The Sugar Land Half Marathon, 10K, & Mile begins and ends at Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, southwest of Houston. The event offers a half marathon, 10K, mile, Kids Half Marathon, and virtual participation. This suits runners seeking a longer road race, families, and those preferring shorter distances. The half marathon course is largely flat and fast, featuring accessible parking, a convenient start/finish area, and aid stations with water and Gatorade along the route. The half marathon follows a true loop course without out-and-back segments, and the 10K has been similarly redesigned. The half marathon route predominantly uses right turns, contributing to a fluid experience compared to courses with frequent reversals or crossings. The finish has been altered so participants enter from behind the venue rather than around the parking lot, with parking remaining accessible after the race begins. The participants include age-group runners, invitational and guardian divisions, wheelchair and para categories, handcycle entrants in the half marathon, pacers, children, and virtual participants. All finishers get a custom medal. The post-race area provides food, live music, awards, and a family-friendly gathering. The race is also a component of the Lone Star Race Series, offering incentives for participants completing multiple events.

The Shipley Donut Dash is a fall race at Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, offering 5K, 10K, and Kids Dash distances.

It suits runners aiming for a specific time, families with children participating in the shorter dash, and walkers primarily interested in the treats. A portion of the proceeds benefits Kids' Meals, a Houston-area charity that combats childhood hunger.

Miles 4 Matthew begins and ends at No Label Brewing Co., offering in-person 5K, 10K, and 1K run/walk options alongside virtual 5K and 10K choices.

Matthew’s family and friends established the race to honor Matthew, who passed away from leukemia at age 9. He was first diagnosed with ALL at age 4 and later experienced a rare relapse. The event generates funds for families managing pediatric cancer, continuing to focus on Matthew’s narrative: a child remembered for his courage, humor, and zest for life during treatment.

The UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K begins and ends near Sam Houston Park on Bagby Street in downtown Houston, offering half-marathon and 10K distances on a mostly flat course.

Race-day amenities include a runners' village at the start and finish, bag drop, bike valet, complimentary photo downloads, age-group awards for the top three finishers in each category, finisher medals, and a post-race reception featuring breakfast tacos, Karbach beer, and IHOP pancakes.

The PB&J Fuel Run in Houston offers participants three distance options: 5K, 10K, or a half marathon.

Monster Dash is a Halloween-themed 5K and kids' race in Manito Park on Spokane's South Hill. The 5K starts in the morning and uses chip timing, while the Kids' Fun Run follows with 1-mile, half-mile, and quarter-mile options. Costumes are encouraged, making the field part road race and part Halloween parade. The setup is built for families: adults can walk or run the whole Fun Run course beside their children, and kids receive candy goodie bags upon finishing. Many parents run the 5K first, then meet their kids for the shorter race. Bib and shirt pickup is at the Lower Manito Park Picnic Shelter, and all race proceeds go to Active4Youth, a local nonprofit that introduces children to sports and healthy activities.
