At the Sancta Clara Nun Run, nuns cheer participants as the 5K enters the monastery grounds. The Saturday morning run/walk starts at St George Byzantine Catholic in Canton, Ohio. Registration is capped at 300 due to fire-code and parking limitations. The event benefits the Poor Clares sisters, with proceeds supporting the nuns and the renovation of Sancta Clara Monastery. The course includes local streets, the Middlebranch trail, and the monastery grounds, giving it the feel of a parish-and-neighborhood fundraiser rather than a typical road race. Strollers are permitted, and those not participating in the run or walk can opt for a shirt-only package. A kids fun run precedes the 5K, followed by awards, refreshments, food, face painting, and a balloon artist. All finishers get a running nun medal, and the race marks the start of the Poor Clares' anniversary observance in Canton.

The Monster Dash is a Halloween-season 5K and kids’ fun run in Spokane, held in Manito Park on the South Hill. The 5K starts in the morning and uses chip timing, while the Kids’ Fun Run follows with 1-mile, half-mile, and quarter-mile options. This setup allows parents to run the 5K first, then join their children for the shorter race. The kids’ races finish with candy goodie bags, and grownups can walk or run beside children for the whole course. Costumes are a significant part of the day, with most participants dressing up, and dogs and strollers are welcome. The MonsterDash series changes theme each year, with past themes including Dracula, spiders, skeletons, Frankenstein, aliens, and witches; music, food, expo items, gifts, collector bibs, and costume awards align with the theme. Race proceeds support Active4Youth, a local nonprofit focused on getting children into sports and healthy activity.

A Conquer the Castle egy őszi trail verseny a North Chagrin Reservation területén, Cleveland, Ohio mellett, ahol 5K-tól egészen 100K ultramarathonig lehet távot választani. Van 10-mile és 20-mile futam, 50K és 100K ultra, plusz ruck kategória a 10-mile és 20-mile távokon. Chipes időmérés van, a frissítőpontok rendesen fel vannak pakolva, a hosszabb távok pedig olyan korán rajtolnak, hogy simán benne van, hogy páran még sötétedés után is kint lesznek a pályán. Az útvonal a Cleveland Metroparks ösvényein megy North Chagrin körül, az 5-mile frissítőpont pedig a Squire's Castle Shelter-nél van, innen jön a verseny kastélyos tematikája is. A délelőtti és délutáni rajtokkal a rövidebb és középtávos futók több időpont közül választhatnak, míg az 50K és 100K indulók kérhetnek korai rajtot, de ezzel lemondanak a díjazásról. A célba érkezők érmet kapnak, a 100K finisherek belt buckle-t, és néhány futamnál van egy játékos lovaggá ütős hagyomány is. A 10-mile, 20-mile, 50K és 100K versenyeken a legjobb három női és férfi indulót díjazzák.
