Beach to Beer takes place on an October race morning in Colonial Beach, Virginia, featuring a 10K, a 5K, and a non-timed 1-mile walk. The 10K begins first, followed by the 5K a few minutes later, and the walk starts after both runs, ensuring a compact and straightforward event. The 5K and 10K are chip-timed with live results, while the 1-mile option provides a relaxed way for walkers and children to participate. The 5K and 10K follow a flat, fast course along the Potomac side of Colonial Beach, concluding at Colonial Beach Brewing. Walkers in the 5K begin after the runners, and the 5K has a 1-hour time limit. Awards are presented to the top three overall finishers and the top three in each age group for both timed races, with age groups for participants 14 and under. Post-race, Colonial Beach Brewing and Ice House Brewery serve local craft beer, and the race benefits BAMM.

The Bunnyman Turkey Trot is a 5K and 10K race in Lorton, Virginia, starting at the Workhouse Arts Center, close to Bunnyman Brewing. It takes place over Thanksgiving holiday weekend, offering a shorter option for runners who prefer a brief race around the holiday instead of a longer, more demanding event. The course begins and ends near the brewery at 9518 Workhouse Way, with the race focused on the Workhouse Arts Center grounds. Participants who run in person receive a ticket for a post-race drink. Those unable to attend can opt for virtual packages, which include a medal and shirt or a medal by itself.

The Lake Anna Turkey Trot takes place on Thanksgiving weekend at Lake Anna State Park in Spotsylvania Courthouse, Virginia. Participants can select a 5K trail run, a 10K, or a half marathon. Walkers are also accommodated. The event is structured more like a holiday park gathering than a typical single-distance road race, offering both in-person participation and virtual options for those joining remotely. The 10K and half marathon courses divide their mileage equally between trail and paved road, meaning the longer distances are not exclusively on pavement. Entrants to the state park will need either a park pass or to pay a separate entrance fee, a detail to consider before race day. Registration pricing increases as the event date approaches. Virtual entries are available in various packages, with options to include or exclude a medal and shirt.
