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 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 Neighborhood Block Party Run/Walk is a costume-friendly 5K fun run and walk held around Halloween in Sterling Heights, Michigan. It is designed for families and runners alike: strollers are permitted, the distance is manageable, and participants can choose to compete, walk, or simply be part of the neighborhood week it initiates. 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 Frightful 5K and Pumpkin 1K begin at the Troy Community Center, located at 3179 Livernois Road in Troy, Michigan, during the Halloween season. The City of Troy hosts the event, offering an 8:30 am 5K for runners and walkers, followed by a 9:30 am Pumpkin 1K family fun run for children and their families. 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.

A Set the PACE 5K egy októberi futó- és gyaloglóesemény a Detroit Riverwalkon. Indulhatsz személyesen 5K futáson, személyesen 5K sétán, vagy választhatod a virtuális run/walk verziót. A helyszíni verseny a Riverwalkról rajtol és oda is ér vissza, a nevezési bevételek pedig a PACE Southeast Michigant támogatják, amely idősebb felnőtteknek segít abban, hogy biztonságosan és önállóan élhessenek tovább az otthonukban és a közösségükben. A pálya egy mért idejű oda-vissza útvonal a riverwalk mentén, közben áthalad a Milliken State Parkon. A frissítőpont a fordítónál lesz, nagyjából 1 mile-ra a rajttól. Először a futók indulnak, pár perccel később a gyaloglók; késői nevezést nem fogadnak el. Minden célba érkező érmet kap. Díjazzák az összetett férfi és női győztest, valamint a korosztályos legjobb futókat is. Ez lesz az esemény ötödik éve. Kutyát és más háziállatot nem lehet vinni a pályára, és a versenyt időjárástól függetlenül megtartják.

Run of the Dead is a fall 5K in Charlotte that sends runners through Historic Elmwood Pinewood Cemetery, a cemetery of more than 70 acres with many notable names from the city’s past. The event also includes a free 1 Mile Kids Fun Run, with registration required, and kids receive their own fun run finisher medal. The course follows the cemetery paths rather than ordinary city streets, so the setting is the main thing that separates it from a standard neighborhood 5K. After the run, participants can stay for a food truck, DJ, awards, and a guided tour, while 5K registration includes an official race shirt, custom bib, and finisher medal.

The Oceana County Vet Day 5K is an annual 5K run in Downtown Shelby, Michigan, held on the second Saturday of November. It starts and finishes at the newly renovated Getty Park, and the Oceana County Department of Veteran's Affairs organizes the race as its main fundraiser. The route heads north on Industrial Drive, then loops back south on the Hart-Montague Trail. All proceeds stay in Oceana County to help local veterans with needs such as rides to medical appointments, food pantry support, and other assistance. Same-day registration is available, and runners are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start.
