The Tapping of the Great Pumpkin is a Halloween-themed race day in Spring House, Pennsylvania, held at the Great Pumpkin Venue on Sumneytown Pike. The event offers several distances: a 10K, a 5K, a 2 Mile Fun Run/Walk, and the Lil' Pumpkin Kids Run, approximately one-third of a mile. It takes place on a Saturday near Halloween, with the kids' race starting first, followed shortly by the longer races. Over 1,000 runners and walkers are anticipated, and the event typically sells out. The day embraces its pumpkin-and-costume theme, differing from a standard road race. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes, with a contest held after the races. The post-race gathering features food from Penna's Italian Market for those with bibs, and a complimentary beer from Well Crafted Beer Company for participants over 21 with bibs. Awards and costume contest winners are announced at the party, connecting the finish line directly to the social aspect of the event.

The course winds through Historic Bethlehem and the Moravian Church Settlements, providing a view of one of the city’s historic districts. Dogs are welcome and participate in a pet costume contest, which is held alongside a general costume contest for runners and walkers in holiday or race-themed attire. Awards are presented for individual and group costumes, with judging criteria including creativity, pet-and-handler pairings, and adherence to the Turkey Trot theme. Proceeds from the race benefit Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites, supporting preservation efforts and educational programs on local history spanning three centuries.

Superbowl Tailgate Trot 10K štartuje aj končí pri klubovni Lehigh Valley Road Runners v Lehigh Parkway, Allentown. Tento 10K pretek sa beží na Super Bowl nedeľu ráno a máš naň limit dve hodiny. Bežať môžu už od 10 rokov. Už od roku 2002 je to taký predzápasový rituál pre tých, čo si chcú odbehnúť ešte predtým, než začnú futbalové oslavy. Trať vedie cez Lehigh Parkway a priľahlé štvrte, pričom niektoré úseky zdieľaš s miestnou premávkou. Aj keď križovatky pozdĺž Lehigh Parkway East budú mať zátarasy, miestni obyvatelia tadiaľ môžu prejsť. Takže nezabudni, že počas pretekov musíš dodržiavať dopravné predpisy. Súťaží sa vo vekových kategóriách, Masters a celkovom poradí. Najlepší muži a ženy dostanú peňažné ceny, kým víťazi vekových kategórií si odnesú darčekové poukážky z miestnych bežeckých obchodov. Na akcii sa zbierajú aj potravinové dary pre Allentown Rescue Mission, konkrétne prosia o cereálie, konzervovanú zeleninu/ovocie, kávu, cukor, bujón a marinara omáčku.

Ide o beh/prechádzku, ktorou chceme bojovať proti stigme a zvyšovať povedomie o duševnom zdraví. Trasa je väčšinou rovinatá a rýchla, vedie po asfaltkách cez lokálne štvrte. Štart aj cieľ sú pri Northampton Community College’s Bethlehem Campus. Je to pre skúsených bežcov aj pre tých, čo si chcú len tak zabehať alebo prejsť. Vítaní sú aj chodci, kočíky a domáci miláčikovia na vodítku, ale tí štartujú za bežcami. Poďme spoločne zvýšiť povedomie a bojovať proti stigme – krok za krokom!
