The Breast Cancer Awareness 5K Run/Walk is a 5K and virtual run/walk held at Pine Banks Park in Melrose, Massachusetts. It begins at 9:00 AM EDT in October, coinciding with the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and is organized by the Tufts Medical community. The in-person 5K is a local park event, while the virtual option allows participation in support of the cause from outside Melrose. This marks the second annual running, positioning it as a developing community race rather than an established regional event. Its objective is clear: to raise awareness and offer support to patients, families, and friends impacted by breast cancer. The event also highlights the scope of the issue, stating that approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States receive a breast cancer diagnosis annually. There is no rain date; the race proceeds on its scheduled day regardless of weather conditions.

The event focuses on fundraising for the House Rabbit Network, with all proceeds supporting their rescue, adoption, and rabbit care education efforts. Following the 5K, attendees are invited to Craft Food Hall BXB on Beaver Brook Road for an after-party. The party will feature a raffle, music, family activities, food for purchase, and a complimentary drink with each registration.

The Witch City 5K is a 5K road race through Salem, Massachusetts, held during October's Haunted Happenings. It begins at 9:00 AM from Salem Willows Park on Fort Avenue, placing the race within the city's busiest Halloween season, not on a quiet race weekend. The route follows Salem streets and permits strollers and well-behaved dogs, positioning it as a community race rather than a competition exclusively for serious runners. Runners may obtain a race tee while supplies last. Shirts must be collected before the start. Free parking is available at the Willows main lot and along Fort Avenue.

The Fun(d) Run is Front Runners New York’s weekly social group runs, with options on Tuesday nights in Brooklyn, Wednesday nights in Manhattan, and Saturday mornings in Manhattan. Tuesday runners gather at the Grand Army Plaza Arch by the fountain at 7:00 PM, starting a Prospect Park loop by 7:15 PM. On the second Tuesday of each month, the group meets at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park for the free NYRR Open Run, which begins at 7:00 PM. Wednesday and Saturday runs convene in Central Park across from the Daniel Webster Statue, at 7:00 PM and 10:00 AM respectively. The Brooklyn run shifts location monthly between Prospect Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Manhattan runs use Central Park as the regular meeting point and running base. Wednesday typically sees the largest runner turnout of the week, and Saturday draws runners and walkers, including newcomers and visitors from other cities. Bag drop is available for the NYRR Open Run, varies for Tuesday Prospect Park runs, and is handled through Rutgers Church before the Manhattan runs. The social aspect is part of the routine: a different member selects a restaurant after Tuesday runs, Wednesday runners often go to dinner, and Saturday concludes with a light breakfast social.

The DEF Dash 5K is a live, in-person 5K run or walk held at Barnes Memorial Park in Dedham, starting at 11:00 AM. The Dedham Education Foundation established it following 10 years of Bernie’s Run, and the event has taken place annually since 2019. Hundreds of runners, walkers, family, and friends gather for a community race focused on schools, not solely a competition for runners. The day benefits the Dedham Education Foundation, Dedham Public Schools, and local students, offering age-category prizes, award ceremonies, food, drink, and music post-race.

The Fall Classic 5K begins and ends in downtown Cambridge, Massachusetts, with the race headquarters located at 64 Sidney St. This is a fall running event covering the standard 5K distance. The in-person race starts in the morning, and a Virtual 5K option is available for runners who prefer to complete the distance elsewhere. The course takes runners down Mass Ave and is described by the organizers as fast and flat, suitable for those aiming for a quick time or enjoying an autumn jog. The race is part of the Cambridge Classic series. Organizers note that these races tend to sell out, and registration prices increase in stages as race weekend approaches. A post-race gathering is included, lending the event a local Cambridge fun-run atmosphere rather than a basic timed 5K.

The Davis Hill Dragon Dash is an annual 5K road race held at Davis Hill Elementary School in Holden. It is structured as a school-community event, welcoming runners, walkers, strollers, and leashed dogs on the course. The race benefits the Davis Hill School PTA, with funds directed to student programs like science enrichment and classroom supplies. This marks the 11th year for the event, which also offers local businesses opportunities for sponsorship, including mile-marker placements.

Micky's Run is a 5k charity road race in Lowell, Massachusetts, held in May from late morning into early afternoon. The race raises money for Team Micky Ward charities, connecting the event to Lowell’s best-known boxing figure and local fundraising. Race day begins at the Blue Shamrock on Market Street, where runners check in before proceeding to the starting line. The pub also hosts the post-race party, making the event centered around this downtown spot as much as the 5k. Registration is managed via RunSignup.

The BMS Athletic Booster Club 5K is a community run in North Dighton, Massachusetts, taking place at 2700 Regional Road on the Dighton-Rehoboth High School cross country course. The primary event is a 5K (3.1 miles), and the same morning features a 1 Mile Fun Run for younger participants, families, or those preferring a shorter distance. Check-in is available throughout the morning; the 5K begins first, with the fun run starting an hour later. The course follows the high school's cross country layout, offering a school-sports environment rather than a typical road race. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in 5K age groups from 7-10 up to 60+. The fun run also awards the top three male and female finishers and provides medals for all participants. Early registrants receive shirts, and proceeds support user fees for Unified programs at Beckwith Middle School and Dighton Middle School.

The Amica Insurance Women's Classic is a 5K run and 3K walk for women, held at Brown University Stadium on Elmgrove Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island.

The event benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England, focusing on racing and fundraising alongside timed results. The 5K begins at Brown University Stadium, utilizing a certified, flat, fast course through Providence's East Side. The 3K walk, sponsored by Cardi's Furniture & Mattresses, mirrors the run's route, offering walkers the same stadium start and neighborhood course. Race morning also features children's races, a Kids Village, and a Health + Wellness Fair, contributing to a community atmosphere beyond a standard 5K.
