The Run For Your Life 5k Series - The City Collapsed is a 5k road race in Fairborn, Ohio, held on a fall Saturday with a zombie-apocalypse theme. Participants start as Survivors, wearing flag football belts. The race challenges runners not just to finish the distance, but also to protect their flags from being captured, which would mark them as infected. Zombies have a distinct role: they remain within designated infected zones rather than completing the full course. Their objective is to remove flags from approaching Survivors. This event is modest in scale, anticipating 1 to 100 participants. It emphasizes costumes, imaginative zombie makeup, speed, rapid decision-making, and composure under duress.

Run For Your Life is a charity 5k and 10k fun run/walk held at the PNWU campus in Yakima, Washington, starting and finishing on campus. Organized by PNWU students, the race is combined with a health fair, making the morning suitable for runners, walkers, families, and local residents, not just competitive racers. Check-in is in the morning before a 9:30 start, with participants selecting either the 5k or 10k route. The event originated on PNWU’s campus in Terrace Heights and maintains a student-led, community-health focus. Funds raised support PNWU scholarships, particularly for students from rural and medically underserved areas pursuing health careers. The Community Fair features PNWU student clubs and local health organizations, offering information on topics like heart health, diabetes, smoking cessation, back pain, mental health, therapy services, substance abuse, outdoor recreation, exercise, and sexual health. Race shirts, route maps, parking details, and RunSignUp registration are provided.

The event is open to runners, walkers, and participants using wheels, and the afternoon schedule starts with registration before the races begin. The race benefits Family Promise of Greene County, with proceeds helping local displaced families recover from homelessness. Finishers come back to a chocolate-focused post-race party with chocolate donuts, hot chocolate, and chocolate candy, while winners receive awards and results are posted through Speedy Feet as people finish.

The Ezra J. Hartke Race for Hope is an annual November fundraiser offering 5K and 10K races. Named for Ezra J. Hartke, it supports childhood cancer research and care, having raised over $133,000 to date. The event is presented by The Barry & Denise Johnson Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and providing support for childhood cancer. Funds from the inaugural race generated $18,000 for Dayton Children's Hospital research into brain tumors. This research included studying how tumor cells resist treatment and how a steroid medication affects stem cells within a tumor. That initial donation contributed to launching a larger project focused on targeting specific cell types in brain tumors to improve therapy effectiveness.
