Az Inner Harbor 5K egy 3.1-mile országúti futóverseny Syracuse, New York városában, ősszel rendezik, a Syracuse Inner Harbor köré szervezve. A rajt Solar Streeten van, a befutó pedig a harbor-nál. A rajtcsomag-átvétel és a helyszíni nevezés versenynapon Solar és West Kirkpatrick kereszteződésénél megy. A fő 5K mellett van egy 2K Peace Run for Brexi is, így a klasszikus táv mellé egy rövidebb, közösségibb futás is bekerül. A hitelesített 5K pálya nagyrészt sík és gyors, átvisz Franklin Square-en, aztán visszakanyarodik az Inner Harbor felé. Díjazzák az abszolút első három férfi és női befutót, a korosztályos győzteseket, és még a mezőny közepéről is kiemelnek résztvevőket, szóval nem csak az élmezőnyről szól az egész. A cél után masszázs, yoga, zene, food truckok és beer tasting vár. A bevétel az It's About Childhood & Family, Inc. munkáját támogatja, amely egy Central New York-i nonprofit, trauma-informed terápiás szolgáltatásokkal gyerekeknek és családoknak, valamint a Syracuse Run Clubot, amely elérhető heti közösségi futásokra épít.

November első vasárnapján a New York City Marathon egy 26.2-mile pályán megy végig mind az öt borough-on. A verseny most TCS New York City Marathon néven fut, a New York Road Runners szervezi, és az Abbott World Marathon Majors része. Jönnek profik, klubfutók, charity csapatok és amatőrök a világ minden részéről; a frissebb kiadásokon több mint 59,000 célba érkező volt, miközben több mint 200,000 jelentkezés futott be. Rajtszámot szerezni nem egyszerű: a legtöbb helyet sorsolással adják ki New York metro, national és international poolokban. Garantált indulást lehet kapni az NYRR 9+1 programjával, charity fundraisinggel, időeredmény alapján, philanthropic membership révén, vagy ha korábban már 15 vagy több alkalommal teljesítetted a versenyt. Az egész egy jóval kisebb Central Park-beli futásként indult, Fred Lebow és Vincent Chiappetta szervezésében, 127 indulóval, körülbelül 100 nézővel és 55 célba érkezővel. Nők már az elejétől indulhattak, bár az eredményeik akkor még nem számítottak hivatalosnak, és Nina Kuscsik volt az egyetlen női résztvevő az első mezőnyben.

Az Utica Ugly Sweater 5K egy decemberi országúti futás, rajttal és céllal a Pizza Boy's-nál, New York Millsben, Utica közelében.

A pálya egy egyszerű 5K aszfaltos kör, ami a Pizza Boy's-tól indul és oda is ér vissza. A rajtcsomagot át lehet venni a versenynap előtt, illetve reggel a helyszínen is.

A gyorsabbak összetett és korosztályos díjakért mehetnek, de az ugly sweater contest is sokakat megmozgat, Best Ugly Sweater, Most Creative és Most Funny díjakkal.
