Courses de 5K près de Peralta

Balloon Run starts and finishes at Bosque School in Albuquerque, with runners choosing a half marathon, 10-mile race, or 5K on the opening morning of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The races begin early, so the main spectacle is already overhead: hundreds of hot air balloons rising while runners move along the Rio Grande. It is a local race with chip timing, race shirts for all participants, music, and a setup aimed at both serious runners and families making a morning of it. The course follows the Rio Grande area, giving runners open views of the river and the balloon launch instead of a closed-in city route. The half marathon is the newest distance, while the 10-mile and 5K options keep the event accessible for people who want a shorter run. Local organizers run the event, it supports local causes, and the warm-up is led by a local two-time Olympian. Reviews point to simple parking and check-in, friendly volunteers, clean timing, and a more personal feel than the bigger balloon-themed races in town.

Le SANDIA MOUNTAIN SHADOWS TRAIL RUN, tu vois, il part et il arrive de Piedra Lisa Park, sur Menaul Boulevard, dans le nord-est d'Albuquerque, juste en dessous des Sandia foothills. C'est un truc qui revient tous les ans à l'automne, et ils proposent des courses de 10K et 5K. Le 10K démarre avant le 5K, d'ailleurs. C'est RunFit, une asso à but non lucratif du New Mexico, qui organise tout ça, et les fonds servent à leurs actions contre l'obésité infantile. Le parcours, il te fait passer dans le coin de Menaul et des foothills, avec des super vues sur Albuquerque, la Rio Grande Valley et les Sandia Mountains. Les organisateurs disent que tu pourrais même apercevoir des montgolfières en contrebas. Tous ceux qui finissent le 5K ou le 10K ont une médaille et un t-shirt. Les prix, c'est pour les scratchs et les premiers de chaque catégorie d'âge, à condition d'avoir ton dossard avec la puce de chronométrage officielle, bien sûr. C'est la vingt-deuxième édition cette année, et l'ambiance, c'est vraiment celle d'un petit trail local d'Albuquerque le matin, pas du tout une grosse course sur route.

The Great Balloon Chase takes runners through Albuquerque with hot air balloons overhead from the world's largest ballooning event. The series offers a half marathon, 10K, and 5K run/walk, all starting and finishing at Los Poblanos Fields Open Space in the Rio Grande River Valley. The race pairs a regular running lineup with a distinct Albuquerque setting: balloons above, the Sandia Mountains nearby, and open fields around the start and finish. RaceNM presents the event; the half marathon is open to runners age 16 and older. The 10th anniversary includes commemorative jackets for the first 1,000 registrants.

The Run for the 1 in 100 is an annual 5K and 2K walk/run held at Mission Field @ Hoffmantown Church, organized by the Lexiam Heart Foundation.

The race is designed for runners, walkers, families, and supporters, not exclusively competitive athletes. In addition to the 5K and 2K, the day features family activities, scheduled food trucks, and a Remembrance Ceremony for Heart Angels, reinforcing the event's connection to the families at the core of the cause.

Le Little Rock Marathon, c'est à Little Rock, Arkansas, le premier week-end de mars. L'épreuve principale, c'est un marathon de 26.2-mile, certifié, en une seule boucle. Créé en 2003, la course est homologuée par l'USATF et qualificative pour le Boston Marathon. Ça attire des coureurs et des marcheurs des 50 états et de plus de 15 pays, avec une barrière horaire de 8-hour pour le marathon et de 4-hour pour le half-marathon. En plus, ils proposent un programme d'entraînement gratuit toute l'année et ça permet de récolter des fonds pour Little Rock Parks & Recreation. Le parcours part et arrive à Downtown Little Rock, en traversant l'Arkansas River. Tu passes par des lieux emblématiques comme l'Arkansas State Capitol, le River Market District, le Clinton Presidential Center, le Governor's Mansion, le MacArthur Birthplace/Military Museum et le Historic Little Rock Central High School. Le tracé n'est pas plat du tout ; la plus grosse bosse est au début, et après tu as d'autres petites côtes. Le coureur Bill Rodgers a dit que Little Rock est "a little salty." L'événement intègre des trucs sympas, avec un thème unique chaque année, des produits dérivés et des décos d'expo qui collent au thème, des participants déguisés, le couch potato mile, le Lipstick Stop, et une grosse médaille de finisher qui, paraît-il, grossit un peu chaque année.

Finish The Ride and Finish The Run Santa Clarita begin and end at West Creek Park in Valencia. The event includes cycling races and 5K and 10K runs, all part of the same Halloween-themed program.

The event directly supports Streets Are For Everyone, a Southern California organization advocating for safer roads for all users, including drivers, cyclists, runners, and pedestrians. Registration fees contribute to this cause, meaning participants support road-safety advocacy alongside their costume-friendly ride or run. Cohen Law Partners is the title sponsor, with Fleet Feet and Incycle listed as community sponsors.

Run with Joy starts and finishes at Canteen Brewhouse on Aztec Road NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is an annual unicorn-themed race morning with four distances: a 13.1-mile half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1 Miler. The half marathon goes off first, the 10K and 5K follow together, and the mile starts a few minutes later, so the event works for runners who want a longer effort and people who just want a short, social run. The course is an out-and-back route on the North Diversion Channel Trail, a shared path that is mostly flat except for small rises and drops where it passes under major streets. Aid stations, hydration, and porta potties are placed at several points. Finish-line perks lean into the brewery setting: half marathon, 10K, and 5K runners get a medal, shirt, beer or root beer, and a breakfast burrito, while 1 Miler participants get the drink and burrito without the shirt or medal. The event is in its fifth annual running.
