The Oakville Remembrance Trail Run is a fall event held in Oakville, Ontario, offering 5 km and 11 km routes along the 16 Mile Creek trails. The event coincides with Remembrance Day, bringing together runners and walkers focused on fitness, community, and supporting those who have served. All proceeds benefit Wounded Warriors Canada, specifically for mental health support for veterans, first responders, and their families. The run starts in Lions Valley. The shorter route provides an accessible option, while the 11 km route offers a more challenging run through the valley. The inaugural event attracted 200 participants and raised over $20,000. The addition of the 5 km distance now accommodates families, walkers, and less experienced trail runners. The event's purpose is to gather in Oakville to honor Canadian veterans, support first responders, and raise awareness for the mental health challenges these groups face.

La Doughnut Dash è una gara su strada annuale di 5 km che si tiene al Macassa Bay Yacht Club, su Harbour Front Drive, a Hamilton, Ontario. C'è una gara per bambini che parte poco prima dell'evento principale. Questa corsa di fine stagione si corre prima di Natale, con la 5 km che parte alle 10:00 del mattino, ora Eastern, dopo la gara dei bambini che inizia alle 9:55. Di solito ci sono più di 310 runner, quindi sembra più una corsa di comunità che una piccola corsetta amatoriale. Usano il chip per il cronometraggio e tutti i partecipanti, di entrambe le gare, ricevono una medaglia da finisher. Il percorso della 5 km fa un giro dentro Bayfront Park, poi va avanti e indietro per circa un miglio sul waterfront trail, girando alla prima isola. È un percorso piatto e misurato con precisione, anche se la sua certificazione è scaduta. Gli spettatori possono vedere i runner alla partenza, intorno ai 1.300 metres, e di nuovo all'arrivo. Grandad's Doughnuts sponsorizza l'evento, fornendo ciambelle per tutti i partecipanti e offrendo piccoli assaggi di gusti diversi; questi assaggi non sono senza frutta secca. Vengono premiati i primi tre uomini e le prime tre donne assoluti, e i primi tre di ogni categoria di età (a gruppi di five-year) dai 19-and-under fino ai 70-plus. La gara ha anche premi a sorteggio e supporta i giovani del posto.

The course follows a waterfront road, emphasizing a shared cause and an accessible distance over a technical racing challenge.

Niagara PAL Santa Dash 5k is a holiday-themed 5K in Niagara Falls, with the route running around the falls before finishing in downtown Niagara Falls. It is built as a community race, with a low entry fee, a student rate, and proceeds supporting local youth. The draw is simple: runners get a short race near one of the best-known natural landmarks in North America, then end in the middle of downtown holiday activity. Early registrants are guaranteed a race T-shirt, and the post-race setup includes family-friendly seasonal activities rather than just a finish line and a walk back to the car.
