The Run for Freedom 5K & Fun Run is part of the Freedom's Run Race Series in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. The series includes the Harper's Ferry Half & 5K, the October Freedom's Run event, and Camp River Runners, with race distances from a kids' mile to a full marathon.

The organizers note the events helped start a local running boom, providing residents with more ways to stay active and drawing runners through the Eastern Panhandle and neighboring communities.

The North Augusta Hardest & Funnest 5K takes runners on four short loops starting at 100 North Main Street in North Augusta, South Carolina, as part of the Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee. This Halloween-season 5K offers a solo run/walk, a relay for teams up to four, and a Kids Run for younger participants. The course deviates from a standard 5K: each 0.75-mile lap features a 100-foot challenge lane. The first lap requires lunges, the second a bear crawl, the third burpee broad jumps, and the final lap is a sprint to the finish. The relay allows a team to divide the distance, and the Kids Run provides a shorter version for children. Registration provides a custom race shirt and a finisher award, with additional awards presented after the kids' race.

Palmetto Peach Half Marathon, 10K i 5K startuje z SRP Park w North Augusta, South Carolina. Półmaraton rusza o 8:00 rano, a po nim 10K i 5K.

Wszystkie biegi – Augusta Half Marathon, 10K i 5K – mają start i metę na Augusta University’s Summerville Campus, tuż obok Grover C. Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre. Ten coroczny bieg uliczny odbywa się w Augusta, Georgia. Najpierw startuje half marathon, a potem 10K i 5K. Możesz wybrać bieg na 13.1 mil, 10K, 5K albo opcję wirtualną. Dla dzieciaków z przedszkola do trzeciej klasy jest też darmowy Youth Fun Run. Trasy są certyfikowane przez USATF, co gwarantuje dokładny pomiar dystansu. Każdy bieg kwalifikuje też do AJC Peachtree Road Race. Imprezę organizuje Augusta Sports Council, a sponsorem głównym jest Georgia Carolina Orthopedics. Dochód z imprezy wspiera lokalne inicjatywy sportowe rady oraz G.A.M.E.S. Scholarship Fund, który co roku w maju przyznaje stypendia wybranym sportowcom-absolwentom szkół średnich. Rada powstała z inicjatywy wolontariuszy z Augusty, którzy chcieli zwiększyć liczbę lokalnych wydarzeń sportowych, i od tego czasu pomogła stworzyć, przyciągnąć lub wesprzeć setki imprez dla społeczności.

Heart & Sole 5K startuje i kończy się przy The Children's Hospital of Georgia na Harper Street w centrum Augusty. To jest coroczna sobotnia piątka, z głównym biegiem startującym o 9:00 rano. Seria ma już dwudziestą edycję. Trasa jest wyznaczona wokół szpitala, nie w parku czy na stadionie, co nadaje imprezie taki lokalny charakter. Dorośli mogą startować w głównym biegu na 5K. Dzieci do 10. roku życia mają dwie opcje: darmowy start bez pomiaru czasu i koszulki, albo start z pomiarem czasu, w pakiecie z koszulką. Dodatkowe koszulki startowe są też dostępne do kupienia, póki starczy.

The 5K follows a paved out-and-back course suitable for runners and walkers. The 5K route crosses three bridges spanning the Savannah River and the Augusta Canal. The 10K follows the same path for its initial 3 miles. It then continues along the canal path beyond the pump station before returning to Lake Olmstead. A portion of the race proceeds is donated to the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area to support trail maintenance and improvements. The event was recognized as “Best 5K in Augusta.” Virtual participants may submit their times within the designated race window, though these results are not eligible for awards.
