Rowe’s Research Runners Annual Event is a walk, run, and roll fundraiser in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, with a virtual option for those unable to attend in person. The in-person gathering uses the Pennsylvania Military Museum as its base, and the event supports research into ME/CFS, dysautonomia, long COVID, and related illnesses. This is the ninth annual edition, and registration does not include a T-shirt; shirts and extra merchandise are sold separately. The event originated from Emily Steffensmeier’s birthday fundraiser and her desire to thank Dr. Peter Rowe, the physician who helped her transition from being bedridden toward a fuller life. Rowe’s Research Runners collaborates with Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, and all money raised goes directly to Dr. Rowe and his colleagues at the Chronic Fatigue and Related Disorders Clinic. The cause is personal and medical: Emily has lived with these conditions for 24 years, and the event focuses on fundraising, awareness, and connection for patients and families managing illnesses that can affect the nervous system, immune function, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, and daily energy.

Knights on the Run is a road race in North Andover, Massachusetts, organized by NAAA. It features a traditional 5K and a kids run. Check-in and race-day registration begin at 8:30 a.m. at North Andover High School. Walk-in registration is available after online signup closes the previous evening. The kids event, Knights in Training, is for children under 12 and starts at 9:00 a.m. Its grade-group courses for Pre-K through second grade and third through fifth grade are each about a quarter mile. Proceeds support the North Andover Athletic Association, which has backed North Andover athletics for more than 50 years. When construction interrupts the traditional 5K course, the organizer still runs the kids event.

Le First Night Resolution Run 5K, c'est un 5K qui se court le soir du Réveillon du Nouvel An à State College, Pennsylvania. C'est lié aux festivités First Night de la ville. Apparemment, c'est une course annuelle en décembre, une petite occasion de se dégourdir les jambes une dernière fois avant la fin de l'année. L'annonce publique donne la distance et le lieu, mais on n'a pas de carte détaillée du parcours. Le truc, c'est que la structure est super simple : un unique 5K dans le code postal 16801 de State College, le 31 décembre. Comme il n'y a pas d'avis de coureurs sur la page source, ça laisse penser que c'est plutôt un événement local modeste qu'une course de destination très médiatisée.
