The 5K route runs inside Richardson Farm’s corn maze, described as the World’s Largest Corn Maze. The path is marked but includes numerous turns, offering a puzzle-like experience rather than a typical road race.

The Truly Lit 5K Series - Schaumburg is a run/walk event held at Busse Woods Grove 28 in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, near Golf Road and Ring Road. Its unique format is the main draw: four distinct 5K races are scheduled on the same Saturday morning, allowing participants to run or walk a single timed 5K or attempt all four consecutively. The course is a road 5K, with all races starting from the same Busse Woods grove. Registration covers a race bib, timing, one series shirt, a finisher medal for each 5K, and age-group awards and prizes for each race. The post-race amenities align with the Truly theme: snacks, music, and two beverages, offering hard seltzer or beer for those 21 and older, and root beer as the non-alcoholic choice.

The Haunted Highlander Assault Trail Run is a Halloween-season 5K trail event using timed heats, with starts from early evening through 10:00 p.m. Participants can run, walk, or ruck, so the field is not limited to those chasing a fast road-race time. The trail is part race course and part haunted attraction, with sets, animatronics, and live actors along the route. After the 5K, people stay for a costume contest, bonfire, live entertainment, and food. Spectators pay a $10 fee, children 3 and under watch free, and parking is free.

A Spooktacular 5K - Trick or Trunk is a Halloween-themed 5K run/walk at Campus Park in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.

It is a Glow Run and a night race; runners should wear lights, bright colors, and costumes. The course follows paved trails within the park, with parking available on the grounds and race-day packet pickup before the start. The event is set up for both adults and kids: awards are given to the top three male and female finishers, age-group winners are recognized in five-year brackets starting at age 10, and there is also a 9-and-under category. The Halloween theme is integrated, with adult and child costume contest winners selected separately. The referral system allows runners to earn registration credit by inviting friends to the 5K.

The Howl-o-ween 5K is a chip-timed 5K run or walk held at Busse Woods Grove 27 in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, near Schaumburg. This Halloween-themed event includes both pets and people: runners and walkers can bring a dog, and dogs do not require separate registration. J3 Timing manages the scoring, with live results available post-race. The route takes place in Busse Woods, offering a park outing feel rather than a competitive road race. The event supports animal shelters and charities, accounting for the dog-friendly nature and treats for participants, both human and canine. Standard 5K registration provides a short sleeve shirt, chip-timed bib, finisher medal, and race entry. A virtual option is also available for those unable to attend.
