Captain "D" Dash for "Sight" is a 5K run/walk in Belton, Texas, hosted by the Belton Lions Club to start LIONS on the LEON. It begins in the morning from the parking lot by the soccer fields and is designed for participation rather than competition: the event is not officially timed, though participants may track their own times using Run Sign-up. The route proceeds down Park Avenue, circles through the neighborhood, and returns along Park Avenue to the Heritage Park parking lot, where awards and photos are part of Picnic in the Park. Awards are given to adult men and women, boys and girls age 11 and under, and the best pirate costumes, with first through third places in each category. Registered 5K participants receive a custom commemorative spinner medal, and entrants also get a "Booty" Bag plus a bib raffle entry.

Dejiskom pre Haunted 5K, 10K, & 13.1M je James Wilson Park a Crossroads Recreational Complex. Zaparkuj, nájdi tenisové kurty, vyzdvihni si štartový balíček a môžeš vyraziť. Ide hlavne o pohodové halloweenske behanie po ceste, žiadne strašidelné divadlo. Trať je asfaltová a je tam dosť organizácie, aby to bolo v pohode bežecké podujatie.

Rotary Monster Dash sa koná v októbri na 1501 E FM 2410 v Harker Heights, Texas. Sú tam 5K preteky a Little Monster Dash pre deti, oba štartujú ráno. Tieto preteky sú súčasťou CENTEX Race Series a na 5K sú individuálne ocenenia. Preteky sú ladené do Halloweenu, takže je tam súťaž o najlepší kostým pre deti. Účastníci Little Monster Dash dostanú goody bag. Štartovné je $25 za 5K a $5 za detský beh. Výťažok ide na podporu lokálnych projektov Rotary klubu a iniciatívy Rotary International na vykorenenie detskej obrny, takže to spája preteky s komunitnou službou a globálnym zdravotným úsilím.

CASA Color Run je 5K pretek vo Waco, Texas, a zároveň pretek číslo 3 z Waco Run Tour. Štartuje sa ráno, je to color-run a je to robené pre bežcov aj chodcov všetkých úrovní, nie len pre tých, čo naháňajú rýchly čas. Štartovné na 5K je 35 dolárov a každý účastník dostane dri-fit tričko a k tomu tretiu medailu zo série Waco Run Tour. Výťažok z preteku ide pre CASA of McLennan County, ktorá hľadá, trénuje a podporuje dobrovoľníkov, čo sa zastávajú detí v pestúnskej starostlivosti. Beží sa za každého počasia, ale ak by bolo veľmi zlé, presunie sa to na virtuálnu 5K. Ak sa niekto prihlási a nemôže prísť, jeho platba aj tak ide pre CASA McLennan County, čiže charitatívna časť ostáva dôležitá, aj keď sa plány na deň preteku zmenia.

Chupacabra Trail Run v Copper Breaks State Park, blízko Quanah, Texas, vedie bežcov po tráve, skalách, pieskovci a single-track chodníkoch.

Občerstvovačky poskytujú teplé aj studené jedlo, snacky, vodu, elektrolyty, pickle juice a ľad.

Jingle Bell Dash je sviatočná 5K v Killeen, Texas. Štart je pri Killeen Community Center a beží sa po Andy K. Wells Hike & Bike Trail. Akcia začína ráno s novým štartom aj cieľom.

Pretek je zaradený do Centex Race Series, takže body do série zbierajú všetci účastníci, nielen tí najlepší. Medaily dostanú celkoví víťazi medzi ženami a mužmi a v kategóriách sa rozdávajú medaily pre prvé tri ženy a troch mužov. Prvých 200 bežcov, čo sa prihlásia vopred, má isté tričko, ale nejaké tričká budú k dispozícii aj v deň pretekov.

The Moose & Goose Wine Run 5k is a chip-timed 5K run or walk held at Moose & Goose Winery in Temple, Texas. The race begins in the morning, and J3 Timing provides online results. This annual winery race is based on a straightforward concept: complete the 5K, then stay for a pour of Moose & Goose’s handcrafted fruit wine. The course begins and ends at the winery, keeping the event contained within the property rather than following a point-to-point route. Families are welcome, and walkers can participate alongside runners. The event embraces its winery setting with goats present, a shatterproof wine glass provided to registrants, and a finisher medal that also functions as a wine stopper. Registration includes a T-shirt, race bib, chip timing, posted results, and a wine pour post-run.
