Biegi 5K w pobliżu Oskaloosa

The Prairie Moon 5K Pumpkin Fun Run begins and ends at Prairie Moon Waldorf School in Lawrence, Kansas. It features a timed 5K for adults and other runners, alongside a short, untimed obstacle-course run for children. This event serves as a public community fundraiser for the school. Adult 5K registration includes a shirt, and a children’s shirt is available for the fun run. The 5K route departs the school onto gravel roads and trails, incorporating the Mud Creek levee trail, before returning to campus. The course is timed but not certified. Strollers are permitted, but sturdy tires are recommended for the gravel sections. Following the run, the school grounds transform into a fall gathering with activities such as pumpkin painting, chess, tacos, coffee, and baked goods. Prizes from local stores are awarded to top finishers, and a Garmin watch raffle includes all 5K registrants.

Topeka Turkey Trot to bieg, który odbywa się w Topeka, Kansas, w Dzień Dziękczynienia rano. Organizuje go Fleet Feet. Są do wyboru dystanse 10K, 5K i Kids Turkey Trot 1K. Dłuższe biegi startują wcześniej, a dziecięcy bieg jest zaplanowany na później rano. Wyznaczone miejsce to SE Croco Road, ale dokładne mapy tras i inne detale jeszcze ogarniają. To już druga edycja tej imprezy, a cel jest taki, żeby zachęcić do aktywności fizycznej przed świątecznym jedzeniem. Wśród uczestników są biegacze, spacerowicze, całe rodziny, doświadczeni zawodnicy, debiutanci i dzieciaki, co sprawia, że to bardziej spotkanie społeczności niż tylko wyścig na wynik. Bieg stawia na wdzięczność, wspólne spędzanie czasu i robienie apetytu na ciasto po biegu.

The Lawrence Shamrock Shuffle begins and ends at Johnny's Tavern in Lawrence, Kansas, offering 5K, 10K, Family 5K, and virtual race choices. This event aligns with the Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade, taking place annually during the St. Patrick's season. Participants are encouraged to wear green or other Irish-themed attire. The 10K provides a less common distance for local runners, and the shorter races accommodate families and casual participants. The courses follow the river levee, extend into North Lawrence, and traverse the historic North Lawrence and Pinkney neighborhoods. Aid stations are positioned approximately every 1.5 to 2 miles. Awards are presented to overall winners, Masters and Super Masters, and the top three in each age category. Registration covers a race shirt and a participation award. Post-race refreshments feature an Irish breakfast from Johnny's North and the parade committee. Proceeds benefit Douglas County children's charities selected by the Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee.

Club CAN’s wider mission focuses on providing social opportunities for neurodivergent individuals from middle school through adulthood. Packet pick-up is available on race day before the start, and also on Thursday evening. Registration includes a t-shirt, with supplies guaranteed through early April.
