The ERS Season Pass is a trail-running registration package for Endurance Race Series events in the Colorado and San Diego areas. It functions as a season-long VIP pass: runners register for every ERS race in their selected market through a single transaction and package price, rather than entering each event individually. The Half Marathon Package is priced at $400 and includes six Southern California races: Carmel Valley 10 Mile, Black Mtn Half, Dixon Lake 10 Mile, Del Dios Half, SPV Half, and Coast to Crest 10K. Pass holders receive a VIP goodie bag, and participants completing five of the six races earn a Season Pass medal and an ERS-branded gift. The package also includes entry into the Legacy Program and the Championship Series, making it suitable for individuals intending to compete in the entire series rather than just one race.

Cahuilla Rez Ultra offers multiple trail and road running distances on the Cahuilla Indian Reservation in Anza, California. Options include a Tribal Member 5k and half marathon, plus 6-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour, and 100-mile formats. This event takes place in a mountain desert environment and benefits the Cahuilla Band of Indians, with all proceeds after operational costs directed to the tribe's Youth and Family Committee. The race incorporates cultural and educational components about the Cahuilla people, connecting the event directly to the reservation. The primary ultra course is a 2-mile loop on a double-track dirt road, with approximately 170 feet of elevation gain per lap, totaling around 8,500 feet over 100 miles. The half marathon course covers 13 miles on reservation roads, featuring about 1,500 feet of climb and four aid stations. A main aid station at the softball field provides hot and substantial food choices, along with access to permanent restroom facilities. Camping and crew support are available for longer races, including tent camping on the softball field, car camping in a nearby dirt lot, and limited free RV spots. Participants completing 100 miles receive a buckle, all finishers get a medal, top finishers are awarded handcrafted prizes, and the Tribal Member 5k offers a buckle instead of a shirt.

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.

The Turkey Trot on The Ranch, held in Rancho Mission Viejo, California, offers a 10K, 5K, and a 1K for younger participants on Thanksgiving Day.

The O'side Turkey Trot takes place on Thanksgiving morning in Oceanside, California, offering 5K run and walk options alongside children's races. The 5K begins on North Coast Highway and concludes at The Strand and Seagaze, adjacent to the oceanfront amphitheater. As Southern California's largest Turkey Trot, it attracts participants from 46 states and over 500 cities. The schedule is designed for families and returning participants, featuring an early 5K wave, a main 5K wave, a 5K walk, a kids' mile, and a shorter kids' dash. The 5K course is largely flat and net downhill, providing a fast route with the final mile along the boardwalk. GPS watches may register slightly less than the official distance, with many runners recording approximately 3.07 to 3.09 miles, making it a quick race but not always ideal for personal records based on recorded data. The event includes a costume contest, a large teams competition, live entertainment, participant shirts, finisher medals, complimentary photos, and live results. It also supports the Jacobs and Cushman San Diego Food Bank, North County schools, and local nonprofits, having raised over $500,000 in the last two decades. Parking in Oceanside can be limited, particularly for the main 5K wave, though the early wave generally offers more accessible parking.

Participation and tax-deductible donations support education for local students and the broader community, with outreach focused on hope, awareness, prevention, and the message to “stay in the game” and play for life.
