Run for Hope is an annual family-friendly fundraiser offering a 5K and a one-mile walk/run. It takes place at four in-person locations and includes a virtual option for remote participation. The in-person sites are Wheeler Ferris Wheel in Oklahoma City, Riverwalk Jenks near Tulsa, First Baptist Church in Weatherford, and Cottonwood Creek Park in Colorado Springs. The event is designed for families and runners alike, featuring food trucks, face painting, games, and options for a shorter, less strenuous participation. The funds raised support free Finding Hope and Hope After Loss family support groups. The number of runners directly impacts the practical help provided: every 20 runners supply books for one support group, every 50 runners enable one person to attend a retreat, and every 150 runners help launch a new Finding Hope or Hope After Loss group. The event targets 2,000 runners and 2,000 teams, with each runner contributing to the sustenance of over 60 family support groups. Participants have the option to submit a photo honoring a loved one, adding a personal dimension to the event beyond the race.

Runners cross the dry bed of Kaweah Lake at this trail race in Three Rivers, California. The race takes place in the fall and offers two straightforward distance options: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 10K (6.2 miles). It begins and ends on Sierra Drive. With limited parking, it has the feel of a small local event rather than a large city race. The course’s main appeal is its unique surface and location: instead of running around the lake, participants run across the exposed lake bottom. The first race sold out two weeks before the event, and participation is capped. Finishers receive a Lake Bottom t-shirt, a custom wood medal, complimentary race photos, and chip timing. The finish area provides food, music, and camaraderie. Proceeds benefit St. Anthony Retreat and Conference Center.

The Super Run 5K-Fresno is a 5 km run in Fresno, California, held at 7775 N. Friant Road, with a superhero theme. It is part of The Super Run, a national series of 5K events that partners with local charities instead of relying on a single city race tradition. The course details for Fresno are limited to the start area and the 5 km distance, suggesting a standard short road-race format. The unique aspect is the theme: participants are encouraged to adopt a superhero persona, and each event collaborates with non-profit organizations to generate funds and awareness for their missions.

Zarówno 5K, jak i bieg/marsz na 2 mile, startują o 9:00 rano. Na 2 mile nie ma pomiaru czasu. Jest też opcja wirtualna dla tych, którzy chcą koszulkę z biegu i poczuć klimat, ale bez osobistego udziału. To już 12. edycja tej imprezy i drugi bieg z cyklu Cal Classic Runner of the Year Series. Na trasie też czuć piracki klimat, bo stoją piraci i gra muzyka. Uważajcie na scallywags! Na mecie każdy dostaje piracki medalion i koszulkę z biegu. Wielu przebiera się za piratów na konkurs kostiumowy. Impreza jest otwarta dla spacerowiczów, wózków i dzieci, a dla dzieciaków do 9 lat są zniżki. Ciekawostką jest Pirate Treasure Chest o wartości $2,000, ale żeby odebrać nagrodę, trzeba być na miejscu. Impreza wspiera też Valley Crime Stoppers jako partnera charytatywnego.

Dostajesz pamiątkową koszulkę i medal finishera, inspirowane życiem i poświęceniem sierżanta Bejara. Medale są gwarantowane dla pierwszych 350 biegaczy, ale koszulek już nie ma pewności, jeśli zapiszesz się za późno. Odbiór pakietów jest w Reedley Police Department Annex Building na G Street, co fajnie podkreśla związek imprezy z departamentem i społecznością, którą upamiętnia.
