Monster Mash Dash is a Halloween 5K and kids' race held in Manito Park on Spokane's South Hill. The main 5K begins in the morning and uses chip timing. The Kids' Fun Run follows later, offering 1-mile, half-mile, and quarter-mile options. Costumes are encouraged, allowing runners to dress for Halloween rather than treating it as a standard road race. The event is designed for families. Adults may walk or run the entire kids' course with their children, and kids receive candy goodie bags at the finish. Many parents run the 5K first, then join their children for the Fun Run. Proceeds benefit Active4Youth, a local nonprofit focused on childhood obesity and after-school activity programs, including a free elementary running program in Spokane-area school districts.

The Iron Pickle 5K is a fun run held in early summer in Canton, Ohio, coinciding with Canton Pickle Fest. The course begins at the Stark County Fairgrounds and concludes at the festival grounds, allowing participants to go directly from the finish line to the post-race festivities. The event welcomes runners, walkers, families, and casual participants, offering a pickle-themed medal to all finishers. The Iron Pickle Challenge offers an optional upgrade: participants can choose to carry either pickles provided by The Crazy Cucumber or a large inflatable pickle throughout the 5K. Previous participants noted the inflatable pickle presented more difficulty than anticipated. A separate Little Pickle Run, a 200-meter event for children 8 and under, is also featured. Virtual participation is available for those unable to attend in person, with mailed packets that may contain an inflatable pickle.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo hosts this annual morning event with two options: a 5K run/walk at 8:30 AM or a 1-mile walk at 9:00 AM. Presented by CrossCountry Mortgage, the event supports the zoo’s conservation efforts, not just local racing. Participants choose a species to support: Andean Bear, Asian Turtle, Giraffe, Gorilla, Lion, or Rhino. With over twenty years of wildlife protection work, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo links a short, accessible course to a direct conservation fundraiser. Spectators are welcome inside the zoo with advance online tickets; membership does not grant spectator access.

5KRunDead Zombie Run is a nationwide 5K series where runners try to get through a zombie-filled course without losing their “health” flags. Participants can sign up as runners or as zombies, so the same event works as both a short race and a chase game. The organizers describe it as the most affordable zombie run in the country, and the series has listed stops in at least 35 U.S. cities. Proceeds go to scientific research on Alzheimer’s disease, with some event material also naming cancer research as a beneficiary. The course is built around flag football-style survival: runners start with flags, zombies try to pull them, and anyone who reaches the finish with at least one flag survives. Zombies get free professional makeup before the race, with makeup artists on site to turn volunteers into more convincing pursuers. A DJ is part of the event setup, and participants receive a 5KRunDead shirt, refreshments, and a chance at prizes after the run.

The Drug Demand Reduction Dash is a 5K run/walk held in Kingman, Arizona, each October, originating from KRMC's Hualapai Mountain Campus.

The event accommodates both runners and walkers, offering overall and age-group awards at the conclusion. Pets are permitted on the course; participants should bring water for their animals. A single water stop is provided for runners along the route. Registration and packet collection are managed locally, with options for in-person sign-ups at BLOOM Hair & Beauty Bar and early collection at the Hualapai Mountain Campus.

The Donut Worry Run Happy takes place in Cleveland, starting at Brewnuts, 6501 Detroit Road. It offers a 5K Run/Walk, a 1 Mile Walk, and the b.a. Sweetie Candy Company Donut Dash for children 8 and under. The 5K begins at Brewnuts and is chip-timed, while the mile walk and kids' dash are not timed. Participant numbers are limited to 600, keeping the event more intimate than a large city race. Packet pickup and registration occur outside Brewnuts before the start. All participants receive a custom shirt, a finisher medal, and a donut from Brewnuts. Children in the Donut Dash also get a donut and a Donut Goodie Bag. The event is designed for runners, walkers, and young children; dogs and strollers are prohibited on the course.

The RePlay for Kids Halloween Run is a charity race in Medina, Ohio, hosted at the Medina County Board of Developmental Disabilities. It offers a chip-timed 5K for runners, an untimed 1 Mile Fun Walk for a more casual outing, and a virtual option for people who want to support the event from elsewhere. The race supports RePlay for Kids, a nonprofit that repairs, adapts, and gives toys and assistive devices to children with disabilities. Costumes are encouraged, so the event leans more family-friendly and playful than strictly competitive. People can sign up on their own or join a team, and virtual participants receive mailed race shirts and gift bags. The 5K still has a competitive side, with awards for the top overall male and female finishers and age-group winners.

Trick-or-Trot is a Halloween-themed run and walk in Brecksville, Ohio, featuring a 5K, a 1-mile fun run, and a costume contest held on the same morning.

The costume contest offers 15 categories, such as Funniest Costume, Best Hero or Villain, and Tastiest Costume. Proceeds benefit local children, including Kids in Flight, an organization that provides aviation experiences for children facing serious illnesses or disabilities.

Packet pick-up begins at 7:00 a.m.; race-day registration is available online only.

A family-friendly after-party follows, featuring games, a DJ, food trucks, crafts, and face painting. Proceeds benefit the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Foundation’s community programs, supporting initiatives like access to justice, youth empowerment, and efforts toward a more equitable Cleveland.

Packet pickup is available before the races, aligning the event with a straightforward school-based morning schedule instead of a large festival setup.
