Budds Creek Turkey Trot 5k, 10k, & Half sú novembrové preteky, ktoré sa konajú v Budds Creek Motorsports Park na Budds Creek Road v Mechanicsville, Maryland. Na týchto pretekoch máš na výber z troch tratí: klasická 5K a 10K, plus polmaratón pre tých, čo si chcú zabehnúť niečo dlhšie, než býva zvykom na takýchto sviatočných behoch. Čo je na týchto pretekoch zaujímavé, je to netradičné prostredie – beží sa v motorsports parku namiesto klasických mestských ulíc, okruhov v parku alebo školských areálov. Organizátorom je Bishop's Events a kontaktná osoba je Travis Bishop. Podľa informácií je Budds Creek jedno z novších miest, kde organizujú svoje Turkey Trot behy. Dá sa ísť aj virtuálne, pričom máš na výber: s medailou, bez medaily a trička, alebo aj s medailou, aj s tričkom.

Krampus Krawl ti každý rok dáva šancu zabehnúť si na Maryland International Raceway v Mechanicsville, Maryland, namiesto toho, aby si tam len pozeral autá. Sú tam aj 5K aj 10K, beží sa to jedného decembrového rána a štart je o 9:45 AM Eastern. Organizátor je Bishop’s Events a kontaktná osoba je Travis Bishop. Hlavné je to, kde sa beží: trať využíva pretekársku dráhu na Budds Creek Road, takže si to hlavne užiješ na trati a asfalte, namiesto nejakej parkovej cestičky alebo okruhu po sídlisku. Poplatky za registráciu na mieste sa líšia podľa vzdialenosti a stúpajú, čím bližšie je deň pretekov. Môžeš sa zúčastniť aj virtuálne, s možnosťami, že dostaneš medailu, alebo bez medaily či trička, alebo s medailou aj tričkom, keď je taký balíček dostupný.
