5K versenyek Ligonier közelében

A Chernisky Ghost Town Trail-a-thon egy októberi trail esemény Duman Lake County Parkban, Ebensburg, Pennsylvania mellett. Ez zárja a Cambria County Trails Series-t, ahol a megye minden trailjére jut egy külön esemény. Az útvonal a Ghost Town Trailre megy rá, amit korábban Pennsylvania Trail of the Yearnek is választottak. Választhatsz marathon, 15-miler, 5k, adaptive-device 5k, firefighter turnout gear 5k, vagy akár a "Couch Potato 0.0k" közül, ha inkább kihagynád a versenyzést. A hosszabb futószámok befutója Duman Lake County Parkban van. A célterületről lesz transzfer a marathon és a 15-mile rajthelyekre. Bringával egy laza 26.2-mile közös tekerés van a programban: Duman Lake County Parkból indul, a Twin Rocks trailhead felé megy, végig a Ghost Town Trail és a C & I Extension nyomvonalán. A bringások használhatják a futóknak kijelölt frissítőpontokat. A sorozatban a fiataloknak ingyenes az indulás, a teljes bevétel pedig a Cambria County trailek fejlesztésére és bővítésére megy.

The Bryon Martini Jr. 5K Memorial Run/Walk is a 5 km community run and walk held at Washington Run Park in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania, scheduled for early October. A Kiddie K is also part of the event, allowing families to participate even if not all members wish to complete the full 5K. The race honors Bryon Martini Jr. and supports local causes. All proceeds provide scholarships for graduating seniors at Frazier High School. Participants will also find raffles and T-shirts available on race day.

The Jingle All the Way 5K & 10K is a holiday-themed race held in December at The Water's Edge Park in Corpus Christi, Texas. Participants can choose between a 5K run/walk and a 10K, both beginning in the early morning. A 1K race for children aged 10 and under takes place just before the main events. The event caters to local runners, walkers, and families, not exclusively serious competitors. The 1K race is not chip timed, and every child finisher receives a ribbon. Race shirts have sold out for the 5K, 10K, and kids' race. A previous participant noted the small-group start format provided a safer method for runners to begin.

The nonprofit uses the race to support adults with intellectual disabilities, with proceeds helping fund home upgrades, job assistance, and related services. The Derry branch runs in Keystone State Park. The local race typically uses Legion-Keener Park in Latrobe when available. It usually draws about 100 participants.
