Bay Front Run startuje i kończy się na Bayfront Boulevard w Hercules, Kalifornia, zaraz przy Bay Front Trail. Ten coroczny bieg dla społeczności ma w ofercie 5K, 10K, bieg/marsz na 1 Milę i Kids Fun Run. Główne biegi startują rano, a Kids Fun Run jest później. 5K i 10K są mierzone chipem i z wynikami, za to krótsze dystanse są dla piechurów, rodzin z dziećmi i maluchów. Trasa biegnie od Sanderling i Bayfront, wzdłuż Bayfront Boulevard, aż do wejścia na Bay Trail przy John Muir Parkway. Potem biegnie tym trailem przez Hercules w stronę Rodeo, a nawrotka jest na końcu Bay Trail. Dystans 10K to ta trasa dwa razy. Cała impreza wspiera Hercules Education Foundation. Po biegu jest jeszcze Bay Front Festival, gdzie będzie muzyka, food trucki, lokalne firmy, jakaś rozrywka i organizacje społeczne. Kto zapisze się wcześniej, dostaje koszulkę, pierwszych 350 na mecie ma medal, a najlepsi w 5K i 10K (kobiety i mężczyźni) dostają nagrody.

The Windsor Marathon begins and ends at The Island at Pelican Lakes in Water Valley, Windsor, Colorado. The event offers a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 1 Mile Fit & Fun Run, accommodating marathoners, shorter-distance runners, and children. The course incorporates golf-course paths, the Poudre River trail, inclines, and single-track dirt trail sections for the marathon. The marathon commences earlier than the other races, with the 1-mile run scheduled for later in the morning. Post-race, participants can enjoy breakfast, beverages, and music at the finish area. The event supports Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Weld RE-4 Foundation.

The Reservoir Dogs Trail Run is an October trail race held at San Pablo Reservoir, located near Orinda in the East Bay. All race distances commence and conclude at the San Pablo Reservoir Visitor Center. Participants can select from 5K, 10K, half marathon, or 35K distances. The event has a participant cap of approximately 300 individuals across all races. Inside Trail Racing organizes this event. The longer distances feature a 6.5-hour time limit, maintaining the structure of a genuine trail race as opposed to a casual reservoir run. The course's distinctive feature is its complete circuit around Briones Reservoir using EBMUD trails, incorporating segments typically accessible only with permits. Expect a mix of moderately technical dirt paths, open fire roads, undulating hills, wooded single-track, winding single and double-track sections, exposed ridgelines, and expansive vistas of the watershed. The 10K, half marathon, and 35K races involve less elevation gain compared to many other Inside Trail events, allowing for faster times while still providing road runners with a true trail challenge. Aid stations are equipped with gels, trail mix, salty snacks, fruit, Coke, and Stroopwafels; however, participants must carry their own water between stations. Finishers receive a tech shirt and a medal, age-group victors are awarded trophies, and one participant receives the unique "Dead Last Finisher" award. Notably, dogs are prohibited despite the race's name.

Opłaty startowe nie podlegają zwrotowi, a niewykorzystane środki idą na ACParks. Organizatorzy promują bieg też na lokalnym jarmarku Meet Me in the Street w American Canyon, który jest zawsze w drugą środę miesiąca od czerwca do września. Można tam pograć w gry, wygrać nagrody i dowiedzieć się więcej o biegu, zanim na dobre ruszy sezon startowy.

The Beer City Half Santa Rosa begins at A Place to Play in Santa Rosa, California, offering a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1-mile Beer Stroll on the same morning. The event centers on running and local beer, with finishers receiving a shirt, a Key to Beer City medal, a custom tasting glass, and unlimited tastings until noon from Santa Rosa and Sonoma County brewers. The longer races follow the Santa Rosa Creek, showcasing a less-traveled section of the city, while the Beer Stroll remains near A Place to Play. Following the main races, the Beat the Beast Beer Mile challenges runners against a Beer City Beast; if caught, the runner is eliminated. The afternoon continues at Moonlight Brewing with the Shindig, featuring music by School of Rock Santa Rosa, food trucks, games, and a first beer included with entry. The Beermazing Race introduces a pub-challenge element, sending teams to visit five brewers between early and late afternoon, with limited capacity noted by organizers as a reason for potential sell-outs.

Victory begins at the historic Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, California, sending runners onto the Richmond Bay Trail along San Francisco Bay. The series includes a half marathon, 10k, and 5k, allowing participants to select anything from a short bayfront run to a longer, flat road course. The courses are flat and fast, suitable for beginners and those aiming for a personal record. The route follows the San Francisco Bay Trail, offering open views across the bay toward the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, and Mt. Tamalpais. The race name references Richmond’s World War II home front history, when hundreds of ships, including Victory ships, were built in the area, and the nearby Ford assembly plant shifted from car production to military vehicles. Runners can also combine this with the Breeze to Victory race for the B2V Double, receiving a combined “mega medal” with a special middle piece for completing both events.
