Biegi 10K w pobliżu Vacaville

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 Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest starts and finishes at Rotary Park on Main Street in Winters, California. This Halloween-season run/walk is hosted by the Winters Runners and Walkers Club Charity as part of the three-day Winters Harvest Festival. It includes a 10K, a 5K, and a 1 Mile Kids Monster Dash and adult run/walk. The 10K starts first, the 5K follows, and the 1 Mile event goes later, allowing for both timed runners and families with children. All routes stay within the city of Winters, making this a local town event. The 5K and 10K are timed, with place awards for the top three men and women in each distance. The 1 Mile is untimed. Finishers receive race bibs, custom tech tees, and medals. 5K and 10K finishers also receive free Hooby's Beverages. Costumes are part of every race, with awards for Best Individual and Best Group in each event. Proceeds support outdoor fitness equipment for Winters Walnut Park, donated to the City of Winters.

Boundary Bay is a late-fall race series held at Boundary Bay Park, Centennial Beach in Delta, British Columbia, offering 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and 4-person marathon relay distances. The marathon is presented as a final opportunity for runners aiming for a Boston qualifying time, featuring a straightforward course: a completely flat gravel oceanside trail with no elevation gain. All distances follow an out-and-back route along British Columbia's southern coast, allowing participants to run beside Boundary Bay instead of through city streets. The course offers views across the Salish Sea towards the San Juan Islands, with migratory birds present and ocean weather as the primary variable. The race supports Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon. Organizers acknowledge the late-season timing by advising runners to dress warmly, bring dry clothes, and appreciate the clock-change weekend that may provide an extra hour of sleep.

The Davis Turkey Trot, held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving in Davis, California, begins at 6th and C Streets for all timed races. It offers participants a choice of distances on one morning: 1 mile, 2 mile, 5K, 10K, and half marathon, along with a children's run. The event typically draws between 1,000 and 5,000 participants, creating a busy, community-focused atmosphere. The courses are noted for being fast and flat, suitable for beginners, families, and those aiming for a consistent pace. The half marathon is not a Boston Qualifier. The event incorporates the holiday spirit through its shirts, post-race activities, and finisher medals for human and canine participants. Packet pickup is offered the day before and on race morning, with parking at Davis High School and bib pickup located near the finish line on race day.

The Thanksgiving Turkey Gobble Trot is a Sacramento run and walk held at Sutter's Landing Regional Park during the Thanksgiving season. Runners and walkers can choose a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, and there is also a virtual option for people who want to cover the distance on their own. The event is built for families and casual participants as much as regular runners, with all ages and paces welcome and under-18s needing a guardian. The setup is simple: pick a distance, bring friends or family, and run or walk before the holiday meal. The organizer leans into the Thanksgiving theme with the line “run so we can feast,” and the event is promoted as a community outing rather than a race that demands special gear or experience. Coordinators are on hand to support participants, which fits the relaxed format and makes the longer distances less intimidating for people setting a holiday fitness goal.

Reindeer Run/Walk to coroczny bieg świąteczny w American Canyon, California, zawsze na początku grudnia. Są dystanse 5K (bieg/marsz) i 10K (bieg). Starty zaczynają się o 8 rano, najpierw 10K, potem biegacze na 5K, a na końcu idący na 5K. To impreza dla każdego – zapraszają spacerowiczów, całe rodziny, dzieciaki i biegaczy na każdym poziomie zaawansowania. Impreza ma fajny, świąteczny klimat, zwłaszcza dla młodszych. Dzieciaki do 5 lat dostają medal za ukończenie i pamiątkowe rogi (jak renifer!), a dla tych od 6 do 17 lat są specjalne zniżki. Zapisy ruszają w czerwcu z opcją early-bird. 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.
