Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Oktoberfest 10K/5K, Kids Superhero Run
The Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Oktoberfest 10K/5K and Kids Superhero Run is a fall race day held at Consumer's Plaza in downtown Jackson, Michigan. The start and finish are located in front of the old post office, which is now Consumers Energy headquarters. The event offers adults a 10K run, 5K run, or 5K walk, and children 10 and under can participate in the Kids Superhero Run.
The course is designed using the best sections from previous races and is professionally timed by the Michigan Running Foundation. The children's run embraces the superhero theme, encouraging costumes and providing a goodie bag, a finisher medal keychain, and a free scoop of ice cream from RJ's Burgers & Ice Cream. Participants in the 5K and 10K races receive a shirt, a finisher medal, and a $10 certificate for downtown Jackson businesses. This race is part of the ORS Race Series, sponsored by Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists, and benefits the Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanity Garrett Family Fundraiser.
Spooky Sprint - Toledo
MACQUEEN'S RUN FOR YOUR LIFE presented by Phelan Orthodontics
MacQueen's Run For Your Life begins at MacQueen Orchards, guiding participants through the adjacent "apple Streets" before returning to the orchard grounds. The event features a 10K, 5K, Challenge event, and Kids Run. The 10K and Challenge commence early, followed by the 5K, and then the Kids Run. The 10K covers 6.2 miles, the 5K is 3.1 miles, and the Kids Run offers a dedicated orchard run for children.
This event is part of Run Toledo’s holiday race season, encouraging costumes and fostering a playful atmosphere. The main races are open to all ages, with specific age requirements: 9 and up for the 10K and Challenge, 6 and up for the 5K, and 11 and under for the Kids Run. Presented by Phelan Orthodontics, this marks the 14th annual running, establishing it as a local fall tradition.
Spooky Sprint - Ann Arbor
Spooky Sprint - Ann Arbor takes place in October at Kensington Metropark, featuring a half marathon, 10K, 5K, untimed 1-mile, kids' dash, and a virtual option. Bodies Race Company presents this event as part of its Holiday Series, designed for runners aiming for a personal best and families seeking a costume-welcoming fall activity. The longer races use chip timing with live results, while the 1-mile and kids' dash offer a relaxed pace.
The half marathon begins in the morning, following park roads shaded by trees and paved trails around Maple Beach. The course has a fast, gently rolling terrain, avoiding steep hills. Costumes are welcome, and finishers will receive Halloween treats. Early registrants get race merchandise, including a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a medal. The kids' dash is open to children aged 10 and under, with a free option that does not include merchandise. Youth pricing is available for the 5K and 10K, making the shorter distances more accessible for families.
Michigan Monster Dash
The Michigan Monster Dash is a Halloween-themed run and walk held at Kensington Metropark in Milford, Michigan. The start and finish are located at Maple Beach by Kent Lake. Finish Line Runs, a race group from the Detroit/Ann Arbor area, organizes the event, typically scheduled for late October. Participants can select from a 1k Kids Dash, 5k, 10k, or half marathon. A virtual option is available for each distance, allowing individuals to run from home, a treadmill, or a local path.
The in-person course winds through Kensington’s wooded area and is described as relatively flat, emphasizing the Halloween atmosphere over a challenging route. Costumes are highly encouraged, contributing to a family-friendly feel across all events, from the kids’ dash to the longer distances. The race supports Make-A-Wish Michigan, with participant contributions exceeding $8,000 for the charity. Previous race perks have included discount coupons from Dick’s in Novi, chocolate milk from Horizon Organic, and jerky packs from Jack Link’s.
Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M at Lansing, MI (43)
The Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M is a late-October running event in Lansing, Michigan, offering four distances: 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. All races begin at 9:30 AM. Advance registration is required through RunSignup, as there is no race-day signup available on site.
The courses are straightforward out-and-backs. The 5K completes one loop, the 10K completes two, the half marathon completes four, and the marathon completes eight. Packet pickup is available 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes prior. Participants should anticipate a park vehicle fee upon entry, charged per car, not per person.
Wicked Halloween Runs
Run of the Dead 2025
Run of the Dead is a fall 5K in Charlotte that sends runners through Historic Elmwood Pinewood Cemetery, a cemetery of more than 70 acres with many notable names from the city’s past. The event also includes a free 1 Mile Kids Fun Run, with registration required, and kids receive their own fun run finisher medal.
The course follows the cemetery paths rather than ordinary city streets, so the setting is the main thing that separates it from a standard neighborhood 5K. After the run, participants can stay for a food truck, DJ, awards, and a guided tour, while 5K registration includes an official race shirt, custom bib, and finisher medal.
