The Eola Hills "No Hills" 5K/10K is a road race held in November in Rickreall, Oregon, offering both 5K and 10K distances. The start is located at 501 S Pacific Hwy W, grounding the event in small-town Polk County rather than a large metropolitan area. The name highlights the primary appeal: participants can select a short or long distance without facing a demanding uphill course. While public race listings provide limited course specifics, one participant gave both the course and organization a perfect 5.0 rating, describing it as a race they greatly enjoyed.

The Ann Arbor Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day fun run and walk in Ann Arbor, Michigan, featuring a 5K and a non-timed Tot Trot 1K. The 5K is chip-timed, provides official results and award eligibility, and is suitable for families as well as runners aiming for a specific time. The 1K offers younger children their own short race, ensuring the morning is inclusive for all ages and running abilities. The event embraces the holiday spirit: participants often wear costumes, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies at the finish, and can take photos with Turkey Tom and Santa. Runners, walkers, and crawlers are welcome, reflecting the day's relaxed atmosphere. Each entry includes a finisher medal, and a portion of the entry fee benefits the ChadTough Foundation, with options for additional donations during registration.

The Jingle Bell 5k Relay is a December running event held in Riverfront Park in Salem, Oregon, starting in the early evening. Participants run 5 kilometers by completing a 1k loop within the park’s Holiday Light Display, individually or as a team relay. Teams can consist of one runner or multiple participants, accommodating both solo runners completing all five loops and groups dividing the distance. Relay teams exchange a glow stick to the next runner, rather than a traditional baton, complementing the holiday-light atmosphere. Fleet Feet organizes the event, with team entry fees set at $10.
