The Spruce Railroad Run/Walk begins at the Spruce Railroad Trailhead on East Beach Road, near Lake Crescent outside Port Angeles, Washington, within Olympic National Park. This modest Saturday-morning event in early October offers 5K and 10K distances, welcoming both runners and walkers. A virtual option is also available for those preferring to participate remotely, without crossing the Lake Crescent course. Both in-person distances follow an out-and-back route on the Olympic Discovery Trail, leading participants away from and then back to the starting trailhead. The course traces the edge of Lake Crescent and is categorized as a road race, though its environment resembles a park trail more than an urban street. The participant count is expected between 100 and 500, with a uniform registration fee for both distances and race-day sign-ups permitted for the 5K and 10K.

The Clallam County Turkey Trot begins at Hollywood Beach in Port Angeles on Thanksgiving morning, offering 5K and 10K distances. This is a casual run-or-walk event, open to all ages and paces. The start is at 9:00 AM, with bib pickup at the start line in the hour before the race. Both distances follow out-and-back routes on the Olympic Discovery Trail. Participants will head out from the beach area and return along the same path. The event benefits food banks throughout Clallam County, including those in Sequim, Port Angeles, and Forks. Families are welcome, with strollers permitted and festive outfits encouraged, contributing to a community holiday atmosphere rather than a strictly competitive race.

The Jamestown Glow Run/Walk is a dusk 5K and 10K starting at the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe in Sequim, Washington. Participants begin around 4:30 pm as daylight fades; every in-person runner and walker requires a headlamp or flashlight. Both distances follow out-and-back routes on the Olympic Discovery Trail. The event features a glow-run setup with lights displayed along the course. Headlamps are available as a giveaway prize. A virtual option allows participants to complete the race remotely.

The Bulldog 5K Sleigh Ride Fun Run/Walk is a holiday 5K in Mount Vernon, Washington, with runners and walkers circling the Del Trail at Skagit Playfields. The event starts in the morning and offers a public fun run/walk, plus a separate 5K Sleigh Ride category for current Mount Vernon High School cross country runners. The Del Trail is named for Jess del Bosque, a longtime MVHS distance coach. Participants receive a T-shirt and Santa hat, with MVHS cross country runners leading the starting crowd as “reindeer” in front of the “Santas.” Top finishers in each age group receive ornament medals. Water and hot drinks are served afterward, and proceeds support the Non-School District Mount Vernon Athletic Fund for runners attending cross country summer camp.

A family-friendly event for athletes of all levels. The course is gently rolling with excellent support. All participants receive medals. Profits benefit chosen charity partners.
