Sandhills Running’s Sasquatch offers a four-hour 1-mile repeat race alongside a 5K on the Weymouth Woods Boyd Tract Loop in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Both events commence at 8 AM on a clearly marked trail. The longer race allows participants four hours to complete as many one-mile laps as possible, while the 5K involves three circuits of the same loop. The route encircles the Weymouth Center property and goes by the oldest known living longleaf pine, estimated to be over 470 years old. This format is ideal for runners prioritizing straightforward organization: a single, repeated trail loop, packet collection the night before or on race morning, parking at the Weymouth Woods Center for the Humanities, and a distinct option between a timed endurance event and a short trail 5K.

The I Thought Turkeys Could Fly 5k is a November 5K held in Dunn, North Carolina. It starts at 8:00 a.m. on North General Lee Avenue, near Tyler Park. The race begins and ends in the same location and is chip-timed, providing runners with an official recorded result. The certified course is designed for speed, featuring only 56 feet of elevation change and a downhill finish. This marks the race's second year, and its proceeds benefit the local Toys for Tots chapter, giving this small-town 5K a distinct community purpose beyond the timing results.

The Santa Shuffle 5k & 1 Mile is a holiday run and walk on the paved Cape Fear River Trail, offering 5k and 1-mile options.

This event emphasizes costumes and casual participation over competitive racing, welcoming runners, walkers, children, strollers, and pets. Participants are encouraged to wear Santa costumes and bring or dress up their dogs as "Santa Paws." Note that late registrations might not include a Santa suit or medal if supplies are depleted.

Rumba on the Lumber is a race series held in Lumberton, North Carolina. It features a 5K, 10K, and Fun Mile, all scheduled for the same day in March. UNC Health Southeastern serves as the title sponsor. The start line is located at Chestnut and 4th Streets in downtown Lumberton. The Fun Mile covers 1.6 km, with the main events being the standard 5 km and 10 km distances. This setup accommodates walkers, newer runners, and those seeking a longer road race.

The Lu Mil Wine Run 5k is an annual 5k run/walk held at Lu Mil Vineyards. It features a short race followed by a pour of local wine. Participants select their start time during registration. The event is chip timed and scored by J3 Timing, with results available online at J3Timing.com. The vineyard location is the primary attraction. Additional items are distinctly wine-themed: registration provides a soft ring-spun cotton shirt, a shatterproof collapsible wine glass, and a finisher medal that also functions as a wine stopper. The race accommodates a broad age range, from young children to older adults, presenting as a relaxed winery visit with an accompanying timed 5k rather than a competitive race.
