The Sardis Fire and Rescue Run is a 5K held at the former Riverview Golf Course, starting and finishing at the same location. Miles of Smiles Timing manages the chip timing, though the atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming runners, joggers, walkers, and pets. The course specifics are not detailed, but the event focuses on community backing over a complex route. Participants receive drinks and light refreshments post-race. Those registered by race day will get a Sardis Fire and Rescue Run T-shirt. All funds raised benefit the Sardis Volunteer Fire Department, supporting their volunteer efforts for the community.

The Pocono Mountains Marathon Race Festival is a fall running event held at Promised Land State Park in Greentown, Pennsylvania. The start and finish lines are located at the Upper Lake Overflow Parking Lot. Participants can select from a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon. The marathon is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier, with PA certification number 21011NP. The course winds through the state park during the fall foliage season, offering a wooded Pocono park running experience rather than city streets. Elite Feats organizes the event, and Mark Hughes is the race director. Awards are presented in male, female, and nonbinary categories, with age-group awards for nonbinary runners in the marathon, half marathon, and 10K. First-time half marathon and marathon finishers receive a commemorative plaque alongside their finisher medal. Registration includes a shirt, medal, and running socks.

The Veterans Trail Festival begins and ends at the Recreation Hall in Raccoon Creek State Park, near Hookstown, Pennsylvania. The event features a 5K run/hike and also offers 20-mile and 50K trail races, accommodating walkers, newer trail runners, and ultra runners on the same day. The 5K follows an out-and-back path with a water station at the midpoint. The 20-mile and 50K routes primarily use single-track trails, presenting rocks, roots, challenging footing, and steep inclines, which often lead to the typical finisher comment: “That was harder than I thought it would be.” The longer races include five aid stations and ham radio tracking. The event benefits veteran and military service members via the Outdoor Immersion Team; 5K participants can also engage in fundraising.

Oglebay Twinkle Trot 5K je sviatočný nočný beh v Oglebay v Wheeling, West Virginia. Koná sa počas tamojšieho Festival of Lights. Bežci aj chodci začínajú večer, štart aj cieľ je na Camp Russell Lane pri zoo. Wolf Creek Race Management zabezpečuje čipovú časomieru, ale na akcii sú vítaní naozaj všetci: skúsení bežci, začiatočníci, joggeri, chodci, deti aj špeciálni hostia. Trať ťa prevedie cez svetelnú výzdobu Oglebay, kde uvidíš milióny svetielok, sviatočné scény a bude hrať vianočná hudba. Všetci účastníci musia mať so sebou alebo na sebe vlastné svetlo pre lepšiu viditeľnosť. Veľa bežcov si ozdobí oblečenie svetielkami a zimnými motívmi. Okrem toho bude na akcii aj registrácia, výdaj štartových balíčkov, DJ, aktivity pre deti, parkovanie zadarmo a toalety pri štarte a cieli, takže to bude super rodinný sviatočný výlet.

Gobble Til We Wobble je 5K beh/chôdza, čo sa ide ráno na Deň vďakyvzdania v St. Clairsville, Ohio. Štart je o 9:00 ráno pri Central Park Amphitheater na Fair Street. Organizuje to St. Clairsville Recreation Department a je to taký komunitný sviatočný pretek, kde si bežci aj chodci dajú ten istý 5K, ešte predtým, ako sa pustia do svojich thanksgivingových plánov. Je to už štvrtý ročník a výťažok ide na podporu St. Clairsville Alumni Association cez miestne zbierky. Ak sa prihlásiš včas, dostaneš vyšívanú čiapku, čo sa na koniec novembra určite zíde. Medaily sú pre prvých troch celkovo (muži aj ženy), a potom aj pre prvých troch mužov a ženy v kategóriách, od 13-ročných a mladších až po 60-ročných a starších.
