NYC Trail Mix is a Staten Island trail race held in November, starting from the Greenbelt Nature Center area. The longest distance begins at 501 Brielle Ave before sunrise. It provides ultra distances within New York City, including 50 miles and 50K, along with a 13.1K or half-marathon-style option for those who prefer trails without an all-day commitment. The runner limit is 450, and with no prize money, the event feels more like a dedicated trail community gathering than a professional competition. The course covers over 35 miles of Staten Island trails, with approximately 80 percent on unpaved surfaces. The 50-mile race starts at 5:30 AM, the 50K at 6:30 AM, and the shorter race at 8 AM, giving the ultra runners a dark, early start into the Greenbelt. Redpoint presents the event, with proceeds supporting the Greenbelt Conservancy, directly benefiting the parkland. The series is new, but its appeal is straightforward: a genuine ultra trail run within NYC, in a borough often traversed by highway.

The Run the Vineyards - Cork High & Bottle Deep is a 13.1-mile half marathon held at Blue Cork Winery. It starts at 8:30 AM and has a field limit of approximately 450 runners. This is the seventh year for the event, which maintains a local feel with race announcements starting just before the gun, police-controlled roads, and aid stations positioned roughly every two miles. The course is predominantly paved and flat, includes a 10K split, and has a 3.5-hour time limit, requiring participants to finish by noon. The route begins and ends at the vineyard, with a short section on winery grounds before proceeding onto adjacent roads. This event is suited for those seeking a genuine half marathon experience away from a large-city environment. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the leading runners in 10-year age categories. Strollers are permitted. The post-race activities embrace the winery setting, offering a complimentary glass of wine to all finishers, commemorative wine glasses, finisher medals, downloadable photos, food trucks, massage services, and live music. The Headstrong Foundation is the designated charity partner.

The Big Turkey Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K is a Thanksgiving Day race series held at Oak Ridge Park in Union County, New Jersey. Participants can select the half marathon, 10K, or 5K. Virtual-only options for all three distances are available for those preferring to run independently. The event proceeds regardless of weather, aligning with the holiday spirit: complete the run in the morning before continuing with Thanksgiving. The course features mostly flat paved paths within Oak Ridge Park, bordered by manicured lawns and rows of birch, oak, and pine trees. The 5K includes distinct youth categories for ages 7-9 and 10-13, allowing families to participate without placing younger runners solely in adult divisions. All finishers receive a medal and a technical shirt. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in each distance, along with gender-based age groups beginning with 19 and under. Now in its third year, the race embraces the straightforward appeal of a holiday run: a flat park course, multiple distance options, and a community eager to participate before the main meal.

The Garden State 10 Miler & Cookie Chase 5k is a Sunday running event at Colonial Park in Franklin Township, New Jersey, featuring a 5k, a 10-mile race, a two-person 10-mile relay, and a youth mile. The Cookie Chase 5k begins first, followed by the 10 Miler, with the kids’ run scheduled later. Runners may select the 5k, the 10 Miler, or run both as a Half Marathon Challenge to receive an additional “Challenge Accepted” medal. The 10 Miler is presented by the organizers as the fastest ten miler in the tri-state area, offering prize money for the top three men and women, age-group medals, and finisher medals for all participants. The race is centered at Colonial Park, a 685-acre Somerset County park bordering the Delaware and Raritan Canal and the Millstone River. The relay simplifies logistics: one runner completes approximately 3.6 miles, exchanges with their teammate near Mettlers Lane and Colonial Drive, and the second runner covers the remaining 6.4 miles. The 5k embraces its Cookie Chase theme, providing every finisher with a cookie and awarding prize money for the best costumes alongside age-group medals. Packet pickup is available before race day and continues Sunday morning. Parking is arranged near the 10-mile finish, with Mettlers Lane closed to traffic as the longer race concludes.
