Spooky Sprint St. Louis is a Halloween-themed running event in the St. Louis area offering distances for nearly all types of participants: a kids dash, untimed 1 mile, 5k, 10k, half marathon, virtual race, and a Volunteer then Run option. It is designed for families as much as runners aiming for a specific time, with youth pricing for the 5k and 10k and a free kids dash option for children not wanting the shirt and medal package. The in-person races begin together in the morning, with packet pickup beforehand and live results available post-race. The timed events use chip timing and include awards, while the 1 mile and kids dash remain low-pressure. Registrations typically include a custom bib, designer shirt, and finisher medal, with a mini bib and youth-sized shirt for the kids dash. Finish-line treats, free race photos, and the virtual option contribute to a casual holiday run atmosphere rather than a competitive race-day production.

Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in each race.

The Kids Dash provides children with their own race number and a Trottinator finisher medal. Awards for the main races are presented to the top three finishers in age groups ranging from 1-13 to 70+. The event is designed as a family Thanksgiving run, incorporating numerous giveaways and child-oriented elements to enhance the holiday feel, rather than being solely a timed competition.

Trail Trot on Turkey Ridge is a timed trail race held after Thanksgiving in Wildwood, Missouri, presented by the Saint Louis Track Club. Rather than a set distance, participants select either a 2-hour or 4-hour race, aiming to cover as much distance as possible within their chosen time limit.

The race route follows a 1.8-mile loop on the Turkey Ridge trail, completed counterclockwise from the starting point and returning to it each lap. Each loop includes 347 feet of elevation gain, making the race demanding despite its short length when run repeatedly. Awards are presented to the leading male and female runners in both the 2-hour and 4-hour race divisions.
