The Sardis Fire and Rescue Run is a 5K held at the former Riverview Golf Course, starting and finishing at the same location. Miles of Smiles Timing manages the chip timing, though the atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming runners, joggers, walkers, and pets. The course specifics are not detailed, but the event focuses on community backing over a complex route. Participants receive drinks and light refreshments post-race. Those registered by race day will get a Sardis Fire and Rescue Run T-shirt. All funds raised benefit the Sardis Volunteer Fire Department, supporting their volunteer efforts for the community.

The Pocono Mountains Marathon Race Festival is a fall running event held at Promised Land State Park in Greentown, Pennsylvania. The start and finish lines are located at the Upper Lake Overflow Parking Lot. Participants can select from a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon. The marathon is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier, with PA certification number 21011NP. The course winds through the state park during the fall foliage season, offering a wooded Pocono park running experience rather than city streets. Elite Feats organizes the event, and Mark Hughes is the race director. Awards are presented in male, female, and nonbinary categories, with age-group awards for nonbinary runners in the marathon, half marathon, and 10K. First-time half marathon and marathon finishers receive a commemorative plaque alongside their finisher medal. Registration includes a shirt, medal, and running socks.

The Veterans Trail Festival begins and ends at the Recreation Hall in Raccoon Creek State Park, near Hookstown, Pennsylvania. The event features a 5K run/hike and also offers 20-mile and 50K trail races, accommodating walkers, newer trail runners, and ultra runners on the same day. The 5K follows an out-and-back path with a water station at the midpoint. The 20-mile and 50K routes primarily use single-track trails, presenting rocks, roots, challenging footing, and steep inclines, which often lead to the typical finisher comment: “That was harder than I thought it would be.” The longer races include five aid stations and ham radio tracking. The event benefits veteran and military service members via the Outdoor Immersion Team; 5K participants can also engage in fundraising.

Oglebay Twinkle Trot 5K to świąteczny bieg wieczorny w Oglebay, w Wheeling, West Virginia. Odbywa się w sezonie tamtejszego Festiwalu Świateł. Start i meta są na Camp Russell Lane, blisko zoo, a wszyscy ruszają wieczorem. Za pomiar czasu odpowiada Wolf Creek Race Management, ale impreza jest dla każdego: dla doświadczonych biegaczy, debiutantów, truchtaczy, spacerowiczów, dzieciaków i gości specjalnych. Trasa prowadzi przez te wszystkie świetlne instalacje w Oglebay. Mówią, że mają tam miliony światełek, świąteczne scenki i muzykę. Ważne, żeby każdy miał ze sobą albo na sobie jakąś lampkę dla widoczności. Widziałem, że dużo biegaczy ozdabia swoje stroje światełkami i zimowymi motywami, fajnie to wygląda. Na miejscu jest też rejestracja, odbiór pakietów, DJ, atrakcje dla dzieciaków, darmowy parking i toalety przy starcie i mecie. No, taka typowa rodzinna impreza świąteczna.

Słuchaj, jest taka impreza biegowa/marszowa, Gobble Til We Wobble, na 5K w St. Clairsville, Ohio. Odbywa się rano w Święto Dziękczynienia. Start jest o 9:00 rano spod Central Park Amphitheater na Fair Street. Organizuje to St. Clairsville Recreation Department, taka lokalna świąteczna impreza, gdzie biegacze i chodziarze wspólnie pokonują 5K, zanim ruszą z przygotowaniami do obchodów Święta Dziękczynienia. To już czwarta edycja i wspiera St. Clairsville Alumni Association, zbierając fundusze na lokalne cele. Wcześniej zapisani dostaną haftowaną czapkę, w sam raz na koniec listopada. Medale dostają trzy najlepsze osoby w kategorii open (kobiety i mężczyźni), a także po trzy najlepsze osoby (kobiety i mężczyźni) w kategoriach wiekowych od 13 lat i młodsi do 60 lat i starsi.
