The Raptor 5K utilizes Lake Lure Classical Academy’s cross-country course, making it a school-based trail race rather than a road 5K with some dirt sections. It takes place in October in Lake Lure, North Carolina. The 5K trail run begins at the academy, and a shorter fun run shares the same finish area. This race is part of the ROC Race Series and provides outdoor recreation and adventure equipment for LLCA students in 4th grade and older. The 5K course winds through sections of the LLCA campus, Dittmer-Watts Nature Trails, and the Lake Lure Greenspace. Its technical footing is substantial enough that pets and strollers are prohibited. Age groups range from young children to over 70, with a reduced entry rate for runners aged 18 and under. The field is designed for families, students, and local trail runners. The event was initially planned for an earlier date but had a previous edition canceled due to Hurricane Helene, leading to its first running being part race day and part a community restart for the school.

Run for Outreach combines the Tryon Half Marathon and the Fall for the Foothills 5K at Tryon International, a large equestrian property in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The half marathon covers 13.1 miles and the 5K covers 5 kilometers. Both races function as a fundraiser for Outreach and are presented by Ashworth Financial. It is a fall event with a small-field atmosphere; the most recent race had 52 runners in the half marathon and 21 in the 5K. The half marathon course consists mostly of packed dirt and gravel, offering a softer surface than a road race without being a full trail run. The route runs alongside a river and through Tryon's horse country, with Tryon International's arenas, stables, riding trails, and open grounds defining the setting. Participants who have returned for the race often mention the post-race breakfast, which includes muffins, bagels, hot egg casseroles, and fruit. The race organizers have also noted the venue's 1,600-plus acres as space for potential route adjustments, an expanded committee, and a possible fun run.
