The Breast Cancer Awareness 5K Run/Walk is a 5K and virtual run/walk held at Pine Banks Park in Melrose, Massachusetts. It begins at 9:00 AM EDT in October, coinciding with the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and is organized by the Tufts Medical community. The in-person 5K is a local park event, while the virtual option allows participation in support of the cause from outside Melrose. This marks the second annual running, positioning it as a developing community race rather than an established regional event. Its objective is clear: to raise awareness and offer support to patients, families, and friends impacted by breast cancer. The event also highlights the scope of the issue, stating that approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States receive a breast cancer diagnosis annually. There is no rain date; the race proceeds on its scheduled day regardless of weather conditions.

The Barrington 5K Run Festival is a fall community race centered on a 5K Run/Walk, offering shorter options for children and families. The primary race guides participants through Barrington's streets and fields. The festival also features a 1-mile Fun Run and a 50-yard Kids Fun Run. The event marks its fifth anniversary under a new name, establishing it as a developing local tradition rather than a major destination race. Top male and female 5K finishers will each receive a $100 cash prize. 5K runners can obtain commemorative shirts by registering early, and pre-registered children in the Fun Run will receive finisher medals.

The Southcoast Health Cancer Care Nicole Podkowa 5k is a walk-and-run fundraiser supporting cancer care on the South Coast of Massachusetts. Taking place in October, participants are encouraged to be active throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The event offers a flexible format, allowing individuals to complete the 5K in person or virtually, either as runners or walkers. A free Kid's Dash for children 8 and under is also included, enabling families to participate without the day focusing solely on the main 5K distance. The funds raised benefit the Southcoast Health Nicole Podkowa Patient & Caregiver Fund. This fund assists cancer patients and their families with essential living expenses, including utilities, food, housing, transportation, cancer-related supplies, and other necessities. Consequently, the event emphasizes community support for patients undergoing treatment rather than competitive racing. In previous virtual iterations, participants could complete their 5K from any location, utilizing a printable bib and obtaining a long-sleeve Podkowa 5K shirt.
