The Dew What You Say 5K is a Wayne State University Physical Therapy fundraiser held in Detroit, taking place on the school’s Midtown campus around Gullen Mall. Participants can choose between a 5K run/walk or a 1-mile walk for a shorter option. The event begins in the morning with affordable registration and a straightforward setup, functioning as a campus community gathering to raise funds for the physical therapy clinics, rather than a large-scale city event. The funds raised benefit Wayne State’s student-operated pro bono clinics: the SAY Detroit Physical Therapy Clinic and the Diabetes Education and Wellness Clinic. These clinics provide services to uninsured and underinsured Detroit residents. Race proceeds contribute to the purchase of supplies, educational resources, and general clinic maintenance throughout the year. While specific course details are minimal, the location is defined: runners and walkers will assemble near Wayne State’s Biological Sciences Building on Gullen Mall. On-site and nearby parking is available, and the first 100 participants will receive tote bags.

Le Set the PACE 5K, c'est un événement course et marche qui se tient sur la Detroit Riverwalk en octobre. Tu peux choisir entre une course 5K en présentiel, une marche 5K en présentiel, ou une course/marche virtuelle. La course en présentiel démarre et finit à la Riverwalk, et les fonds récoltés vont à PACE Southeast Michigan, une orga qui aide les seniors à rester autonomes et en sécurité chez eux et dans leur quartier. Le parcours, chronométré, est un aller-retour le long de la riverwalk, et il passe par Milliken State Park. Un ravito est mis en place au demi-tour, à environ 1 mile du départ. Les coureurs partent avant les marcheurs, qui eux s'élancent quelques minutes après ; les inscriptions tardives ne sont pas acceptées. Tous ceux qui finissent auront une médaille. Des prix sont donnés aux premiers hommes et femmes au scratch, ainsi qu'aux meilleurs de chaque catégorie d'âge. C'est la cinquième édition de l'événement. Les animaux ne sont pas autorisés sur le parcours, et la course aura lieu peu importe la météo.

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.
