Allora, c'è questa Scaredy Cat K95K, una 5K tra camminata e corsa, perfetta per la stagione di Halloween. Si fa con i vostri cani, alla Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine della Tufts University, a North Grafton, Massachusetts. La gara, quella in presenza, parte dal campus center su Westboro Road; tutti i ritmi sono i benvenuti, sia che tu cammini, corra, venga con la famiglia, in squadra o da solo con il tuo amico a quattro zampe. E mi raccomando, venite in costume! Per i cani che partecipano all'evento sul campus, serve il certificato di vaccinazione antirabbica aggiornato, e solo loro possono prendere parte alla prova specifica per gli animali. L'evento, poi, è super importante perché supporta la cura veterinaria e il benessere degli animali. I soldi raccolti vanno a MVMA Charities, che finanzia le cure d'emergenza per animali abbandonati o randagi in Massachusetts, e al Travis Fund della Tufts University, che aiuta a curare animali trovati e animali domestici i cui padroni non riescono a coprire le spese veterinarie. Dopo la 5K, ci sarà una fiera dedicata a salute e fitness, con musica, bancarelle locali e dimostrazioni cinofile, e non mancherà un premio per il cucciolo più stiloso! C'è anche l'opzione di fare una 5K virtuale per tutto ottobre, così chi ha animali che non possono venire al campus può comunque partecipare.

The Monson Memorial Classic offers a hilly half marathon and a 5K in Monson, Massachusetts. Both races conclude at Memorial Hall on Main Street, located in the town’s historic district. Held annually in late October on a USATF-certified road course, the half marathon begins at noon, with the 5K starting 15 minutes later. This is a smaller event, typically attracting 100 to 500 participants, giving it the feel of a local New England race day rather than a large urban event. The race was established to honor sisters Kathy Waldron Perry and Kelly Waldron, who passed away from cancer within months of each other. Proceeds benefit cancer-related charities, presently Griffin’s Friends, which supports children undergoing treatment for pediatric cancer. The half marathon route follows rolling rural roads and town streets. Participants face sustained climbs for approximately the first 10 miles, followed by a long downhill stretch in the final 5K. Regular participants often mention the "nasty vert" and the rewarding descent near the finish. The course is also recognized as a Boston Marathon qualifier. Late October weather in Monson can be cool, with average high temperatures around 55°F and lows near 35°F. Participants can expect about seven aid stations, course volunteers, finisher medals, long-sleeve tech shirts, and cash prizes for the top five finishers. The post-race atmosphere is notably intimate, featuring bagpipes, live music, massage services, and homemade food served by volunteers.
