5K preteky v blízkosti Columbiana

T-Town Turkey Trot je každoročný 5K beh alebo prechádzka v Toronto, Ohio, ktorý štartuje o ôsmej ráno z 408 N. River Ave. Je to nezmeraný fun run, takže je to ideálne pre chodcov, rodiny a bežcov, ktorí si chcú ráno na Deň vďakyvzdania len tak vybehnúť, namiesto pretekov s čipovou časomierou. Trasa vedie popri Ohio River, a na akcii sa zbierajú peniaze pre potravinovú banku Helping Hands of Toronto. Medaily dostanú traja najlepší muži a tri najlepšie ženy, tombola je sponzorovaná J.E. Foster Funeral Home, a odovzdávanie mincí je hneď po pretekoch. Turkey Trot je tiež súčasťou Gem City Quadfecta Challenge.

The Bobcats Turkey Trot 5K is a Thanksgiving morning run and walk organized by the Beaver Bobcats Girls Basketball program. It offers two choices: a chip-timed 5K for those seeking an official result, and an untimed 5K Fun Run/Walk for families, walkers, and participants treating it as a holiday outing. The event is in its 10th year and uses Wolf Creek Race Management for timing. Runners can pick up packets at Beaver Area High School before race day or on the morning of the event. Early registrants are guaranteed a moisture-wicking technical shirt in adult or youth sizes. The timed field starts first, followed a few minutes later by the untimed group.

Twas the Night Before 5K is a holiday-season 5K held in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens. The start and finish are located near the Queens Theater. The main race follows a USATF certified 5-kilometer course. Families can also include a free Kiddie Dash for younger participants. A virtual 5K option is available for those preferring to run on their own schedule rather than in the in-person event. The course consists of one loop through the park, passing the Unisphere twice and circling the Fountain of the Planets. This route offers participants two views of a prominent Queens landmark. Finishers will receive a medal ornament and a "Twas’ the Night" shirt, adding a seasonal element to the race. The format remains straightforward: a park 5K, a kids’ dash, hydration at the finish, sponsor refreshments, and essential race-day support near the finish line.

The YMCA Santa Run 5k & 10k Run is a holiday-season run in Beaver, Pennsylvania. The start is beside the Beaver Fire station on Market Street, and the finish is at Irvine Park. It includes a timed 5k Santa Run, a 10k Santa Run, and a One-Mile Fun Run, suitable for runners seeking a full effort and families wanting a short December outing in Christmas attire. The 10k follows the same loop twice, while the shorter events are simpler and accessible. Roads are not closed for the race, so participants should expect an open-road community run, not a sealed-off course. Proceeds support youth feeding programs in Beaver County, and the Santa hats and Christmas outfits provide the local holiday atmosphere.

Run Santa Run 5K & Reindeer Ramble is a December holiday run based at Louisville High School in Louisville, Ohio, a short drive from Canton. The morning starts with a 400-meter Reindeer Ramble for kids or short-distance participants, followed by a chip-timed 5K run/walk from the front of the high school. It is a festive community race rather than a serious road-racing showcase, with hundreds of runners and walkers encouraged to show up in holiday outfits. The 5K uses an out-and-back course from the high school, so the setup is simple for runners, walkers, families, and spectators. GCXC Racing organizes the event, and the registration extras lean hard into the holiday theme: 5K entrants get a fleece blanket, finisher medal, Santa hat, custom bib, and swag bag, while Reindeer Ramble entrants get a medal, custom bib, and reindeer item. Early packet pickup is held at UnHitched Brewing Company, with race-day pickup and registration inside the school.

Pat Campbell Fighting Cancer 5K je beh a chôdza na víkend svätého Patrika v Toronto, Ohio. Štartuje sa na North River Avenue, blízko Ohio River. Beh začína chvíľu pred chôdzou a prihlásiť sa dá aj ráno v deň pretekov. Je to akcia pre bežcov aj chodcov, nie len pre tých, čo idú na čas a chcú súťažiť. Podporuje to onkologických pacientov v celom Ohio Valley, ktorí potrebujú pomoc, a všetky vyzbierané peniaze idú na podporu jednotlivcov a rodín, čo prechádzajú liečbou rakoviny. Trať vedie popri Ohio River, má certifikáciu USATF a čas je meraný profesionálne. Takže je to super pre tých, čo si chcú dať rýchlu 5K na začiatku sezóny, alebo len tak bežia pre dobrú vec. Odporúča sa prísť v zelenom alebo v kiltoch. Na akcii bude živá hymna, color guard, jedlo, hudba a tombola s cenami 'Irish Blessings'. Ceny dostanú najlepší muži a ženy celkovo a tiež prví v každej vekovej kategórii. Každý účastník do 12 rokov dostane medailu. Od roku 2010 preteky prispeli už vyše $273,000 do Ohio Valley Fighting Cancer Fund, čo je registrovaná charita 501(c)(3).

Druhý ročník Sole to City ti ponúkne ikonický beh cez Mill Creek Park, s cieľom v centre mesta. Deti do 12 rokov si môžu zabehnúť trať v centre úplne zadarmo. Po pretekoch bude afterparty s oslavnou zónou v Penguin City Brewing.
