The Reservoir Dogs Trail Run is an October trail race held at San Pablo Reservoir, located near Orinda in the East Bay. All race distances commence and conclude at the San Pablo Reservoir Visitor Center. Participants can select from 5K, 10K, half marathon, or 35K distances. The event has a participant cap of approximately 300 individuals across all races. Inside Trail Racing organizes this event. The longer distances feature a 6.5-hour time limit, maintaining the structure of a genuine trail race as opposed to a casual reservoir run. The course's distinctive feature is its complete circuit around Briones Reservoir using EBMUD trails, incorporating segments typically accessible only with permits. Expect a mix of moderately technical dirt paths, open fire roads, undulating hills, wooded single-track, winding single and double-track sections, exposed ridgelines, and expansive vistas of the watershed. The 10K, half marathon, and 35K races involve less elevation gain compared to many other Inside Trail events, allowing for faster times while still providing road runners with a true trail challenge. Aid stations are equipped with gels, trail mix, salty snacks, fruit, Coke, and Stroopwafels; however, participants must carry their own water between stations. Finishers receive a tech shirt and a medal, age-group victors are awarded trophies, and one participant receives the unique "Dead Last Finisher" award. Notably, dogs are prohibited despite the race's name.

Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Run sends runners onto the Coastal Trail with a pumpkin waiting for them at the end. It is a race weekend event in Half Moon Bay, California, tied to the Annual Art & Pumpkin Festival, with a Kid's Fun Run, 5K, 10K, and half marathon based around Hatch Elementary School and the Pacific-side trail. Senior Coastsiders hosts it, and the proceeds support programs for local older adults. The route follows coastal paths overlooking the ocean, with rolling but generally fast, flat terrain that works for beginners, fun runners, and people chasing a personal best. The half marathon starts early and has a 3.5-hour cutoff, while the 5K and longer races include chip timing and finisher medals unless runners opt out. The festival side adds the Great Pumpkin Parade, live music, pie-eating contests, costume contests, giant pumpkin displays, and free admission on historic Main Street in the self-styled World Pumpkin Capital.

The PB&J Fuel Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN FRANCISCO is a running event in San Francisco offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances.

Participants are encouraged to "spread the fun" and approach the day with "no stress, no expectations," running at their own pace. While specific route details are not provided, the race emphasizes feel-good miles, a satisfying finish, and the concept of running your own way.

La Halloween Trick or Trot Run è una gara di Halloween per piccoli gruppi a Crissy Field a San Francisco, con opzioni di 5K, 10K, half marathon e una 1-mile Family Fun Run. Le partenze sono a ondate e iniziano al mattino, e ogni ondata ha un numero massimo di partecipanti, quindi le iscrizioni potrebbero chiudere una volta che un'ondata è piena. È pensata per runner e camminatori di tutti i ritmi, e i partecipanti sotto i 18 anni sono ammessi se accompagnati da un adulto. I dettagli del percorso li danno ai partecipanti prima del giorno della gara. L'organizzazione è semplice: niente ritiro pacco gara, i pettorali li danno il giorno stesso, e l'eventuale merchandise lo spediscono a casa agli iscritti negli U.S. Il cronometraggio è facoltativo, senza chip; i runner possono monitorarsi da soli con un'app e caricare il risultato per la pubblicazione online e un certificato. Chi arriva al traguardo riceve una medaglia, un asciugamano o qualcosa di simile, e caramelle di Halloween dopo la corsa. Chi non è riuscito a iscriversi può mettersi in lista d'attesa oppure scegliere l'opzione virtuale per fare la distanza da remoto.

The Golden Gate Half Marathon & 5K is a Sunday race in San Francisco with the bridge at the center of the day. Runners choose between a half marathon and a 5K, with the shorter distance open to both runners and walkers and aimed at a wide range of abilities. The half marathon crosses the Golden Gate Bridge twice, giving runners long looks at the bay, Alcatraz, and San Francisco from one of the city’s most famous landmarks. The event draws runners from around the world, uses the hashtag #RunTheBridge, and is tied to the Bay Area running community as much as to the bridge itself.

The Veterans Day Freedom Run in San Francisco is a road run at Crissy Field, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances. It is centered on Veterans Day gratitude, allowing participants to run or walk without the pressure of a competitive race. Waves are capped and may sell out; a waitlist and virtual option are available when in-person spots are full. The event accommodates all paces and ages, with participants under 18 requiring a guardian. Timing is optional; runners may use an app to track and submit results online, or seek assistance from coordinators, as there are no timing chips. Participants can fundraise for a chosen charity, with all net proceeds directed to that cause. Included with registration are a running shirt for U.S. participants, a finisher medal, a towel or giveaway item, a digital training pack, online results, a completion certificate, and an invitation to local running clubs.

Il Zoom Turkey Trot è il giorno del Thanksgiving, si parte la mattina da Hellyer County Park a San Jose. Si corre sul Coyote Creek Trail, e il Buena Vista Pavilion sarà il centro della gara. Ci sono la 5K, la 10K e una half marathon certificata USATF. Per i bambini fino a 6 anni c'è anche una Kids Run gratuita di 50-yard. Le partenze sono scaglionate durante la mattinata: prima la Kids Run, poi la half marathon, la 10K e infine la 5K. Ci sono categorie di iscrizione separate per la 5K e la 10K per i runner più giovani, così l'evento è perfetto sia per le famiglie che per gli adulti che cercano una corsa un po' più lunga per la festa. Il percorso è quasi tutto piatto, ben segnalato e quasi interamente asfaltato. La 5K e la 10K restano sull'asfalto, mentre la half marathon ha un breve tratto di single track. I ristori sono ogni 2 to 4 miles e trovi frutta, snack salati, caramelle, acqua e bevande elettrolitiche. La gara è cupless, quindi i runner devono portarsi la loro borraccia o bicchiere. Tra le regole del percorso: si sorpassa a sinistra avvisando, cuffie vietate su single track, incroci stradali, ai ristori e al traguardo. E niente cani sul percorso. Tutti i partecipanti ricevono una medaglia personalizzata, chi si iscrive in anticipo ha la maglietta, e ci sono premi di categoria per i primi tre di ogni fascia d'età. I primi tre uomini e le prime tre donne di ogni distanza ricevono premi e crediti per altre gare. E c'è anche un premio speciale per il Thanksgiving: puoi vincere un tacchino!

Summit Rock is an early-winter trail race in Sanborn County Park, just outside Saratoga in Northern California’s Santa Cruz Mountains. The series offers a half marathon, 10K, and 5K on forested terrain, with pines, redwoods, oak trees, and miles of single-track trail inside a park of more than 3,600 acres. It is a timed race with electronic chip timing, but walkers and hikers are welcome too, so the field is not limited to runners chasing a fast finish. The half marathon and 10K climb toward peaks, while every distance uses narrow trail under the tree canopy. The terrain is challenging, with enough climbing and descending that new trail runners are encouraged to walk the hills and save energy for flatter or downhill sections. More experienced runners get a tougher mountain-route outing close to Silicon Valley, San Jose, and San Francisco, and all finishers receive custom medals. The race takes its name from Summit Rock, the park peak tied to the event.

Jingle All the Way: A Merry Christmas Run is a holiday race series in San Francisco offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances.

The event is scheduled before Christmas celebrations, encouraging families and friends to gather. The theme focuses on Christmas values like spreading love, selfless giving, and enjoying time with others. The 5K, 10K, and half-marathon registrations include an eco-registration option for participants who prefer not to receive a shirt.
