Superheroes Triumph! 5K OC is an annual 5K run, walk, and roll at Mason Regional Park in Irvine, California. The event accommodates a wide range of abilities, with a superhero theme reflected in participant perks: every participant receives a cape, a race bib, and a finisher medal. The course is chip timed, fast, and gently rolling, allowing runners a competitive 5K while walkers and rollers navigate a manageable park route. The setup is straightforward: snacks are provided before and after the race, the theme encourages costumes, and the format places first-timers, families, and regular runners on the same course.

Bubble Run Irvine is a family-friendly foam run at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, California, near Irvine. It follows a relaxed 5K-style format, focusing on participation rather than speed: adults, kids, and people with strollers can run, walk, dance, or play their way across up to 3 miles. Participants typically begin in white T-shirts, allowing the colored foam to create a visual effect by the finish. The course guides participants through Foam Bogs, each containing a different color of 100% safe foam and ample bubbles to coat everyone from head to toe. Staff, known as Bubble-teers, assist in ensuring participants are thoroughly foamed. The event's description likens the experience to moving through Willy Wonka’s factory. Starts are organized in waves, with heats divided into smaller groups, contributing to a day that feels more like a continuous family festival than a standard road race.

Pink on Parade, c'est une marche de sensibilisation au cancer du sein qui a lieu au Ryan Bonaminio Park à Riverside, California. C'est un événement ouvert aux familles, aux équipes, aux survivants, à leurs proches, et même à ceux qui veulent venir avec leurs animaux. Au choix, tu as un parcours de 5K ou une marche plus courte de 1.7K, la 'Family Fun walk', qui fait le tour du parc. Le parcours de 5K peut passer par le Mt. Rubidoux et il est conçu pour symboliser le parcours face au cancer. L'option plus courte rend la journée accessible aux enfants et aux marcheurs occasionnels. L'événement rend hommage aux survivants, se souvient de ceux qu'on a perdus à cause du cancer, et tous les fonds récoltés vont à The Pink Ribbon Place, un centre de ressources local qui aide les personnes et les familles touchées par la maladie. En dehors des sentiers de marche, il y a aussi un pavillon pour les survivants, une expo de vendeurs, une zone pour les enfants, de quoi manger et boire, un échauffement avant le départ, des récompenses pour les équipes (pour la collecte de fonds et l'esprit), un concours de design de T-shirts, des produits dérivés, et même une expo de voitures classiques, avec des modèles importés et locaux des années 1940 à 1980.

Hop, Skip & Splash is a 5K run and walk in Huntington Beach, California, featuring a beachside setup and a family-friendly crowd. The event raises funds for children’s swim lessons and water safety education in Orange County and beyond; the $50 registration fee provides swim lessons for one child. The race is short and approachable, suitable for walkers, kids, parents, and casual runners. The organizer reported 200 participants and $30,000 raised last year. This is the event's fourth year.

Luz y Vida is a Día de los Muertos run/walk in Riverside, California, with 5k, 10k, 15k, and half marathon options from Ryan Bonaminio Park. A Better World Running organizes it, and the setup is low-key: bib pickup happens the morning of the race, all distances start early, and registration includes a custom finisher medal, a drawstring goodie bag, free photos, free videos, posted results, snacks, and samples. The course uses a marked open path shared with pedestrians, runners, and cyclists, so this is not a closed-road race. The 5k is an out-and-back, the 10k repeats that loop twice, the 15k repeats it three times, and the half marathon uses three 4.36-mile loops. Aid is available at the turnaround and start/finish area with water, Gatorade, and Gu gels. Strollers are allowed, dogs are not, and half marathoners get a 3-hour-15-minute limit with early starts available by request.

Dino Dash is a Tustin school fundraiser offering running, walking, and cycling options on the same day. Proceeds benefit the Tustin Public Schools Foundation. The event caters to families and racers alike, featuring a 2k fun run, chip-timed 5k and 10k runs, and bike tours for various skill levels, including 15k and 5k family rides. Almost 10,000 participants, including runners, walkers, cyclists, volunteers, and sponsors, attended the last event, demonstrating strong community involvement. The race has a history spanning over thirty years. Its student-created identity contributes to its appeal: a student from Legacy Magnet Academy won the logo competition with a dinosaur carrying companions, a design featured on bibs, shirts, posters, flyers, and social media. The event also provides direct support, with donations covering entry fees for students requiring financial assistance.

Terrain Race Irvine is a mud-and-obstacle 5K at Oak Canyon Park, starting in Silverado, California. The race is scheduled for November and covers about 3 miles. It is short in distance but built around getting dirty, climbing, crawling, and hanging on. The course includes mud pits, walls, ropes, monkey bars, and more than 11 other obstacles shaped around the park terrain. It suits runners who want a playful obstacle course more than a standard road race, and the event also has a festival area with vendors after the run.

The Seal Beach Turkey Trot is a running event held on a Saturday in November in Seal Beach, California, starting and finishing on Main Street.
