Proceeds benefit Easterseals Central Illinois and the campers at Timber Pointe Outdoor Center, which provides adventure-based programs focused on independence and inclusion for children with developmental delays, disabilities, and other special needs.

The Poker Run 5K is a timed 5K race in North Port, Florida. It begins at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, located near I-75. This event is structured as a Texas Hold'em-style run, benefiting the Imagine North Port Cross Country and Track & Field Sharks. Net proceeds will be directed to the team's booster account. Participation is open to all, but individuals must be 21 years or older to engage in the poker aspect of the run. The course guides participants from the park to a water stop and poker table situated mid-race. Here, runners collect two playing cards before continuing the 3.1-mile route back to the finish. Prior poker experience is not required; participants simply collect their cards and submit them at check-in, where they will be stapled to their name. The participant with the best poker hand will receive a gift card and medal. The participant with the worst hand will also receive a prize. In the event of a tie, the faster runner will be declared the winner. Standard race awards will be presented to overall, masters, veteran, and age-group finishers. The finish medal is designed as a 3-inch poker chip. Post-race refreshments include hot dogs, chips, and snack bars.

The series includes the main 5K, a Virtual Flamingo 5K for those who want the swag without attending in person, and the Flock Cancer 1 Mile Frolick for a shorter group option. The route stays on the beach, offering sand, Gulf views, photos, and a relaxed Southwest Florida running crowd. Seasoned runners, casual joggers, walkers, and first-timers are welcome. The event is an annual Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser, honoring those fighting breast cancer, survivors, and those remembered by family and friends.

The Haunted 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon at Heritage Harbor Park in Bradenton, Florida, offers four running distances on the same morning, all themed for Halloween. All races begin at 8:00 AM. Runners must register in advance via RunSignup and collect their packets just before the event; no registration is available on race day. The event's layout is functional and contained, with parking near the playground in the expansive lot and a six-hour time limit for all distances. The races feature short, repeated out-and-back courses, meaning participants will traverse the same section multiple times rather than completing a single, extended loop. The 5K consists of one 3.11-mile out-and-back segment. The 10K covers this segment twice. The half marathon utilizes a 3.28-mile out-and-back course four times, and the marathon repeats this same route eight times. All finishers earn medals, and costume awards complement the Haunted theme. The event also contributes to series points for participants in the broader race series.

Behind Their Smile for 22TOOMANY is a morning 5K run/walk at 5851 Nathan Benderson Circle in Sarasota, Florida, starting at 8:00 AM EDT. The event raises funds for 22 Too Many, a charity dedicated to public awareness of PTS, suicide prevention, and support for families who have lost someone to suicide. The race’s message stems from the idea that everyone has a story behind their smile. The charity remembers veterans and others lost to suicide. The event highlights the reported figure of about 22 veterans taking their own lives daily, and also notes that suicide impacts the broader U.S. adult population. The 5K entry fee is $50, positioning this as a focused run/walk for a cause, not a competition centered on course records or elite athletes.

The Florida Halloween Distance Classic takes place at Fort De Soto Park on Florida's Gulf coast, a short drive from downtown St. Petersburg. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, or 5K, with early starts on a fast, flat road course. Costumes are encouraged but not required, and a costume contest with prizes is part of the event, accommodating both runners aiming for fast times and those in creative Halloween attire. All three races begin and end at North Beach within Fort De Soto Park. The course is an out-and-back route along park roads and trails through wooded areas, proceeding towards the island's southern tip and its easternmost point. Runners will encounter sections with white-sand beaches and water views, and minimal vehicle traffic allows for an open course time limit. The half marathon follows the same path as the Florida Beach Halfathon, and previous years have seen over a thousand finishers across all race distances.

A virtual option allows skaters to select distances of 42k, 25k, 21k, 13k, 10k, or 5k. Mike Mason founded the event with a group of dedicated inline skaters, and it rapidly became Florida's largest skate race and one of the larger skate races in the United States. It is also an Associated Race of the World Inline Cup, marking the return of that circuit to the U.S. after a significant absence.
