The Cobb County 5K begins at Marietta Square, raising funds for Make-A-Wish Georgia. Proceeds support granting wishes for children in Cobb County with critical illnesses. This 5-kilometer race offers timed and untimed options, alongside a donation-only Phantom Runner choice for those wishing to support the cause without participating in the run.

The 5K course winds through Marietta streets, including Cherokee Street, Church Street, Freyer Drive, Pine Street, and Allgood Road.

As a Peachtree Road Race qualifying event, runners seeking an official qualifying time have an incentive to start near the front. Teams of nine or more receive a reduced registration rate, and special pricing is available for teachers, students, and school groups. All finishers get a T-shirt, the winning T-shirt designer receives a plaque, and Wish Kids present medals to the winners.

The Lucky Dog Walk for Recovery begins and ends at The Stone Summit in Kennesaw, Georgia, covering a 5K on the Noonday Creek trail.

Participants are encouraged to bring their canine companions, alongside human friends. The course follows a straightforward out-and-back path originating from The Stone Summit, concluding with music, food, and awards. The walk is named in honor of Lucky, a dog gifted to The Extension by a volunteer. Lucky resided at the men's campus, providing comfort to residents for years. Subsequently, the organization named its softball team The Lucky Dogs, and a costumed Lucky Dog mascot now attends softball games and other gatherings.

The event incorporates Halloween elements with decorations, music, fog machines, a costume contest, complimentary cotton candy, and complimentary popcorn. The format accommodates runners, walkers, step counters, children, first-time 5k participants, and faster athletes. The course provides park benches and hydration stations for breaks.

The Nightmare on Main 5K concludes the Kennesaw Grand Prix Race Series. This 5K takes place on paved streets in downtown Kennesaw, suitable for both novice 5K participants and those aiming for a personal best to cap off the series. The race's distinctive character comes from its Halloween theme. Participants are invited to wear costumes as they run through town. As the Grand Prix's final event, it provides a lighthearted conclusion to the series, differing from a typical road race finale.

Trek or Treat is a 5K Justice Run at Boundary Waters Park in Douglasville, Georgia, held in October during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The Early Bird Turkey Trot takes place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving in Kennesaw and Marietta, offering in-person 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon races. The same distances are available virtually, allowing participation remotely. This event is part of the Five Star NTP race series and serves as an early iteration of the organizer’s Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, providing an opportunity to run before the holiday. The race originated from a Five Star NTP custom of offering a complimentary 5K entry to returning runners: those who completed any of the organizer’s races between early December and mid-November qualify for one in-person Turkey Trot 5K entry. Participants not qualifying can still register for a modest fee. Shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals are available as optional purchases, not included automatically. The event relies on local charity and volunteer assistance, with a charity partner receiving donations and volunteers earning free future races for their morning's work.

Wobble Before You Gobble is a Thanksgiving Day 5K run/walk in Bremen, Georgia, starting at 8:00 AM from 1135 Pacific Avenue. It is a chip-timed race, built for families as much as for runners: walkers, stroller-pushers, and pets are welcome. All proceeds help Haralson County children in need, giving the morning a clear local purpose before the holiday meal. Finishers receive a participation medal, and early registrants get a commemorative shirt picked up after the race; race-day registration is available by QR code with card payment only, though late sign-ups are not guaranteed a shirt.

Pine Log Possum Trot is a Thanksgiving morning 5K hosted by historic Pine Log United Methodist Church in Rydal, Georgia. It starts and finishes from the church at 3497 Pine Log Rd NE, and the day is designed for families, neighbors, runners, and walkers rather than for a competitive race field. Participants can run, walk, jog, or “wog,” which indicates the mood: the objective is getting out together before the holiday meal, not competing for first place. All proceeds support Hickory Log Personal Care Home, so the event connects a local 5K to a direct benefit for community members.

Sleighbells on the Square is a December race morning held at Marietta Square in Marietta, Georgia. The 5K, 1K, and Tot Trot all start and finish downtown. The 5K is chip-timed, USATF certified, and an AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier, suitable for runners aiming for a qualifying mark and families seeking a holiday run or walk. This is the event's 24th edition, and long-sleeve shirts are provided for all race distances. The 5K route goes through Marietta Square and the adjacent historic neighborhood, with the square decorated for the holidays. Participants are encouraged to wear festive attire, such as reindeer ears and sweaters with bells; strollers and dogs are permitted. The race benefits the Cobb County Bar Association's Children's Emergency Fund, which provides emergency grants to Cobb County households for needs like utilities, clothing, medicine, and housing costs. The 5K awards custom medals to overall, masters, and age-group finishers from 10 and under through 75 and older. The event also features a school participation contest and a virtual 5K option.
