceeds benefit UW students, and members of the UW Alumni Association, UW Retirees Association, UW faculty and staff, and UW students receive registration discounts. The 5K and 10K have previously sold out, indicating sufficient local interest to warrant early registration.

The Haunted Hustle 5K & 10K is a Halloween-themed run held at Bronte Creek Provincial Park, situated on the Burlington-Oakville border in Ontario. Participants can select between the 5K or 10K race. Children have the option of a 1K Fun Run, and those not running can walk the 5K loop. The event is designed for families and competitive runners alike, offering medals to all 5K, 10K, and 1K participants, alongside age-group and gender prizes in the main races. The course winds through the park's natural trails, featuring autumn colours as the backdrop instead of an urban setting. Costumes are encouraged, with specific awards for the fastest 5K and 10K runners in full costume, covering adult and under-18 divisions. This event supports Gore Park Community Outreach, an organization dedicated to combating hunger and food insecurity in Hamilton, Burlington, and surrounding areas, aiming to raise $40,000 in donations and net revenue. Activities available include face painting, a bounce castle, pumpkin decorating, and hot dogs, with dogs also permitted.

The Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot, a Thanksgiving-season trail race at Newberry Hill Heritage Park in Silverdale, Washington, offers 1-mile, 5K, 10K, and Pumpkin/Kids Dash options. It takes place in the woods, away from streets, sidewalks, or roads with traffic, and the organizer refers to it as a “wild Turkey Trot.” The Silverdale Rotary Club organizes the race, with proceeds supporting local nonprofit groups and hunger-fighting causes. Advance registration is required; no race-day registration is available, though last-minute registration is open during race week. The main course features a wide 2.7-mile fire-road loop of compact dirt and rock, with approximately 200 feet of elevation change per lap for the 5K and 10K. The 10K includes a brief detour onto a narrower side trail to complete the distance. Strollers are permitted, and leashed dogs are welcome, contributing to a local family atmosphere distinct from a competitive road race. Medals are awarded to top male and female finishers in the 1-mile, 5K, and 10K. Age-group winners receive ribbons, and all Kids Dash participants get a commemorative ribbon. The event uses chip timing, and family registration discounts are offered.

The Magnuson Series Seattle Turkey Trot, a Thanksgiving run/walk in Seattle, offers 5K, 10K, and 15K races. All three start simultaneously, preceded by a 400-meter kids dash. As the series' largest event, it requires more attention to bib pickup, arrival time, and carpooling than smaller park races. The event is chip timed, awarding prizes to top finishers in each distance. Free race photos will be available on each runner’s results page. The race supports Food Lifeline, the featured charity. Participants can bring food items to the registration shelter for the University Food Bank. Awards are presented by distance: 5K first, then 10K, and finally 15K. All parking lots are utilized, and some drivers may experience delays exiting due to runners crossing nearby roads, with traffic released in intervals by crossing guards. Volunteers can receive complimentary race vouchers for themselves or others, or fulfill community service hours.

Santa Runs Tacoma is a December race day in Tacoma, Washington, offering a 5K, 10K, and half marathon. It begins in downtown Tacoma. The shorter distances are suitable for families, walkers, and runners seeking a holiday-themed event without the commitment of a full 13.1 miles. The half marathon follows an out-and-back course with some rolling hills. It starts downtown, proceeds along the waterfront on the Ruston Way Path, heading toward Point Ruston Waterwalk and Dune Peninsula Park. Before turning back, participants ascend the Wilson Way Bridge for an elevated view of the surroundings, then return downtown along the water. The 10K uses a portion of this waterfront out-and-back route, and the 5K covers 3.1 miles, open to both runners and walkers. All finishers receive a Santa Runs Tacoma medal.
