コーバリス, OR周辺の10Kレース

Tricky Treater is an October 5K and 10K held in Alton Baker Park in Eugene, Oregon. From the start, it's a Halloween event: runners are encouraged to race in costume, with prizes for the best outfits. The event begins in the evening, offers the same base price for both distances, and provides a registration discount for runners 17 and under. Awards are given three deep in age groups from 10 and under through 80 and over, catering to families, regular local runners, and older competitors, as well as those primarily interested in the costume aspect. The course includes a small variation that distinguishes it from a typical park loop. In the 5K, runners decide whether to proceed clockwise or counter-clockwise, diverging after a gravel straight onto either the left path or straight onto Day Island Road, then encountering other participants going the opposite direction midway. The 10K follows the 5K loop twice, with participants running in opposite directions on each lap and selecting their initial direction. Volunteers distribute candy along the route in exchange for a trick, aid-station tricks are eligible for prizes, costume voting occurs by writing bib numbers on a board near the results tent, and Halloween-themed refreshments are available at the finish.

The Eola Hills "No Hills" 5K/10K is a road race held in November in Rickreall, Oregon, offering both 5K and 10K distances. The start is located at 501 S Pacific Hwy W, grounding the event in small-town Polk County rather than a large metropolitan area. The name highlights the primary appeal: participants can select a short or long distance without facing a demanding uphill course. While public race listings provide limited course specifics, one participant gave both the course and organization a perfect 5.0 rating, describing it as a race they greatly enjoyed.

Run to Stay Warm begins and ends at Downtown Riverfront Park in Eugene. The half marathon starts first, followed soon after by the 5K and 10K. This event is designed for cold-weather runners and walkers, with the main distances sharing a common start area. A free kids race is held before the longer events, allowing families to participate together without everyone needing to enter a full-distance race. The kids course is a short, approximately 400-meter out-and-back along the river path. Half marathoners have access to pacers from 1:30 to 2:30, in 10-minute increments, making the race suitable for those aiming for a specific finish time. Participants in the half marathon, 10K, and 5K receive a chip-timed bib, a Run to Stay Warm beanie, and a finisher medal. Each registration includes a donation to the EWEB Customer Care program. Post-race, runners can enjoy beer from Viking Brewing (for those 21+), coffee from Palace Bakery, hot cider from Alpine Cider, and grilled cheese and snacks from Franz Bakery. Awards are presented to overall, masters, and age-group winners across the main distances.

The Ann Arbor Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day fun run and walk in Ann Arbor, Michigan, featuring a 5K and a non-timed Tot Trot 1K. The 5K is chip-timed, provides official results and award eligibility, and is suitable for families as well as runners aiming for a specific time. The 1K offers younger children their own short race, ensuring the morning is inclusive for all ages and running abilities. The event embraces the holiday spirit: participants often wear costumes, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies at the finish, and can take photos with Turkey Tom and Santa. Runners, walkers, and crawlers are welcome, reflecting the day's relaxed atmosphere. Each entry includes a finisher medal, and a portion of the entry fee benefits the ChadTough Foundation, with options for additional donations during registration.

The Holiday Sweater Stroll is a Sunday race at noon held at Alton Baker Dog Park in Eugene, Oregon, offering 5K and 10K distances. The 10K involves running the 5K course two times. Registration is divided into youth (ages 17 and under) and adult (ages 18 and over) categories, with reduced pricing for youth. The distinctive feature is the holiday sweater theme: participants are encouraged to wear any holiday sweater. Other attendees vote on the sweaters, with the top three receiving gift cards to Human Bean. The event combines a run with a casual holiday sweater competition. William Wyckoff is the event contact.

The St. Patrick's Spring Fling Trail Run is a March race held at Alsea Falls in Oregon, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. Starts are staggered in the morning, with the half marathon beginning first, followed by the 10K, and then the 5K. Packet pickup begins after 8:00 a.m., and the 5K is limited to 50 runners. The half marathon provides an early start for walkers and slower runners needing more time to reach the mid-course cutoff. Participants unsure about reaching the checkpoint near mile 7 by 12:30 p.m. should request this early start on race day. Volunteers assisting with parking or registration receive a free race entry, sweep runners get an entry to the Marys Peak Trail Run, and a pint glass is included with each registration.
