The Race for Space 5K/10K designation applies to short road races held at actual space facilities, distinct from typical city-street running events. New Mexico’s Space Race takes place at Spaceport America, the first commercial spaceport globally, offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances. Florida’s ACS Gateway to Space 5K/10K is conducted at Kennedy Space Center on the Launch and Landing Facility, previously known as the Shuttle Landing Facility. Houston’s Angels’ Race for Space is a 5K/10K event based at Space Center Houston. The most notable aspect is the location: at Kennedy, participants run on a course within the same facility where shuttle history remains evident, marked by landing traces from previous shuttle missions. The Houston race supports a charitable cause, benefiting Be An Angel, an organization assisting children with special needs since 1986. It also commemorates Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham, connecting the local run to NASA history and a children's cause. The Spaceport America event highlights the commercial space aspect, providing runners a unique opportunity to race within a site designed for private spaceflight, rather than a conventional park or downtown circuit.

Run/Walk for a Hunger Free World is a 5K run-or-walk event in Plano, Texas, held at Red Tail Pavilion, 2801 E Spring Creek Parkway.

The published materials emphasize hunger relief, with each mile contributing to meals for people facing food insecurity.

The TXFallenPD Tribute Event is a community race day at Doubletree Ranch Park in Highland Village, Texas, featuring a 5K run and honor bike events.

The event includes a civilian Honor Ride, a police or first responder Honor Bike Race/Ride, and a kids ride with a cop, offering more than a standard road race. Proceeds benefit the Texas Police Chiefs Association Foundation, providing financial aid to families of Texas officers killed in service. The event has raised over half a million dollars for the Fallen Officer Fund. The day also includes vendors, live music, yard games, food, drinks, and a kid zone, creating a local fundraiser atmosphere centered on races and rides.

Dirt Circus Dallas is a free trail-running festival in Flower Mound, Texas, centered on a casual 5K group run on nearby trails. It functions more as a community gathering than a traditional race; participants can run, observe, converse with race organizers, and immerse themselves in the local trail environment. The event convenes local races, run clubs, running shops, coaches, brands, and vendors, featuring an expo alongside the run. The schedule also features a spectator-friendly local elite exhibition run, a trail film screening, discussions with local outdoor specialists, breakfast and lunch, and a social gathering at a brewery. UltraSignup characterizes the series as a real-world extension of its platform, enabling runners and race directors to connect in person and exchange insights on races, locations, and trails.

At Paws Colinas 5K-9, each runner may bring one dog. Dogs are sorted into small and large registration groups based on the 25-pound mark. This annual October 5K run/walk takes place in Las Colinas, Irving. It is presented by the Las Colinas Association and the Irving Marathon Running Series. The event is designed for dog-and-owner teams, but individuals can also participate without a dog. A virtual race option is available for remote participation. Dogs require current tags, proof of rabies vaccination, and a standard six-foot non-retractable leash. The course winds through the Las Colinas Urban Center and incorporates the shaded Campion Trail, offering a mixed neighborhood-and-trail experience rather than a road-only 5K. A recent running of the event attracted over 400 participants with their dogs. Following the race, activities continue the dog-centric theme with a pup-and-human costume contest, participant giveaways, dog treats from The Pet Treat Truck, a live DJ, and emcee Sybil Summers. Food and beverages are provided by Hospitality Alliance and Reservoir at Toyota Music Factory. Sponsor booths have previously featured a water station from HotWorx and pet insurance details from Goosehead Insurance. The Irving Marathon Running Series aims to promote year-round activity for local runners through various events.
