Gare di 5K vicino a Canby

È la 1st Annual Run for Resilience Ostomy 5K, una 5K che si fa a Portland, Oregon, nel Laurelhurst Park per l'Ostomy Awareness Day. È una corsa per famiglie con una OPEN Division e una OSTOMATE Division. Così gli ostomates possono scegliere una categoria dedicata, mentre amici, parenti, colleghi e altri sostenitori possono partecipare allo stesso evento. Alla gara ci sono anche stand di produttori locali, cibo, musica e attività per tutte le età. Il percorso è dentro il Laurelhurst Park, un parco storico di Portland fondato più di un secolo fa, con elementi come il Firwood Lake. Tutti i proventi vanno a United Ostomy Associations of America, una 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization che offre risorse, educazione, advocacy e supporto per le persone che vivono con una stomia o una diversione continentale. I partecipanti possono formare gruppi o squadre di gara, raccogliere fondi individualmente o come squadre, e possono ricevere un rimborso dell'iscrizione raccogliendo un minimo di $150.

Runtoberfest is a fall-themed 5K run/walk in McMinnville, beginning and ending at McMinnville High School’s Wortman Stadium. The event includes a Kid’s Mile for children 12 and under, designed for families and regular runners alike. The race supports the McMinnville Education Foundation, with runners selecting a school affiliation during registration. One Mac 40 school will receive the Golden Shoe Trophy, adding a school-spirit element beyond the 5K. Walkers have a separate start before the main race, accommodating mixed-pace groups and first-time participants.

Hit the Barlow Trail Run/Walk & Kid's Dash is a community 5K at Sam Barlow High School in Gresham, Oregon, with a kids dash starting before the main run/walk. The Sam Barlow High School Alumni Association organizes the annual event, and participants can join in person or choose a virtual run/walk option. The 5K uses the school campus, mostly following the cross country trail with mixed running surfaces. A track option is available for people who cannot use the trail. Runners and walkers get bibs and see a race clock, but the event does not keep official times or places. Everyone receives a finisher award, and proceeds support SBHSAA student scholarships.

Running Scared is a Halloween-themed 5K and 13K based at Captain William Clark Park in Washougal, Washington, in the Greater Portland area. The shorter race starts at 8:00 AM and the 13K follows at 8:30 AM, giving runners a choice between a quick morning run and a longer fall-distance challenge. Costumes are encouraged, but the event also works for runners who just want to race, jog, or bring kids into the Halloween mood without making the day too serious. The standout option is the Deadly Double, where runners complete both the 5K and the 13K and get separate recognition for that combined effort. All participants receive a long-sleeve race shirt and a custom finisher medal, and the start and finish area includes music and Halloween goodies. Awards go deep: overall male and female winners, Masters, Grand Masters, Senior Masters, and traditional five-year age groups are all covered in both race distances.

The Ann Arbor Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day fun run and walk in Ann Arbor, Michigan, featuring a 5K and a non-timed Tot Trot 1K. The 5K is chip-timed, provides official results and award eligibility, and is suitable for families as well as runners aiming for a specific time. The 1K offers younger children their own short race, ensuring the morning is inclusive for all ages and running abilities. The event embraces the holiday spirit: participants often wear costumes, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies at the finish, and can take photos with Turkey Tom and Santa. Runners, walkers, and crawlers are welcome, reflecting the day's relaxed atmosphere. Each entry includes a finisher medal, and a portion of the entry fee benefits the ChadTough Foundation, with options for additional donations during registration.

A dicembre c'è la Jingle Bell 5k Relay, una corsa a Riverfront Park, a Salem, Oregon, con partenza in prima serata. Si corrono 5 chilometri completando un anello di 1k all'interno dell'Holiday Light Display del parco, individualmente o come staffetta a squadre. Le squadre possono essere formate da un solo corridore o da più partecipanti, quindi sia chi corre tutti e cinque gli anelli da solo, sia i gruppi che si dividono la distanza. Nelle staffette, invece del testimone tradizionale, ci si passa una glow stick al corridore successivo, per richiamare l'atmosfera delle luci natalizie. L'evento è organizzato da Fleet Feet, e l'iscrizione per una squadra costa $10.

The Couve Clover Run is a St. Patrick’s-style run and walk in downtown Vancouver, Washington, held annually on the weekend after the Shamrock Run. Participants wear festive green for a choice of 1, 3, 7, or 10 miles. The shorter options are accessible to walkers, families, and runners seeking a shorter effort. The 3-mile walk is untimed, and the Lucky Leap 1-mile walk offers participants the same shirt, medal, food, and beverages as longer-distance runners. Why Racing Events hosts the race, which raises money for local charities. The route is mostly flat with a couple of short hills, described as a fast course. The longer courses pass through recognizable Vancouver locations, including historic Officer’s Row, Fort Vancouver, and the Columbia Riverfront. Medals, T-shirts, free beer, pint glasses from Main Event, and a post-race party with downtown Vancouver pubs and breweries are part of the event. Fleet Feet Sports PDX has hosted packet pickup and provided staff and ambassadors on race day, contributing to the event’s local, community-run feel.

The One Sprint Into Spring 5K begins behind the Estacada Fire Station in Oregon. Runners follow a USATF-certified, chip-timed course eligible for official records.

Brentwood’s event is a fun run/walk fundraiser with distinct starts for runners and walkers. The Estacada course covers 5 km with 276 feet of elevation change, featuring an early steep climb, rolling hills through town, and a downhill finish on Broadway. Elgin’s race starts at the Hanover Township Izaak Walton Youth Center and includes walkers, sponsor tables, snacks, beverages, shirts, and medals for top finishers. Proceeds from the Estacada race benefit Parks & Recreation. Elgin’s race funds the Hanover Township Foundation, assisting residents with medical and dental expenses. Brentwood includes a Zumba stretch before its start.
