The Run for Education is a spring 5K, 10K, and Kids Fun Run held in El Segundo, California. Its purpose, reflected in the name, is to raise funds for the city’s K-12 public schools. The El Segundo PTA Council organizes the event, which is now in its fourth decade. The 5K and 10K courses are USATF-certified, winding through downtown El Segundo and adjacent neighborhoods. These routes offer a measured course for competitive runners and a straightforward local path for casual participants. The field comprises competitive racers, joggers, walkers, families, and children. Age-group medals are awarded to the top three finishers in the 5K and 10K, with medals given to all participants who finish a race.

Boundary Bay is a late-fall race series held at Boundary Bay Park, Centennial Beach in Delta, British Columbia, offering 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and 4-person marathon relay distances. The marathon is presented as a final opportunity for runners aiming for a Boston qualifying time, featuring a straightforward course: a completely flat gravel oceanside trail with no elevation gain. All distances follow an out-and-back route along British Columbia's southern coast, allowing participants to run beside Boundary Bay instead of through city streets. The course offers views across the Salish Sea towards the San Juan Islands, with migratory birds present and ocean weather as the primary variable. The race supports Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon. Organizers acknowledge the late-season timing by advising runners to dress warmly, bring dry clothes, and appreciate the clock-change weekend that may provide an extra hour of sleep.

Western Pacific is a Brazen Racing event in Fremont, California, offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances. All three races begin and end at Quarry Lakes. The event welcomes runners, walkers, and hikers, not exclusively those aiming for a fast time. The course is largely flat and fast, with enough dirt and gravel to offer a trail-like feel rather than a road race. The route follows the Western Pacific Trail, a path with historical significance. In the 1800s, it transported gravel for the western portion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The 10K and half marathon extend along the Alameda Creek Trail. The majority of the running occurs on dirt fire trails, interspersed with gravel sections and a brief paved segment. Volunteers staff the race, participants receive complimentary photos, and sponsors contribute to keeping entry fees affordable.

Diablo Trails Challenge starts and finishes at Castle Rock Recreation Area in Diablo Foothills Regional Park in Walnut Creek, with Mount Diablo as the main playground. Brazen Racing hosts the trail-running series, which offers a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and 50K, so the same event can suit a first trail race or a long day out for experienced ultra-runners. All races are professionally timed, finishers receive medals, and the event is part of the Ultra Half Series. The longer routes reach well beyond Castle Rock, linking parkland such as Round Valley, Los Vaqueros Watershed, Morgan Territory, Mount Diablo State Park, and Shell Ridge Open Space before returning to the start area. The half marathon is listed as a 13.5-miler and includes hill climbing, quick descents, and runnable rolling sections. The race also serves a local conservation purpose: it raises money for Save Mount Diablo, with part of every entry fee going to the group. Save Mount Diablo has spent more than 50 years preserving and expanding open space around the mountain, helping grow protected land from 6,788 acres to more than 120,000 acres.
