Il Thanksgiving Stuffing Stomp 5k & 10k è una corsa mattutina a Hains Point, Washington, DC, che offre distanze sia corte che più lunghe su un percorso piatto. Si parte alle 7:45 AM Eastern, lì vicino alla Nation's Capital, ed è pensata più come una corsa tranquilla per le feste, non una di quelle gare impegnative di trail o con salite. Il percorso segue Hains Point, una penisola pianeggiante lungo il Potomac River, e offre una bella vista sul fiume con un dislivello minimo. Sono ammessi anche camminatori e passeggini, quindi la gara è aperta a tutti, non solo ai runner che puntano al tempo. L'organizzatore è Bishop's Events, e il referente è Travis Bishop. C'è anche la possibilità di partecipare in modalità virtuale, per chi vuole il pacco gara senza esserci di persona.

The Cranberry Crawl is a 5K and 10K race held at East Potomac Park Golf Course on Ohio Drive SW in Washington, DC. Packet pickup begins the morning before the races. The 5K run and race walk start first, with the 10K following soon after. Each distance anticipates around 100 participants, giving it the feel of a local club event rather than a large city race. The course is flat, utilizing paved roads and one or two out-and-back segments depending on the distance. The event accommodates walkers and wheelchair athletes, and racewalkers compete for separate awards. The top three finishers in each race receive awards within 10-year age groups for men and women. Cranberry bread is part of the prize offerings. Warm refreshments are available post-race, and ample free parking is provided on-site.

The District’s Turkey Trot 5k & 10k è una corsa pre-Thanksgiving che si tiene a Rock Creek Park, Washington, DC, e propone sia la 5k che la 10k. L'evento parte di buon mattino ed è pensata come una corsa per famiglie, dove sono benvenuti camminatori e passeggini, oltre ai runner. Il percorso si snoda all'interno di Rock Creek Park, offrendo ai runner locali un tracciato nel parco cittadino in vista della settimana di festa. L'organizzatore è Bishop’s Events, e il referente dell'evento è Travis Bishop. Sono disponibili anche le iscrizioni virtuali, con opzioni più economiche che includono o meno medaglia e maglietta, per permettere la partecipazione a chi non può essere presente di persona.

The Turkey Trot Prediction Run is a Thanksgiving Day 10K in Columbia, Maryland. It starts and finishes at Jeffers Hill Neighborhood Center on Tamar Drive and is organized by Howard County Striders. The unique aspect is that speed is not the objective; runners aim to finish as close to 11:00 a.m. as possible. Participants select their own start time, and the runner whose finish time is closest to the 11:00 a.m. target wins. Because timing devices are prohibited, pacing relies on feel, judgment, and an accurate internal clock. The route follows an out-and-back path from Jeffers Hill down Tamar Drive toward Lake Elkhorn. Participants then run counterclockwise around the lake before returning via the same path. The total distance is approximately 10K, with about 265 feet of elevation gain and descent. The course was modified due to underpass construction that affected the previous route. Registration is available on race day only, with a straightforward on-site signup using laptops. Fees are modest for students and individuals. Strollers, headphones, iPods, and animals are not permitted, ensuring the event concentrates on runners' ability to read the course and their own pacing. Proceeds benefit the Tripp Scholar Athlete Fund.

Race 13.1 Baltimore begins and ends at Canton Waterfront Park, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K races on the same morning. The half marathon and 10K start first, with the 5K following soon after.

The course follows the waterfront for a significant portion, winding through the Inner Harbor and historic Fells Point. It is largely flat, with some inclines in Fells Point. The half marathon can attract up to approximately 2,000 participants. The event focuses on practicality, featuring well-supplied aid stations, course marshals, live text results post-race, and numerous food and beverage options near the start-finish area on the waterfront.
