O Zoom Turkey Trot rola na manhã de Thanksgiving no Hellyer County Park, em San Jose. A galera corre pelo Coyote Creek Trail, com o Buena Vista Pavilion como base da prova. Tem 5K, 10K e half marathon certificada pela USATF. Para as crianças de 6 anos ou menos, tem uma Kids Run grátis de 50-yard. As largadas são em horários separados ao longo da manhã: primeiro a Kids Run, depois a half marathon, o 10K e o 5K. Também há categorias específicas de inscrição no 5K e no 10K para corredores mais novos, então o evento funciona bem tanto para famílias quanto para adultos querendo encaixar uma corrida mais longa no feriado. O percurso é bem plano, todo marcado e quase todo asfaltado. As rotas do 5K e do 10K ficam no asfalto, enquanto a half marathon pega um trecho curto de single-track. Os postos de apoio ficam a cada 2 to 4 miles, com fruta, salgadinhos, doces, água e bebida com eletrólitos. A prova é cupless, então você precisa levar sua própria garrafa ou copo. As regras do percurso incluem ultrapassar pela esquerda avisando, não usar fone no single track, nas travessias, nos postos de apoio e na chegada, e deixar os cachorros fora do percurso. Quem participa recebe uma medalha personalizada, quem se inscreveu antes ganha camiseta, e há premiação por faixa etária para os três primeiros de cada categoria. Os três primeiros homens e mulheres em cada distância recebem prêmios e créditos para outras provas. E tem um prêmio bem literal de Thanksgiving também: dá para ganhar um peru.

Summit Rock is an early-winter trail race in Sanborn County Park, just outside Saratoga in Northern California’s Santa Cruz Mountains. The series offers a half marathon, 10K, and 5K on forested terrain, with pines, redwoods, oak trees, and miles of single-track trail inside a park of more than 3,600 acres. It is a timed race with electronic chip timing, but walkers and hikers are welcome too, so the field is not limited to runners chasing a fast finish. The half marathon and 10K climb toward peaks, while every distance uses narrow trail under the tree canopy. The terrain is challenging, with enough climbing and descending that new trail runners are encouraged to walk the hills and save energy for flatter or downhill sections. More experienced runners get a tougher mountain-route outing close to Silicon Valley, San Jose, and San Francisco, and all finishers receive custom medals. The race takes its name from Summit Rock, the park peak tied to the event.

The Kiwanis Resolution races are 5K and 10K run/walk events held at Mountain View Shoreline Park in Mountain View, California. They take place near the start of the new year, scheduled for a Saturday to accommodate holiday travelers. Both the 5K and 10K utilize digital chip timing, and a 1K run/walk for children ages 1 to 10 is also part of the event. The races are based within Shoreline Park at 2955 N Shoreline Blvd. The courses are on paved roads, with free parking available. Dogs and pets are not permitted in the park. The 10K begins first in the morning, with the 5K starting shortly after. Following the races, participants receive snacks and awards. Early registrants are given a specially designed race shirt, and every child participating in the 1K receives a race T-shirt.

The Morgan Hill AAUW Wildflower Run begins and ends at Live Oak High School. It features a 10K USATF-certified run, a 5K run/walk/stroller option, and 2K events on the school track. The 5K and 10K are flat, fast road races on local back roads. The 10K follows the same route as the 5K, adding a second loop. This annual, all-volunteer fundraiser for AAUW Morgan Hill can accommodate up to about 1,500 participants, an increase from the previous cap of 1,200. The race route was adjusted due to increased runner and vehicle traffic causing conflicts on Main Avenue and Condit Road. The revised course eliminates dangerous left turns onto and off Main Avenue, reducing the need for police assistance. The event typically nets around $65,000 after expenses. Funds are generated through registration fees, sponsors, and member donations, supporting scholarships for women and girls, grants for women’s organizations, and leadership programs. The event includes a 2K for children aged 5 to 10, a 2K run/walk for all ages, shirts, medals, goodie bags for children, stroller baby tees, entertainment along the route, complimentary photos, and a Finish Fest with refreshments, vendors, and youth activities.
