The Spooky Sprint in Caledonia, Michigan, southeast of Grand Rapids, is a Halloween-themed running event held annually at Caledonia High School. It offers a variety of race options, including a kids dash, an untimed 1-mile run, a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and a virtual race. A unique 'Volunteer then Run' entry is also available, allowing families and runners of all distances to participate together. The 5K, 10K, and half marathon feature chip timing, live results, awards, a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. The 1-mile run, though untimed, includes the main race's merchandise. The kids dash is designed for children 10 and under, providing a mini bib, youth shirt, and kids medal; children can participate in the dash without charge on race day if they forgo the swag. Finish-line treats and complimentary participant photos enhance the Halloween atmosphere, and the virtual race allows participation from any location while still receiving the shirt and medal.

The Tamarac Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning 5K race beginning at Tamarac City Hall in Tamarac, Florida. This city-sponsored event has a history spanning over forty years and attracts a wide range of local participants, not exclusively competitive athletes. Runners, walkers, wheelchair users, families, novices, and age-group competitors are welcome, with recent participation numbering around 2,500 individuals. The route follows a straightforward 5K from the City Hall starting point, with the event focused on both completion and community involvement. Participants wearing a bib receive a medal, the initial 2,000 registered individuals obtain a commemorative shirt, and awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers overall, as well as age-group victors. The morning program also features live music, fitness-related vendors, and door prizes, functioning as a holiday gathering alongside the race.

Twisted Trail is a Black Friday trail race held at Ken-O-Sha in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It offers 5K, 10K, 15K distances, and a free 1-mile option. All participants begin together in the morning. The longer races utilize a 5K loop: one lap for the 5K, two for the 10K, and three for the 15K. The start, finish, and packet pickup are located at Calvary Baptist Church on 28th Street SE. The course follows hidden trails alongside Plaster Creek, featuring narrow singletrack mountain bike paths and wooden bridges instead of wide park routes. This design favors runners over strollers, particularly if snow is present. Organizers suggest leaving dogs at home because of the trail's confined nature. The free mile is available for those seeking a shorter run, while the timed races feature age groups from 9 and under to 70+, with awards for overall winners and top finishers in each age group. Registered runners receive shirts if they sign up by the guarantee deadline.
