The Community Energy Run is a 5K for those seeking a straightforward run or walk directly supporting local utility assistance. Registration fees fund the Community Energy Fund, aiding families in Snohomish County and on Camano Island facing difficulties with utility bills. A virtual participation option is available, allowing individuals to join remotely without attending the event venue. The event welcomes runners, walkers, and community members who wish to offer their support. Participants can engage with sponsors to learn about their backing of local initiatives and view live demonstrations from the Snohomish PUD Water Utility. The core objective is evident: involvement assists in keeping local families warm, secure, and provided for during periods of challenging energy expenses.

The Woodinville Turkey Trot 5K is a Thanksgiving morning run and walk in Woodinville, featuring a flat 3.1-mile course with chip timing. It offers competitive runners an opportunity to push their pace, while remaining accessible for those who simply wish to be active before their holiday meal. The event welcomes a diverse group of participants: competitive athletes, recreational runners, walkers, and families. A key tradition is its timing: it takes place on Thanksgiving Day with friends and family, offering a short race before the turkey dinner.

The 12Ks of Christmas is a 12K and relay race with a Christmas theme, held at the Pilot YMCA, beginning at 8 a.m. Participants can run individually, as a two-person relay, or as a three-person relay.

Solo runners cover three loops for the 12K distance. Two-person relay teams divide the race into 4K and 8K legs, while three-person teams each complete one loop. Individual awards are presented to age groups ranging from 10 and under to 70-plus. Relay awards recognize the top three teams in both the two- and three-person categories.
