Snack Town RunFest takes place in Hanover, Pennsylvania, offering several distances rather than a single main event. The available races include a chip-timed half marathon, 10K, and 5K, along with a 5K Corporate Challenge and a Kids Fun Run for participants aged 4 to 12. The event occurs in early October, organized by the Hanover Area YMCA and supported by partners Utz Brands, Inc. and WellSpan Health. The half marathon covers approximately 13.11 miles on a single-loop course, and the 5K is about 3.11 miles, also on a single loop. This format attracts a variety of participants: half marathoners, shorter-distance runners, corporate teams, families, and children who can race themselves instead of just observing. A local tradition is the Beer Bash on George, featuring craft breweries as part of the post-race activities.

Registration must be completed online via RunSignup prior to race day; no on-site registration is available. Packet pickup is available in a brief pre-race window, opening 30 minutes before the start and closing 10 minutes prior. The course features a short out-and-back segment. 5K participants complete this segment twice, while 10K participants complete it four times. A two-hour course time limit is in effect.

Awards will be presented, and runners can accumulate series points. A best costume award provides a festive Thanksgiving-season element.

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.
