Captain "D" Dash for "Sight" is a 5K run/walk in Belton, Texas, hosted by the Belton Lions Club to start LIONS on the LEON. It begins in the morning from the parking lot by the soccer fields and is designed for participation rather than competition: the event is not officially timed, though participants may track their own times using Run Sign-up. The route proceeds down Park Avenue, circles through the neighborhood, and returns along Park Avenue to the Heritage Park parking lot, where awards and photos are part of Picnic in the Park. Awards are given to adult men and women, boys and girls age 11 and under, and the best pirate costumes, with first through third places in each category. Registered 5K participants receive a custom commemorative spinner medal, and entrants also get a "Booty" Bag plus a bib raffle entry.

The Leatherneck Run takes place in Woodway, Texas, starting at First Woodway Baptist Church on Ritchie Road. It features a 5K run and a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, both beginning in the morning following packet pickup and an opening ceremony. This marks the event's 25th year, giving it the character of a well-established local race with a consistent format, rather than a spontaneous fundraising effort. The course begins at the church's main entrance, proceeding through neighborhood streets adjacent to the church. Parking is available on the west side of the main entrance. Early packet pickup occurs in nearby Waco. All participants receive a finisher medal. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three in age groups ranging from 12 and under to 75 and older.

The Jingle Bell Dash is a holiday 5K in Killeen, Texas, starting at the Killeen Community Center and using the Andy K. Wells Hike & Bike Trail. The event begins in the morning with a new start and finish line. It follows the typical format for a local race: a single 5K distance, packet pickup available before race day, and registration on race day before the start. The race is included in the Centex Race Series, meaning all participants earn series points, not just the top finishers. Medals are awarded to the overall female and male winners, and age-group medals are given to the top three female and male runners in each category. The first 200 runners who pre-register are assured of receiving shirts, with a limited number of shirts also available on race day.
