Hit the Barlow Trail Run/Walk & Kid's Dash is a community 5K at Sam Barlow High School in Gresham, Oregon, with a kids dash starting before the main run/walk. The Sam Barlow High School Alumni Association organizes the annual event, and participants can join in person or choose a virtual run/walk option. The 5K uses the school campus, mostly following the cross country trail with mixed running surfaces. A track option is available for people who cannot use the trail. Runners and walkers get bibs and see a race clock, but the event does not keep official times or places. Everyone receives a finisher award, and proceeds support SBHSAA student scholarships.

Running Scared is a Halloween-themed 5K and 13K based at Captain William Clark Park in Washougal, Washington, in the Greater Portland area. The shorter race starts at 8:00 AM and the 13K follows at 8:30 AM, giving runners a choice between a quick morning run and a longer fall-distance challenge. Costumes are encouraged, but the event also works for runners who just want to race, jog, or bring kids into the Halloween mood without making the day too serious. The standout option is the Deadly Double, where runners complete both the 5K and the 13K and get separate recognition for that combined effort. All participants receive a long-sleeve race shirt and a custom finisher medal, and the start and finish area includes music and Halloween goodies. Awards go deep: overall male and female winners, Masters, Grand Masters, Senior Masters, and traditional five-year age groups are all covered in both race distances.

The Stevenson Turkey Trot 5k begins at the Skamania Fairground Exhibit Hall in Stevenson, Washington, on Thanksgiving morning. This is a free run-walk-jog 5k designed for families, friends, casual runners, walkers, and anyone wanting to move before the big meal. Pre-registration is encouraged, and participants should arrive before 8am for check-in; same-day registration is possible, but bib numbers and results will not be provided. The course winds through Stevenson, emphasizing a relaxed community outing over a competitive race. Instead of an entry fee, participants are asked to bring non-perishable food items or cash donations for the local Food Bank. Previous years have seen participants donate hundreds of pounds of food and money, and the Turkey Trot now upholds over twenty years of local tradition.

The Candy Cane 5K Dash takes place in December at St. Patrick School in Meridian, Mississippi. The race begins at 2700 Davis Street at 8:30 a.m. Participants can choose a 5K run or walk, and a 1 Mile Fun Run is available for children and families. The event is organized around the school. Packet pickup occurs at St. Patrick School on the Friday before the race. Registered participants who sign up by the shirt deadline receive a race shirt. Awards are presented to the top male and female finishers overall, winners in age groups from 10-and-under to 70-plus, and the top male and female walkers.

The Couve Clover Run is a St. Patrick’s-style run and walk in downtown Vancouver, Washington, held annually on the weekend after the Shamrock Run. Participants wear festive green for a choice of 1, 3, 7, or 10 miles. The shorter options are accessible to walkers, families, and runners seeking a shorter effort. The 3-mile walk is untimed, and the Lucky Leap 1-mile walk offers participants the same shirt, medal, food, and beverages as longer-distance runners. Why Racing Events hosts the race, which raises money for local charities. The route is mostly flat with a couple of short hills, described as a fast course. The longer courses pass through recognizable Vancouver locations, including historic Officer’s Row, Fort Vancouver, and the Columbia Riverfront. Medals, T-shirts, free beer, pint glasses from Main Event, and a post-race party with downtown Vancouver pubs and breweries are part of the event. Fleet Feet Sports PDX has hosted packet pickup and provided staff and ambassadors on race day, contributing to the event’s local, community-run feel.

The One Sprint Into Spring 5K begins behind the Estacada Fire Station in Oregon. Runners follow a USATF-certified, chip-timed course eligible for official records. Similar events named Sprint Into Spring 5K occur in Elgin, Illinois, and Brentwood, New York. Elgin hosts an annual run/walk by Hanover Township’s Office of Community Health on the first Saturday in May. Brentwood’s event is a fun run/walk fundraiser with distinct starts for runners and walkers. The Estacada course covers 5 km with 276 feet of elevation change, featuring an early steep climb, rolling hills through town, and a downhill finish on Broadway. Elgin’s race starts at the Hanover Township Izaak Walton Youth Center and includes walkers, sponsor tables, snacks, beverages, shirts, and medals for top finishers. Proceeds from the Estacada race benefit Parks & Recreation. Elgin’s race funds the Hanover Township Foundation, assisting residents with medical and dental expenses. Brentwood includes a Zumba stretch before its start.
