Gare di 5K vicino a Claremont

Bubble Run Irvine is a family-friendly foam run at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, California, near Irvine. It follows a relaxed 5K-style format, focusing on participation rather than speed: adults, kids, and people with strollers can run, walk, dance, or play their way across up to 3 miles. Participants typically begin in white T-shirts, allowing the colored foam to create a visual effect by the finish. The course guides participants through Foam Bogs, each containing a different color of 100% safe foam and ample bubbles to coat everyone from head to toe. Staff, known as Bubble-teers, assist in ensuring participants are thoroughly foamed. The event's description likens the experience to moving through Willy Wonka’s factory. Starts are organized in waves, with heats divided into smaller groups, contributing to a day that feels more like a continuous family festival than a standard road race.

The Montebello Heritage 5K/10K is an annual October running event in Montebello, California, offering both 5K and 10K distances. Both races begin at 1301 W. Whittier Boulevard, with the 5K starting at Montebello City Park. The event commences in the morning and is part of the Montebello Heritage Festival. The course follows historic Whittier Boulevard, connecting the race to a central Montebello street. This is a community-focused race, not exclusively for elite runners. The entry fee is the same for both distances, and all participants receive a shirt and medal.

The Boyle Heights 5K Run/Walk is a community race in Los Angeles, starting and finishing at Mariachi Plaza. Participants cover 3.1 miles in the 5K event, which takes place in October with a morning start and late-morning finish. The day includes more than just the main 5K. A Munchkin Run is available for younger children, and a Classic Car Show is part of the gathering, contributing to a neighborhood feel rather than a standard road race. The Mariachi Plaza start and finish locate the race in one of Boyle Heights’ most recognizable public spaces.

C'è questa camminata, la Pink on Parade, per la sensibilizzazione sul tumore al seno, che si tiene a Ryan Bonaminio Park a Riverside, California. È un evento pensato per famiglie, team, sopravvissuti, chi vuole sostenere la causa e anche per chi porta i propri animali domestici. Offrono un percorso da 5K oppure una camminata più corta, la Family Fun walk, di 1.7K, che si fa sempre dentro il parco. Il percorso da 5K, volendo, può includere Mt. Rubidoux ed è strutturato attorno al percorso che si affronta con il cancro. L'opzione più corta invece rende la giornata accessibile anche ai bambini e a chi cammina senza pretese. L'evento serve a onorare i sopravvissuti, ricordare chi non ce l'ha fatta e tutti i proventi vanno a The Pink Ribbon Place, che è un centro di risorse locale per chi è colpito dal cancro, sia individui che famiglie. Poi, oltre ai percorsi, ci sono un padiglione per i sopravvissuti, una 'vendor expo', una 'kids zone', cibo e bevande, un riscaldamento pre-camminata, premi per i team per la raccolta fondi e lo spirito, una competizione per il design di T-shirt, merchandising e anche un raduno di auto d'epoca, con modelli importati e nazionali dagli anni '40 agli anni '80.

Costumes are the first thing you notice at the Rock 'n' Roll Los Angeles Halloween Half Marathon & 5K: runners show up as skeletons, superheroes, rodeo clowns, and stranger things. The race is a road event in Los Angeles, run in October, with a mostly flat half marathon and a shorter 5K for people who want the Halloween crowd without the full 13.1 miles. The half marathon starts and finishes at L.A. Live, near the arena long associated with the Lakers, and uses two out-and-back sections. One leg heads south toward Exposition Park, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and the edge of the USC campus; the other goes north and west through downtown, MacArthur Park, and Koreatown before turning back near the Miracle Mile. Half marathoners get four hours to finish, measured by personal chip time.

Los Muertos 5K starts at 8:00 a.m. on Main Street inside El Pueblo de Los Ángeles Historical Monument, with Olvera Street as the race-day hub in downtown Los Angeles. It is a 5K run/walk tied to Día de los Muertos, so the morning includes face painting before and after the start, bib pickup in the center plaza, and awards later in the morning. Runners can pick up packets ahead of race day at Angel City Brewery or on race morning at Historic Olvera Street, and there is no bag drop, so valuables need to stay with the runner, in the car, or at home. The course leaves the oldest section of Los Angeles, runs through lower Chinatown, turns onto Alameda Street toward Los Angeles State Historic Park, crosses the Los Angeles River, and turns around at 19th Ave. The return gives runners a downtown skyline view before a slight uphill finish back at Olvera Street. Past results and photos are posted online, which gives the event a visible history beyond the current race. Union Station’s Gateway Center Plaza Garage is the main parking option listed for participants, with another garage on Commercial Street close to Olvera Street.

Dino Dash is a Tustin school fundraiser offering running, walking, and cycling options on the same day. Proceeds benefit the Tustin Public Schools Foundation. The event caters to families and racers alike, featuring a 2k fun run, chip-timed 5k and 10k runs, and bike tours for various skill levels, including 15k and 5k family rides. Almost 10,000 participants, including runners, walkers, cyclists, volunteers, and sponsors, attended the last event, demonstrating strong community involvement. The race has a history spanning over thirty years. Its student-created identity contributes to its appeal: a student from Legacy Magnet Academy won the logo competition with a dinosaur carrying companions, a design featured on bibs, shirts, posters, flyers, and social media. The event also provides direct support, with donations covering entry fees for students requiring financial assistance.

Luz y Vida is a Día de los Muertos run/walk in Riverside, California, with 5k, 10k, 15k, and half marathon options from Ryan Bonaminio Park. A Better World Running organizes it, and the setup is low-key: bib pickup happens the morning of the race, all distances start early, and registration includes a custom finisher medal, a drawstring goodie bag, free photos, free videos, posted results, snacks, and samples. The course uses a marked open path shared with pedestrians, runners, and cyclists, so this is not a closed-road race. The 5k is an out-and-back, the 10k repeats that loop twice, the 15k repeats it three times, and the half marathon uses three 4.36-mile loops. Aid is available at the turnaround and start/finish area with water, Gatorade, and Gu gels. Strollers are allowed, dogs are not, and half marathoners get a 3-hour-15-minute limit with early starts available by request.

Run for Freedom covers races with diverse formats: a West Virginia series near Harpers Ferry and an Oakland 5K coinciding with Black History Month. The West Virginia offerings include a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K. The Harpers Ferry Half and 5K take place in May, with a larger Freedom's Run event in October. The Oakland Freedom Run is a 5K run or walk in West Oakland, beginning and ending at Raimondi Park, prioritizing community involvement over competitive timing. The Harpers Ferry race crosses Harpers Ferry National Park. Runner accounts describe the half marathon encountering cold rain and fog at Antietam, contributing to the event's strong Civil War history atmosphere. The Oakland route winds past historic Black Panther Party sites, linking the run to themes of freedom, justice, and health equity. Registration operates on a sliding-scale contribution, with proceeds benefiting the Black Panther Party Alumni Legacy Network's survival programs. The race is accompanied by a free wellness festival providing health screenings, food, massage, therapy, and information from local groups focused on nutrition, exercise, stress management, and preventive care.
