The Haunted 5K, 10K, & 13.1M is a Halloween-season running event in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. All three races start at 8:30 AM from 799 Pennsylvania Avenue. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon. Each distance follows a repeated out-and-back format. Registration is exclusively through RunSignup; no on-site sign-ups are available. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes prior. The 5K and 10K use a 1.56-mile out-and-back loop, with 5K runners completing it twice and 10K runners completing it four times. The half marathon utilizes a 2.18-mile out-and-back loop, repeated six times. This course design is straightforward but can become mentally repetitive. All distances have a 3-hour, 30-minute time limit, emphasizing pacing more for half marathoners than for shorter race participants.

The Haunted 5K & 13.1M in Raleigh, a US Road Running event, takes place at 9300 Deponie Dr. Both the 5K and half marathon begin at 9:00 AM.

The Mother Earth Brewing Ironclad Half-Marathon & 5k takes place in October in Kinston, North Carolina. It offers a half marathon for those seeking a longer run and a 5k for a shorter run or walk. Mother Earth Brewing is the title sponsor, and Ironclad Races Inc., a Kinston-based nonprofit, organizes the event. The race attracts a local and accessible field, not a massive one: recent half marathon fields have included just over one hundred runners to slightly more than four hundred, while the 5k has drawn from under one hundred to nearly four hundred participants. The event aims to draw runners to Kinston and highlight the city's historic and cultural attractions. Its proceeds support local groups such as HOPE Restorations, Hugo Volunteer Fire Department, Mary’s Soup Kitchen, and other community organizations. The race also ties into local environmental efforts through a partnership with Mother Earth Foundation and Sound Rivers to install a Trash Trap on the Neuse River. This provides the weekend with a distinct small-city character: a race sponsored by a brewery, managed by a nonprofit, with funds and focus remaining within Kinston.

The race course consists of concrete out-and-back loops. The 5K covers the loop twice, and the half marathon completes it six times, creating a contained race format. The park opens at 8:00 AM. Parking is located by the playground on the park's north side, where bathrooms are also situated. Finishers receive medals, and awards are presented. Series points are recorded, and a best costume award is part of the event.

The Martin Marietta City of Oaks Marathon is Raleigh’s hometown running event, held in North Carolina’s capital city in November. The start and finish are in the city center, offering runners four options: the full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K. It is the city’s largest race, with over 7,600 participants and thousands of spectators along the streets. The longer courses go by downtown Raleigh landmarks, including the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts. Martin Marietta’s title sponsorship is visible on the shirts, finisher medals, and mile markers, with the race incorporating mining and rock puns. The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences benefits from the fundraising, with donations supporting local quarry specimens and geology education; dinosaur mascots have even appeared on race day.

The Gobbler 5K, 10K, and 13.1M is a small US Road Running race series in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. All three distances start at 8:30 AM EST. Runners can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, with each distance limited to 40 participants. Packet pickup is available 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes prior, making this a ready-to-go event rather than a large expo.

The Raleigh Greenway Half Marathon is a late-fall half marathon in Raleigh, North Carolina. It starts and finishes at Anderson Point Park, a roughly 90-acre park a few miles east of downtown. The park sits near the meeting point of the Neuse River and Crabtree Creek. The race is open to runners, walkers, and wheelchair competitors. The route is out and back, with an early 3.5-mile section past Carolina Lake before the field returns toward Anderson Point Park and heads for the greenway. After the opening road section around New Hope Road, Poole Road, Old Poole Road, and Trademark Drive, the course turns south through the park and joins the Neuse River Greenway Trail. That trail runs nearly 28 miles overall, with paved path, boardwalk, bridges over rivers and creeks, historic sites, and farm fields along the way. For the rest of the race, runners stay close to the Neuse River, follow the riverbank south to a dirt road near the woods, turn around around mile 9, and retrace the same route back to Anderson Point Park. Organizers plan music along the course, so the race is not just a quiet greenway run.

The Raleigh Holiday Half Marathon is a December road half marathon held in Raleigh, North Carolina, utilizing the Capital Area Greenway System. It attracts approximately 500 to 1,000 participants, positioning it between a small local race and a large city event.

Awards are presented to the top 75 men, top 75 women, and the first-place finisher in each age group beyond the overall winners.
