Gare di 5K vicino a Chatsworth

Lance's Legacy 5K and Fun Run is a fundraising run in Dalton, Georgia, starting from 652 Haig Mill Lake Road. It offers a 5K and a fun run, with a $30 registration fee for runners supporting the cause. The event is organized by Lance's Legacy, a nonprofit created in memory of Lance Sotelo, a runner from the Dalton and Charlotte running communities who died while out on a run. The race is held on Lance's birthday and raises money for scholarships for high school and college runners. These scholarships are for athletes who show perseverance, acceptance, and love, the qualities his family chose to carry forward through the nonprofit. The day also includes a live DJ, food vendors, inflatables, and awards, structured as both a community fundraiser and a family-friendly race day.

The Apple Festival 5K takes place in Ellijay, Georgia, on the morning of the Georgia Apple Festival. It includes a 5K, a one-mile fun run, and a virtual 5K option. The Ellijay Lions Club organizes this event, which is one of Georgia's longest-running 5Ks. The race details reflect a local event rather than a large-scale production. BT Race Timing manages the results, but chip timing is not used; finishers submit a card with their name, age, bib number, and gender. Awards are given to overall winners, masters, grand masters, and in five-year age groups from 10-and-under up to 80-and-over. Refreshments are available post-race, and free parking is offered around Ellijay Elementary School before festival road closures commence.

Marigold Miles 5K: Día de los Muertos Run is a 5K in Downtown Los Angeles incorporating Day of the Dead traditions. Thousands of families and friends gather to run, walk, and remember departed loved ones. The event supports the Olvera Street Merchants Association Foundation, which funds traditional, historical, cultural, and educational events connected to Olvera Street. The race begins on Main Street within El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, the city's oldest area and Olvera Street's location. The course travels through lower Chinatown and passes Los Angeles State Historic Park. Before the start, traditional Aztec dancers conduct a purification ceremony; around the course, participants paint their faces like skulls and place marigolds, candles, photos, and memorabilia on altars, including an official Community Altar. Following the finish, the festival proceeds with mariachi bands, folkloric dance groups, and stilt walkers, and the top three finishers in each gender category are awarded hand-painted skull trophies.

Il Cleveland Turkey Trot è una gara che si corre la mattina del Giorno del Ringraziamento a Greenway Park, a Cleveland, Tennessee. C'è prima una 5K cronometrata con chip, e subito dopo una 1-mile non competitiva, una sorta di corsa/camminata per divertirsi. L'evento lo organizza Terra Running Company, e le iscrizioni la mattina della gara restano aperte fino a poco prima della partenza. Così, vanno incontro sia a chi partecipa per la festa, in modo più rilassato, sia a chi punta a un tempo ufficiale sulla 5K. Il percorso della 5K parte e arriva a Greenway Park. È un percorso "out-and-back", va a sud sulla Greenway verso Willow Street e poi torna indietro. Hanno spostato l'evento a Greenway Park per gestire più gente, visto che in passato hanno superato i 600 partecipanti. Sul percorso sono ammessi passeggini e cani, ma devono partire dal fondo, dato che ci sono runner che vanno e vengono. C'è anche una raccolta alimentare per la Chattanooga Area Food Bank, che raccoglie donazioni all'interno di Bradley County. La gara mantiene anche una tradizione locale: chi si iscrive presto riceve un berretto di lana (beanie hat), e il primo gruppo a iscriversi prende delle buste premio sigillate da aprire più tardi da Terra Running Company.

Pine Log Possum Trot is a Thanksgiving morning 5K hosted by historic Pine Log United Methodist Church in Rydal, Georgia. It starts and finishes from the church at 3497 Pine Log Rd NE, and the day is designed for families, neighbors, runners, and walkers rather than for a competitive race field. Participants can run, walk, jog, or “wog,” which indicates the mood: the objective is getting out together before the holiday meal, not competing for first place. All proceeds support Hickory Log Personal Care Home, so the event connects a local 5K to a direct benefit for community members.

The Kyle Pease Foundation Blue Ridge Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day race/walk in downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia. It is built for the whole family, with room for walkers, first-timers, and serious competitors on the same holiday-morning start line. The event keeps the schedule simple: get out, move through town, and still make it home in time to put the turkey in the oven. That makes it less like an all-day racing production and more like a local Thanksgiving ritual that can fit before the rest of the family plans.
