The Oakland County Cross Country Championships is an annual high school cross country race series in Milford, Michigan, held at 4570 Huron River Parkway. The meet begins in the morning, gathering Oakland County teams for boys and girls races across varsity and junior varsity divisions.

5K On The RUNway takes runners and walkers onto the runway at Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan, for a flat, fast 5K on a Saturday morning in early October. The main event includes separate run and walk starts, and children have their own Little Pilots Run before the 5K field begins. The airport setting influences the day's logistics: participants park at Genesee Career Institute, clear security with a bib or spectator pass, and take an MTA shuttle to the airport grounds. Spectators require free advance passes, late registration is not available, bags must be clear, and water is provided only at the finish. Following the race, shuttles return participants to cider, donuts, and post-race food at Genesee Career Institute. The event is hosted by the Crim Fitness Foundation, connecting local running with a charity-backed fitness organization.

The St. Patrick Pierogi Run is a 5k run/walk based at St. Patrick Parish in White Lake, Michigan. The main event starts and finishes at the parish on Hutchins Road. A 1-mile Pierogi Family Fun Run/Walk is available for those seeking a shorter, easier option. The race emphasizes the post-run meal alongside the running. Participants receive pierogi and smoked kielbasa after the race, with lunch served in Patty Hall. Spectators may purchase additional meal tickets for family and friends. Early registration for the 5k and 1-mile events includes the meal and a T-shirt. A meal-only option is also offered for those who wish to attend the parish lunch without participating in the run.

Scare Away Hunger is a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile fun run/walk held on October 5th at Rochester Municipal Park in Rochester, Michigan. Neighborhood House organizes this event to raise funds to combat local food insecurity, with MSU Federal Credit Union serving as the presenting sponsor. The event is designed to be family-friendly, offering the 5K for runners and walkers, and a 1-mile course suitable for children, families, and casual participants. The course is contained within Rochester Municipal Park. The 5K is open to participants of all skill levels, not exclusively fast racers. Halloween is incorporated into the day, with costumes encouraged. Following the run/walk, participants can enjoy music and a Pancake Breakfast. The funds generated will benefit Neighborhood House, a Rochester Hills nonprofit that assists over 3,000 households annually with food, clothing, financial aid, and other support.

The Clio Can Do Color Run is a 5K run/walk held at Clio Country Club in Clio, Michigan, beginning at 10:00 AM.

The course utilizes the Clio Country Club fairways, allowing participants to run or walk on the grass or cart paths. The route includes rolling hills and tree-lined sections, differing from a flat road 5K. This race marks the third and final event in the Clio Can Do Series of Races. Proceeds benefit the Clio Cross Country Team, the Youth Sports Complex, the Compassionate Life Foundation, and the Freedom 4 Veterans project. A health fair with sponsor donations is available at the finish area, and early registrants will receive a medal and race T-shirt.
