The Pocono Mountains Marathon Race Festival is a fall running event held at Promised Land State Park in Greentown, Pennsylvania. The start and finish lines are located at the Upper Lake Overflow Parking Lot. Participants can select from a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon. The marathon is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier, with PA certification number 21011NP. The course winds through the state park during the fall foliage season, offering a wooded Pocono park running experience rather than city streets. Elite Feats organizes the event, and Mark Hughes is the race director. Awards are presented in male, female, and nonbinary categories, with age-group awards for nonbinary runners in the marathon, half marathon, and 10K. First-time half marathon and marathon finishers receive a commemorative plaque alongside their finisher medal. Registration includes a shirt, medal, and running socks.

The Veterans Trail Festival begins and ends at the Recreation Hall in Raccoon Creek State Park, near Hookstown, Pennsylvania. The event features a 5K run/hike and also offers 20-mile and 50K trail races, accommodating walkers, newer trail runners, and ultra runners on the same day. The 5K follows an out-and-back path with a water station at the midpoint. The 20-mile and 50K routes primarily use single-track trails, presenting rocks, roots, challenging footing, and steep inclines, which often lead to the typical finisher comment: “That was harder than I thought it would be.” The longer races include five aid stations and ham radio tracking. The event benefits veteran and military service members via the Outdoor Immersion Team; 5K participants can also engage in fundraising.

Allora, l'Oglebay Twinkle Trot 5K è una corsa notturna a tema natalizio che fanno lì a Oglebay, a Wheeling, West Virginia, proprio quando c'è il loro Festival of Lights. Partenza e arrivo sono la sera, su Camp Russell Lane, vicino allo zoo, e ci sono sia runner che camminatori. Il cronometraggio con chip lo fa Wolf Creek Race Management, ma è un evento super aperto, ci sono un sacco di tipi di partecipanti: dai runner esperti ai principianti, poi jogger, camminatori, bambini e anche ospiti speciali. Il percorso ti porta in mezzo a tutte le installazioni luminose di Oglebay, con milioni di luci, scene a tema e musica natalizia. Tutti devono avere una luce personale addosso o da portare, per essere ben visibili. Molti runner poi si addobbano i vestiti con luci e temi invernali. Ah, e poi ci sono iscrizioni, ritiro pettorali, un DJ, attività per i bambini, parcheggio gratis e bagni sia alla partenza che all'arrivo. Insomma, è proprio un'uscita di festa per tutta la famiglia.
