Under the Helmet 5k Run and Fun Run otvára rok v centre Brunswicku v Georgii. 5k štartuje o deviatej ráno, potom nasleduje kratší Fun Run/Walk. Štart aj cieľ sú blízko Queen’s Square, v okolí ulíc Mansfield a Newcastle. Trasa 5k vedie historickým Brunswickom predtým, než sa vráti do centra. Sú to skôr lokálne komunitné preteky, nie nejaké veľké podujatie, kam by sa cestovalo zďaleka. Na 5k sa udeľujú celkové ocenenia aj ocenenia pre vekové kategórie, a pre tých, čo sa prihlásia do polovice decembra, sú garantované tričká. Preteky organizuje Pilot Club of Brunswick, ktorý je členom Pilot International už od roku 1921. Názov „Under the Helmet“ súvisí s iniciatívami klubu v oblasti bezpečnosti mozgu. Ich program BrainMinders vzdeláva deti o prevencii úrazov mozgu cez bábkové predstavenia pre malých žiakov a projekt s prilbami, ktorý dáva bezplatné bezpečnostné prilby miestnej mládeži. Klub tiež pomáha opatrovateľom, Memory Matters, Memory Walks, a poskytuje štipendiá pre maturantov, ktorí chcú študovať medicínu. Preteky tak podporujú ich nepretržitú charitatívnu prácu v Brunswicku.

Run Jekyll je pretekový víkend na Jekyll Island, Georgia, kde si môžeš zabehnúť 5K, 10K, half marathon, alebo marathon. Preteky sú v januári, takže počasie na beh je príjemné, také chladnejšie – cez deň býva tak okolo 15-18°C a v noci klesne na nejakých 4-7°C. Môžeš si vybrať aj double-race možnosť, čo je fajn pre tých, čo si chcú dať len krátky beh po ostrove, alebo aj pre tých, čo hľadajú dvojdňovú výzvu. Trasy ti ukážu krásy ostrova: koruny starých dubov, slané močiare, otvorené výhľady na pláž, prírodné chodníčky a časti historickej štvrte Jekyll. Trať prechádza cez Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark, čo je rezortná oblasť spojená s veľkou rekonštrukčnou iniciatívou na juhovýchode Spojených štátov. Balíčky si vyzdvihneš v Jekyll Island Club Resort, čo pekne dopĺňa tú historickú ostrovnú atmosféru celého podujatia.

Run Rare 5k offers two participation options: the in-person Run Rare 5k and the Run Rare: Virtual Rarety 5K. Check-in begins at 9:30 AM, with the race commencing at 10:00 AM. This event welcomes participants of all ages and prioritizes rare-disease awareness over competitive finish times. Rarety, the nonprofit organizing the race, was established by Taylor, a student who has lived with a rare disease for years. Her personal medical history, which includes a week of study at the National Institute of Health, shapes the event's focus. The race serves to honor rare warriors whose experiences are often overlooked, particularly young individuals managing rare conditions.

Turtle Crawl is a spring race on Jekyll Island, Georgia, tied to the start of sea turtle nesting season on the Georgia coast. The event offers a beachside 10K, a beachside 5K, and a one-kilometer fun run, with morning starts from the race site on James Road. It is an annual fundraiser for the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, so the entry fee supports sea turtle rehabilitation, research, and education rather than just paying for a race shirt and timing mat. The event began as a fundraiser for the Center, and runners have raised more than $100,000 for sea turtle work. The Georgia Sea Turtle Center has cared for more than 3,000 patients, including sea turtles and other coastal wildlife. Families can join the short fun run, meet the Center’s mascot Scute C. Turtle, and stay after the races for Shell-e-brate, a family event with staff, educational activities, and animal ambassadors. Participants receive a commemorative shirt, age-group placers get medals, and supporters who cannot travel to Jekyll Island can still join through the virtual Ghost Crawler option.
