Participants may establish personal or team fundraising pages, businesses can participate as sponsors, and volunteers assist with race day operations.

The Main Street Half Marathon & 4 Miler is an annual October race in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, offering a half marathon and a 4-mile run. The half marathon begins at the Red Mill Museum in Clinton, and the 4 Miler starts on Kiceniuk Road in Annandale. Participants for both races receive bus transport from Hunterdon Medical Center to their respective start lines. A walkers-only start is available for the half marathon, making the longer distance accessible for those who wish to complete the full course without running. The course follows Hunterdon County country roads, with organizers as crossing a river, woods, and passing at least one private residence. The event concludes with a gathering at Hunterdon Healthcare in Flemington, with proceeds benefiting the Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center. Both distances include a T-shirt. The event cultivates a local atmosphere while providing organized race-day services, such as packet pickup the day prior, shuttle buses, staggered starts, and a communal finish celebration.

Forbidden Run Fest is a fall trail-and-gravel race within Philadelphia's Wissahickon Valley Park, headquartered at Houston Recreational Center. Participants select from 10K, 10-mile, or half marathon distances, all crossing a blend of compacted dirt, wide gravel, single track, and rocky ascents. The event limits registration to 750 runners and employs chip timing, with aid stations positioned every 2 to 3 miles offering water, Gatorade, and snacks. It is designed for road runners new to trails and trail runners seeking a quicker course than a fully technical one. Much of the running occurs on Forbidden Drive, a 5.45-mile, 25-foot-wide gravel path with a mild maximum grade and significant daily use within the park. The half marathon incorporates approximately five miles of technical single track alongside eight miles of gravel, while the 10-miler features downhill single track and an out-and-back section on Forbidden Drive. All distances encounter a version of the race's challenging climb, Mount "What the heck," a rocky final quarter mile that adds difficulty near the finish. Following the race, participants receive fresh pizza, seasonal refreshments, live music, and comfortable race sweatshirts instead of typical disposable merchandise.

The Run the Vineyards - Cork High & Bottle Deep is a 13.1-mile half marathon held at Blue Cork Winery. It starts at 8:30 AM and has a field limit of approximately 450 runners. This is the seventh year for the event, which maintains a local feel with race announcements starting just before the gun, police-controlled roads, and aid stations positioned roughly every two miles. The course is predominantly paved and flat, includes a 10K split, and has a 3.5-hour time limit, requiring participants to finish by noon. The route begins and ends at the vineyard, with a short section on winery grounds before proceeding onto adjacent roads. This event is suited for those seeking a genuine half marathon experience away from a large-city environment. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the leading runners in 10-year age categories. Strollers are permitted. The post-race activities embrace the winery setting, offering a complimentary glass of wine to all finishers, commemorative wine glasses, finisher medals, downloadable photos, food trucks, massage services, and live music. The Headstrong Foundation is the designated charity partner.

The D&L RaceFest, presented by St. Luke’s, is a November race weekend in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. It is built around four events on and near the D&L Trail: the St. Luke’s D&L Marathon, the St. Luke’s D&L Marathon Relay, the D&L Heritage Half Marathon Run, and the D&L Heritage Half Marathon Walk. The marathon covers 26.2 miles between Allentown and downtown Easton, with most of its miles on the D&L Trail, Pennsylvania’s longest multi-use trail. The routes offer runners, relay teams, and walkers a late-fall point-to-point race on a softer, joint-friendly surface. The event continues the November tradition of the D&L Heritage Half Marathon Run and Walk, while also using sections of the former St. Luke’s Via Marathon and Marathon Relay. Proceeds benefit the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor Inc., a 501(c)3, supporting heritage and environmental programs, plus development and promotion of the D&L Trail. Free downloadable race photos are included through the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor and St. Luke’s University Health Network.

The Garden State 10 Miler & Cookie Chase 5k is a Sunday running event at Colonial Park in Franklin Township, New Jersey, featuring a 5k, a 10-mile race, a two-person 10-mile relay, and a youth mile. The Cookie Chase 5k begins first, followed by the 10 Miler, with the kids’ run scheduled later. Runners may select the 5k, the 10 Miler, or run both as a Half Marathon Challenge to receive an additional “Challenge Accepted” medal. The 10 Miler is presented by the organizers as the fastest ten miler in the tri-state area, offering prize money for the top three men and women, age-group medals, and finisher medals for all participants. The race is centered at Colonial Park, a 685-acre Somerset County park bordering the Delaware and Raritan Canal and the Millstone River. The relay simplifies logistics: one runner completes approximately 3.6 miles, exchanges with their teammate near Mettlers Lane and Colonial Drive, and the second runner covers the remaining 6.4 miles. The 5k embraces its Cookie Chase theme, providing every finisher with a cookie and awarding prize money for the best costumes alongside age-group medals. Packet pickup is available before race day and continues Sunday morning. Parking is arranged near the 10-mile finish, with Mettlers Lane closed to traffic as the longer race concludes.
