Runtoberfest is a fall-themed 5K run/walk in McMinnville, beginning and ending at McMinnville High School’s Wortman Stadium. The event includes a Kid’s Mile for children 12 and under, designed for families and regular runners alike.

The Eola Hills "No Hills" 5K/10K is a road race held in November in Rickreall, Oregon, offering both 5K and 10K distances. The start is located at 501 S Pacific Hwy W, grounding the event in small-town Polk County rather than a large metropolitan area. The name highlights the primary appeal: participants can select a short or long distance without facing a demanding uphill course. While public race listings provide limited course specifics, one participant gave both the course and organization a perfect 5.0 rating, describing it as a race they greatly enjoyed.

The Ann Arbor Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day fun run and walk in Ann Arbor, Michigan, featuring a 5K and a non-timed Tot Trot 1K. The 5K is chip-timed, provides official results and award eligibility, and is suitable for families as well as runners aiming for a specific time. The 1K offers younger children their own short race, ensuring the morning is inclusive for all ages and running abilities. The event embraces the holiday spirit: participants often wear costumes, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies at the finish, and can take photos with Turkey Tom and Santa. Runners, walkers, and crawlers are welcome, reflecting the day's relaxed atmosphere. Each entry includes a finisher medal, and a portion of the entry fee benefits the ChadTough Foundation, with options for additional donations during registration.

Jingle Bell 5k Relay je decembrový beh v Riverfront Parku v Salem, Oregon, ktorý sa začína podvečer. Bežci tam odbehnú 5 kilometrov tak, že krúžia 1k okruh v rámci Holiday Light Display, buď individuálne, alebo ako štafeta. Tímy môžu byť jednočlenné alebo viacčlenné – čiže si to môžeš zabehnúť sám/sama všetkých päť okruhov, alebo sa podeliť s kamošmi. Namiesto klasického kolíka si v štafete odovzdávajú svetielkujúcu tyčinku, čo sa super hodí k tej vianočnej výzdobe. Organizujú to Fleet Feet a štartovné za tím je $10.
