Biegi 5K 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.

SKECHERS Wicked Wine Run Napa Valley Fall Date to biegowo-spacerowa impreza w winnicy Sunrise Ranch Winery w American Canyon, na południowym krańcu Napa Valley. Do wyboru masz 5K Wicked Wine Run, 1K Wine Walk albo opcję łączoną, jeśli chcesz zrobić oba.

Potem jest impreza z DJ-em na żywo, food truckami, dodatkowym winem do kupienia i grami. Organizuje to Wicked Wine Run, a udział wspiera też partnerów charytatywnych.

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 Concord California Turkey Trot 5K begins at Newhall Park at 8 AM on Thanksgiving morning. This 5K run/walk in Concord, California, offers a family registration option, a charity entry, and a separate Kids Run presented by Liberty Gymnastics. The event supports Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa, directly linking the holiday race to a local food-service nonprofit. The 5K course incorporates grass fields, park pathways, and city streets, creating a mixed-surface park run rather than a flat road-only race. Strollers and pets are permitted, though participants with them should begin at the rear to allow timed runners a clear start. All 5K participants receive a tech shirt and a medal. Children aged two and under may ride in a stroller without paid registration. The Kids Run is situated near the 5K start and finish at Newhall Community Park, featuring check-in and a group warm-up prior to a brief morning run for children.

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.

The Artesa Wine Run 5k is a timed 5k held at Artesa Vineyards & Winery on Henry Road in Napa, approximately one hour from San Francisco. Participants select one of two morning start times during registration, dividing the day into smaller waves rather than a single mass start. The event centers on the winery experience alongside the run. Following the 5k, attendees may partake in wine tasting, explore the Spanish-style architecture, and sample tapas paired with the wines. J3 Timing manages the race timing, with results available online. Some registration options include assisting with check-in prior to the run.
