La Oktoberfest 5K/10K and Kids Run parte da KC Running Company su East 135th Street nella storica Martin City, Missouri, nell'area di Kansas City. Questa gara autunnale ti dà la possibilità di scegliere tra la 5K o la 10K (sia corsa che camminata), più una Kids Fun Run e l'opzione di partecipare virtualmente per chi vuole la medaglia ma senza l'impegno di essere sul percorso. L'evento è pensato per tutti: chi cerca un 10K veloce, chi vuole fare la 5K camminando, e i bambini nella loro corsetta divertente, tutti possono partecipare alla stessa giornata. Il percorso si snoda per le strade intorno a Martin City, con tracciati ben definiti per la 5K e la 10K. Il tema Oktoberfest è proprio integrato nelle attività della giornata, non è solo un nome. Dopo la gara, si può rimanere per musica, cibo e bevande. Ci sono anche degli extra opzionali, tipo una tazza o una maglietta dell'evento. Tutti quelli che tagliano il traguardo ricevono una medaglia personalizzata, mentre i bambini, con l'iscrizione, avranno maglietta e medaglia. I premi vanno ai vincitori assoluti, ai vincitori masters e ai primi tre uomini e donne in ogni categoria d'età, da 10 and under fino a 80-plus.

Tour de Trail: Cedar Niles is a 10K trail run at Cedar Niles in Olathe, Kansas, part of a six-race Tour de Trail series across the Kansas City area. The distance is flexible, typically near 10K, with the actual course ranging from 5.5 to 6.5 miles based on the trail system and conditions. Runners and hikers are welcome; all participants have four hours to complete the course. The event uses clock timing, posts results on UltraSignup, and provides minimal aid with water only, requiring entrants to bring their own cup. The series showcases KC-area trail systems, with each stage at a different location. Cedar Niles hosts this particular stop, but rain may necessitate an alternate route using cross country, paved trail, or a combination. A single entry costs $50, with $5 donated to Urban Trail Co. Race-day registration incurs a higher fee, and a discount is available for those registering for all six stages before the deadline. Completing all six races earns a special series finisher award, emphasizing the full challenge over just the bundle registration.

Miola Madness - Fall Edition is a timed running event at Miola Lake in Paola, Kansas, using a roughly 6-mile crushed limestone loop. Runners can select 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours to complete as many loops as possible, or enter the 10K for a fixed-distance option. All races begin and end at the boat ramp trail head, which also functions as the Race Hub. The loop keeps runners near crew support and aid, with one main stocked aid station and a second fluids-only station on the course. The Race Hub offers restrooms, crew access, a nearby dog park, and beach access a short drive away. The 10K is a new distance with inaugural records to be set, and anyone who sets or breaks a record receives a record setter sign. This is the third race in the three-event Miola Madness Series, and it proceeds in any weather.

The Gobbler Grind is a road race in Johnson County, Kansas, held annually on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Participants can choose from four distances: a marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K.

It is a Boston Qualifier and a 50 State Marathon Club certified race, attracting marathon collectors and local runners from Kansas and Missouri.
