The Carrera Polígono San Cristóbal is a community running event in Valladolid, Spain, centered on Calle Galena 41 within the San Cristóbal industrial estate. It provides 10 km and 5 km routes, both designated as non-competitive, emphasizing participation over rankings. The race begins in the morning and is organized by the Asociación Polígono San Cristóbal. The event's charity purpose is its most distinct feature. One past edition benefited the Asociación Campanilla de Niños Oncológicos, an organization supporting children undergoing cancer treatment and their families. This positions the event as a local run with a tangible fundraising aspect, attracting individuals seeking a manageable distance and a meaningful cause.

Venta de Baños, a town in Palencia, Castilla y León, holds a winter running event focused on cross-country racing and popular runs. The main event, the Cross Internacional de Venta de Baños, is a race in cold, muddy conditions. Senior distances are 10.2 km for men and 5.8 km for women. The Carrera Popular offers 10.2 km and 5.1 km non-competitive options, starting from Avenida Pablo Picasso. The event evolved from a regional “Cross de Navidad” to a national and then international race within its first three years. The course is known for its rugged cross-country terrain, not smooth road running. A notable feature was the ditch jump, “el salto de la acequia,” which was removed due to urban development but later reinstated. Venta de Baños has strong ties to Palencia's distance running heritage, with figures like Mariano Haro, Santiago de la Parte, Ana Isabel Alonso, Isaac Viciosa, and Marta Domínguez connected to its history. Santiago de la Parte won the initial three editions. A unique tradition, and a popular photo opportunity, has been the awarding of a live churro lamb to winners since 1980, often nicknamed Serafín and Querubín. TVE has televised the race nationally for many seasons since 1984. The event is listed on the RFEA cross-country calendar and the World Athletics circuit.

Carrera del Turrón is a running race in Arroyo de la Encomienda, held on a Sunday morning in late December. It is an athletics event for everyday runners, and its name ties it to turrón, the Spanish Christmas nougat. The race is now in its twenty-ninth edition, with the start and finish moved to the Casa de la Música y el Teatro. The route has been adjusted slightly, but it still spends much of its distance inside the Parque Lúdico de la Ribera. Earlier editions have filled all available bibs, so it draws enough local interest that registration can close before race day. The event has also appeared as the Carrera del Turrón y del Polvorón, pairing two Spanish Christmas sweets in the title and giving the race a seasonal identity.

The Quedada Runera de Portillo is a New Year's Eve morning run held in Portillo, a town in Valladolid province.

The initial run was very small, but the event now attracts approximately 400 participants annually. Local runners are joined by individuals from surrounding villages, including many who return to the area for the holidays. They use the morning run as an opportunity to reconnect with friends and experience a slice of local life before New Year's Eve commences.
