Revel Run is a cross-country-style 5K held at Revel Run in Chelsea, Michigan. It serves as a local annual race for runners and active community members, featuring a straightforward format: a single 5K run on grass-and-trail terrain, distinct from a road course. The event was established after Chelsea saw the discontinuation of two local races, Chelsea Heart and Sole and Run for the Rolls, which created an opening in the community's race schedule. All proceeds benefit the Chelsea Track & Field Teams, making the race a dual-purpose event for community running and a fundraiser for local student athletes.

The Zonta 5K in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, begins at Arena Park, with registration located at the 4-H Building. Participants can choose from three distances: a 10K, a 5K, and a 1-mile fun run/walk. The 10K starts before the 5K and 1-mile events, which both commence at 8 a.m. This schedule accommodates various participants, including club runners, casual walkers, families, and children, catering to different paces. The race supports Zonta Club of Cape Girardeau service projects aimed at improving the lives of women and girls locally and globally. It is included in the Cape Road Runners Grand Prix Events, attracting both local runners and newcomers. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in each age division. Additionally, first-place medals are handcrafted by Haitian artists.

The Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon takes place at Walker Place Park in Bossier City, Louisiana, situated across the Red River from Shreveport. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, accommodating short-distance runners, those training for longer distances, and individuals seeking a local race focused on military appreciation. The event honors veterans directly: veterans receive free entry, and active duty military can participate at a reduced cost with a government-issued military ID. Family and supporters may register at the standard rate. All participants will receive a race shirt and a custom finisher medal. Awards will be presented to the top three male and female overall finishers in each distance.

Run Caney is a trail race in Kisatchie National Forest near Minden, Louisiana, starting and finishing at the park’s Day Use Area. Participants can choose from three options: a 3-mile 5K walk or run, a 6-mile trail race, or a 12-mile trail race. The event includes the standard park usage fee. The course loops around Upper Caney Lake on natural forest terrain, featuring oak flats, small hills, and a moderate amount of rocks and roots. It avoids significant climbs and highly technical obstacles, making it suitable for first-time trail runners while still offering a solid dirt-and-forest experience for regular trail runners. The organizers call it “Old School Style,” with awards reflecting this: overall male and female winners in each distance are recognized, and age-group winners receive handmade ornaments.

The Gingerbread Lane 5K & 10K is a holiday race in Shreveport, held at Walker Place Park. Participants can select a 1-mile run, a 5K, or a 10K. For families with young children, there is a 50-meter Kids Dash. The event also offers a virtual run and a "Volunteer then Run" 5K option. The race embraces the Christmas theme with music by DJ Sasquatch and holiday treats at the finish line. Finishers receive cookies and a glass of milk, departing from the typical banana-and-water offering, creating a simple gingerbread-party atmosphere. The variety of distances, including a kids sprint and a 10K, positions it as a family holiday running event rather than a competition exclusively for serious runners.

The Worthy 5K is a community fundraiser road race in Bossier City, Louisiana. It includes a 5K for runners and walkers, and a half-mile fun run for children 10 and under. The kids' run is untimed, functioning as a short family activity rather than a competitive event. The race supports Trail Life USA troop LA-2206, with funds directed to troop service projects and equipment. This marks the sixth year for the event. Medals are awarded to the first and second place male and female finishers in the 5K, covering age groups from 14 and under to 60 and over.
