Lance's Legacy 5K and Fun Run is a fundraising run in Dalton, Georgia, starting from 652 Haig Mill Lake Road. It offers a 5K and a fun run, with a $30 registration fee for runners supporting the cause. The event is organized by Lance's Legacy, a nonprofit created in memory of Lance Sotelo, a runner from the Dalton and Charlotte running communities who died while out on a run. The race is held on Lance's birthday and raises money for scholarships for high school and college runners. These scholarships are for athletes who show perseverance, acceptance, and love, the qualities his family chose to carry forward through the nonprofit. The day also includes a live DJ, food vendors, inflatables, and awards, structured as both a community fundraiser and a family-friendly race day.

The Apple Festival 5K takes place in Ellijay, Georgia, on the morning of the Georgia Apple Festival. It includes a 5K, a one-mile fun run, and a virtual 5K option. The Ellijay Lions Club organizes this event, which is one of Georgia's longest-running 5Ks. The race details reflect a local event rather than a large-scale production. BT Race Timing manages the results, but chip timing is not used; finishers submit a card with their name, age, bib number, and gender. Awards are given to overall winners, masters, grand masters, and in five-year age groups from 10-and-under up to 80-and-over. Refreshments are available post-race, and free parking is offered around Ellijay Elementary School before festival road closures commence.

Marigold Miles 5K: Día de los Muertos Run is a 5K in Downtown Los Angeles incorporating Day of the Dead traditions. Thousands of families and friends gather to run, walk, and remember departed loved ones. The event supports the Olvera Street Merchants Association Foundation, which funds traditional, historical, cultural, and educational events connected to Olvera Street. The race begins on Main Street within El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, the city's oldest area and Olvera Street's location. The course travels through lower Chinatown and passes Los Angeles State Historic Park. Before the start, traditional Aztec dancers conduct a purification ceremony; around the course, participants paint their faces like skulls and place marigolds, candles, photos, and memorabilia on altars, including an official Community Altar. Following the finish, the festival proceeds with mariachi bands, folkloric dance groups, and stilt walkers, and the top three finishers in each gender category are awarded hand-painted skull trophies.

Cleveland Turkey Trot sú preteky, ktoré sa bežia ráno na Deň vďakyvzdania v Greenway Parku v Cleveland, Tennessee. Najprv štartuje 5K s čipovou časomierou, krátko po ňom je potom nesúťažný 1-mile fun run/walk. Terra Running Company to organizuje, a prihlásiť sa dá ešte aj ráno pred štartom, až tesne pred ním. To je super pre tých, čo si chcú len tak zabehať cez sviatky, aj pre bežcov, ktorí chcú mať zaznamenaný čas z 5K. Trasa 5K štartuje a končí v Greenway Parku. Je to out-and-back trasa, ide sa na juh po Greenway smerom k Willow Street. Preteky presunuli do Greenway Parku, aby sa tam zmestilo viac ľudí, keďže v minulosti už bolo aj cez 600 účastníkov. Na trati sú povolené kočíky a psy, ale musia štartovať vzadu, lebo bežci idú oboma smermi. Zbierka jedla pre Chattanooga Area Food Bank zbiera dary v rámci Bradley County. Preteky tiež dodržiavajú miestnu tradíciu: kto sa prihlási skoro, dostane beanie čiapku, a prvá skupina, ktorá sa zaregistruje, dostane zapečatené obálky s cenami, ktoré sa otvoria neskôr v Terra Running Company.

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.

The Kyle Pease Foundation Blue Ridge Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day race/walk in downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia. It is built for the whole family, with room for walkers, first-timers, and serious competitors on the same holiday-morning start line. The event keeps the schedule simple: get out, move through town, and still make it home in time to put the turkey in the oven. That makes it less like an all-day racing production and more like a local Thanksgiving ritual that can fit before the rest of the family plans.
