The Jackass Half Marathon & 5K is an annual Silver Valley Chamber race in northern Idaho. Both distances are run point-to-point on the paved Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, starting in historic Wallace and finishing in Uptown Kellogg. The mostly downhill profile makes it approachable for newer runners while still offering a course where faster racers can push their pace. The route follows the Coeur d'Alene River and runs through the foothills of the Silver Valley, presenting a mountain-valley trail setting rather than a city road race. The event began in 2020 and was voted Best Half Marathon in Idaho, indicating a strong local reputation that may exceed its small-town footprint.

The Sekani-ish Trail Run is a fall dirt-trail event in Spokane, Washington, based around Minnehaha Park and Camp Sekani Park.

The courses stay on dirt trails, and the 10k climbs about 1,000 feet. The route goes over Beacon Hill, with views of the Spokane River and the Spokane skyline, and the event has used all-dirt courses since 2009. It is organized entirely by volunteers, finishers receive commemorative shirts, and proceeds support Franklin Elementary School's APPLE Program.
