Gare di 5K vicino a Colton

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.

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.

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 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.

The Redlands Educational Partnership Foundation and Redlands Sunrise Rotary Club are the organizers, with all proceeds benefiting Redlands schools and local charities.

This is a Thanksgiving Day 3-mile fun run or walk on pavement, open to all ages with strollers permitted. The morning begins with registration and check-in, followed by a brief Holiday Warmup Yoga session before the Turkey Trot commences. Adult and youth entries require payment, the Kids Run is free, and local residents receive a small discount with ID at packet pickup. The route winds through the pines, incorporates the Rathbun Creek Trail, and includes a lap around the Moonridge Zoo. The atmosphere leans towards a holiday outing rather than intense competition: families, walkers, runners, children, stroller users, and costumed participants are all part of the event. Open Air Big Bear organizes the event, and the finish line transforms into a Danksgiving Celebration featuring live holiday music, adult beverages, festive aid station refreshments, awards, and a costume contest with prizes.

The Five Star Thanksgiving Turkey Trot is an Atlanta race held on Thanksgiving morning, offering live 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon races, along with virtual options for each distance. The event is intentionally low-cost; runners not qualifying for free entry can register for a small fee, with race-day registration costing slightly more. The race originated from the organizers' decision, two weeks before Thanksgiving, to acknowledge participants from that season's races. This tradition continues: finishers from other Five Star races qualify for one free live 5K entry, though the Turkey Trot itself does not count towards this free spot. Shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals are available as optional purchases, allowing runners to customize their participation.