Kona Chocolate Run
The Kona Chocolate Run offers 5K, 10K, and 15K races on Belle Isle in Detroit. All three distances feature a flat, traffic-free course, suitable for both new and experienced runners. Participants can choose a shorter run or extend to the 15K, all without navigating city traffic.
The course provides views of the Detroit skyline, the Ambassador Bridge, the Gordie Howe Bridge, and Windsor across the river. The chocolate theme is central to the event's appeal. Finishers receive medals, and the first 600 registered participants get jackets. The post-race buffet includes hot chocolate, chocolate baked goods, carved chocolate, chocolate milk, chocolate ice cream, a dipping station, and various candies. Awards are presented to the top three overall finishers and the top three in each age group.
Kona Chocolate Runs
The Kona Chocolate Run takes place on a November day on Belle Isle in Detroit, offering a Fun Run alongside 5K, 10K, and 15K races. It caters to both new and seasoned runners, with a flat course designed for consistent pacing instead of challenging hills. The first 600 registrants will receive a Kona Jacket, a tradition dating back to the event’s inception when the jacket was highly coveted.
Participants navigate wide, paved, car-free roads on Belle Isle, with sights of the Detroit skyline, Ambassador Bridge, and Gordie Howe Bridge, plus views of Windsor across the river. All finishers receive medals. The post-race event features a chocolate buffet with hot cocoa, cakes, muffins, ice cream, chocolate-dipped items, chocolate milk, candies, and a chocolate bar carving station. Trophies are awarded to the top three overall finishers and the top three in each age category.
The Original Kroger A2 Turkey Trot
Turkey Trails- Toledo
Turkey Trails-Toledo is a Thanksgiving morning 5K race and walk held at the Eastern Community YMCA on Pickle Road in Oregon, Ohio, near Toledo. The in-person 5K begins at 9am. Race-day registration and packet pickup are available starting at 7:30am. A virtual option is offered for those who wish to receive the shirt and support the YMCA Scholarship Fund without participating on-site.
The course begins and ends at the YMCA, following a quick road route through city streets, with a water station provided. Runners can contend for overall, masters, grand masters, and age-group awards, while the walk remains non-competitive. The event embraces Thanksgiving traditions: the first male and female runners reaching the one-mile mark receive turkeys, costumes are judged in categories such as best turkey look-alike, and the finish area offers fruit, baked goods, sports drink, chip-timed results, and an awards ceremony.

About 10K races in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor Training Notes
Ann Arbor hosts 41 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals build base miles on the Border-to-Border Trail, Gallup Park Loop, Argo/Bandemer Loop, and the University of Michigan Campus & Downtown Ann Arbor. The B2B runs over 35 miles across Washtenaw County, and Gallup Park gives one full loop at about 3 miles. Bird Hills Nature Area, County Farm Park, Lillie Park, and Leslie Nature Center keep recovery days soft, wooded, and winding. Ann Arbor Running Company anchors the week with Monday 5K, Tuesday intervals, Thursday 5K, and Saturday long runs. Ann Arbor Track Club, PR Run Club, Ann Arbor Runners, Ann-Hua Runners, Bandit Racing Team, Fleet Feet, Michigan AA Next Level Running Club, and Tree Town Trail Runners keep the calendar full. Dexter-Ann Arbor Run and The Big House 5K feel like anchor events.
Locals ride a little gravel, a little tarmac, a little multi-use path, and even some singletrack. Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society and Ann Arbor Velo Club give the road scene a real club spine. AABTS ThNR runs 6 km with 211 m. AAVC ThNR runs 7 km with 436 m and turns 63 km into fast rotations, breakaways, chases, and 5 designated sprints. The Dirt Hammer starts at Barton Nature Area, and the Nacho Ride goes about 50 miles west of town. Stein Road brings the hills, and plenty of routes add punchy climbs.
Spring and Autumn are the cleanest months for stacking Z2, intervals, long runs, gravel days, and cyclocross legs. Summer brings warm to hot humid days, with average highs around 27°C and the heaviest precipitation of the year. Locals still run early, use the Huron River paths, and keep Gallup Park or the B2B in the mix. Winter changes the kit first, because average highs sit around -1°C and snowfall averages 91 cm per season. Roads are often plowed, bike lanes do not get cleared, and studded tires are easy to find when ice shows up. Runners shift to Broadway Winter Route energy and use roads when it is dark.
