Forever Home Run combines a professionally timed 5K run/walk with a 1K Dress-Up Dash for children in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. This autumn charity race in Oakland County offers both on-site and virtual participation, generating funds and awareness for Legacy Adoption Services and foster children awaiting permanent adoptive families. The 5K route winds gently through Bloomfield Hills, while the shorter Dress-Up Dash provides a costume-friendly race for children. The event accommodates families, runners of varying paces, walkers, and children, with on-site activities focused on the adoption mission. Now in its twelfth year, the race supports efforts across Michigan to protect children, connect families with resources, and help more children find stable homes.

Scare Away Hunger is a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile fun run/walk held on October 5th at Rochester Municipal Park in Rochester, Michigan. Neighborhood House organizes this event to raise funds to combat local food insecurity, with MSU Federal Credit Union serving as the presenting sponsor. The event is designed to be family-friendly, offering the 5K for runners and walkers, and a 1-mile course suitable for children, families, and casual participants. The course is contained within Rochester Municipal Park. The 5K is open to participants of all skill levels, not exclusively fast racers. Halloween is incorporated into the day, with costumes encouraged. Following the run/walk, participants can enjoy music and a Pancake Breakfast. The funds generated will benefit Neighborhood House, a Rochester Hills nonprofit that assists over 3,000 households annually with food, clothing, financial aid, and other support.

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.

The route follows paved paths through Farmstead Park and along the Clinton River Trail, with only a few meters of packed dirt. Proceeds support Riverwood’s Neighborhood Block Party, a free Halloween night event serving hundreds of local families, making the race both a morning activity and a fundraiser for the community party.

The Halloween Hustle is a Halloween-season run and walk held at Lake St Clair Metropark in Harrison Township, Michigan. All activities are based at the Thomas Welch Activity Center, with the start and finish lines located just outside. Participants can select an 8K, a 5K, a half-mile Fun Run, or virtual 5K and 8K options. The Fun Run begins in the morning, followed by the 5K and 8K races concurrently. This schedule allows families to accommodate children, walkers, and runners seeking a timed result. The race embraces the holiday theme while maintaining essential elements: chip timing, photography, post-race refreshments, age-group awards (0-12 to 80+), a long-sleeve tech shirt, and a glow-in-the-dark finisher medal. Costumes are encouraged, with contest categories for Most Creative, Best Crazy Hair, and Best Group, along with separate Most Creative divisions for younger and older participants. Dogs and strollers are permitted, group pricing is available to encourage family participation, and Maggie's Wigs for Kids serves as the charity partner.

The 5K follows a USATF-certified route that departs the Community Center, proceeds along Big Beaver, and concludes with a loop around the Troy Civic Campus. Costumes are encouraged, with participants invited to wear spooky, scary, or humorous attire, blending a timed road race with a local Halloween tradition.

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.
