The #AZ48 Half Marathon, 10K & 5K is a flat, fast road race series in Downtown Chandler, Arizona. All three distances start and finish at Dr. A.J. Chandler Park East Stage Plaza. The course is USATF-certified, providing an officially measured route within the downtown area. The route follows the streets around Downtown Chandler, passing local sights and race-day activity before returning to the same plaza for the finish. Every finisher receives a medal.

The Monster Dash 5K, a Halloween-themed 5K and kids' race, takes place in Manito Park on Spokane's South Hill. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes. The event is structured so adults can complete the chip-timed 5K before joining their children for the Kids' Fun Run. The kids' races offer 1-mile, half-mile, and quarter-mile distances. Adults may walk or run with children throughout these shorter courses. Candy goodie bags are provided at the finish line. Bib and shirt pickup is located at the Lower Manito Park Picnic Shelter. All proceeds from the race benefit Active4Youth, a local nonprofit providing free elementary running programs within Spokane Public Schools, West Valley School District, and Central Valley School District.

PB&J Fuel Run is a small private group run centered on the peanut-butter-and-jelly theme, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances. Runners and walkers of all paces are welcome, and younger participants may enter with a guardian. Each wave has a participant limit, so entries close once a wave is full; runners who miss out can join the waitlist or select the virtual option. The format is straightforward: no special equipment is needed, and timing is optional. Participants may record their own time using a watch or phone, or consider it an untimed run with coordinator assistance. The event is designed as a relaxed group outing rather than a competitive race, with local run club invitations extended as part of the sign-up support.

Medal Madness in Phoenix is a morning 5K and 10K starting at 8:00 AM. Participants must register via RunSignup prior to race day, as on-site registration is unavailable. Packet pickup is limited to the 30 minutes before the start until 10 minutes before the start. Both distances share an out-and-back course. The complete out-and-back segment measures 1.56 miles, meaning the 5K covers it twice and the 10K covers it four times. The race has a 2-hour time limit, ensuring a concise event with a simple course layout for both distances.

MUDGIRL Phoenix is a women-only 5K mud run held at Rawhide Western Town. The event focuses on over 17 obstacles rather than a finish-time pursuit. Since there is no timing and runners are not required to complete every obstacle, the event suits first-timers, teams of friends, walkers, and women seeking a muddy challenge without competitive pressure. The course covers about 3 miles, with participants running, walking, climbing, sliding, and crawling through mud. The day also features a MUDGIRL Festival. Start waves occur throughout much of the day, and participants should arrive well before their assigned wave. Parking is available at or near the venue, with different fees for cars and RVs.

This race is part of the Aravaipa Running series, with the start and finish located at the Pass Mountain Trailhead Staging area. The shorter distances offer a straightforward introduction to desert trail running after sunset. The 20K is designed for those looking to progress from a 10K distance. The 30K presents a more challenging option, beginning in the late afternoon for a longer test on Usery’s trails. Precise distances may vary slightly each year due to permitting.

Pass Mountain is a desert trail race held at Usery Mountain Regional Park in Mesa, Arizona. All distances are run entirely on unpaved trails.

The 25K and 50K courses complete a loop around Pass Mountain in Tonto National Forest, the namesake feature of the race. Aid stations are positioned approximately every 3.0 to 8.6 miles, providing water, electrolyte drink, snacks, and fruit. Runners are advised to carry at least one bottle. The event has a field limit of about 400 participants and has been a fixture in Arizona trail racing since 2010.
