The Reservoir Dogs Trail Run is an October trail race held at San Pablo Reservoir, located near Orinda in the East Bay. All race distances commence and conclude at the San Pablo Reservoir Visitor Center. Participants can select from 5K, 10K, half marathon, or 35K distances. The event has a participant cap of approximately 300 individuals across all races. Inside Trail Racing organizes this event. The longer distances feature a 6.5-hour time limit, maintaining the structure of a genuine trail race as opposed to a casual reservoir run. The course's distinctive feature is its complete circuit around Briones Reservoir using EBMUD trails, incorporating segments typically accessible only with permits. Expect a mix of moderately technical dirt paths, open fire roads, undulating hills, wooded single-track, winding single and double-track sections, exposed ridgelines, and expansive vistas of the watershed. The 10K, half marathon, and 35K races involve less elevation gain compared to many other Inside Trail events, allowing for faster times while still providing road runners with a true trail challenge. Aid stations are equipped with gels, trail mix, salty snacks, fruit, Coke, and Stroopwafels; however, participants must carry their own water between stations. Finishers receive a tech shirt and a medal, age-group victors are awarded trophies, and one participant receives the unique "Dead Last Finisher" award. Notably, dogs are prohibited despite the race's name.

SKECHERS Wicked Wine Run Napa Valley Fall Date je bežecko-chodecká akcia vo vinárstve Sunrise Ranch Winery v American Canyon, blízko južného konca Napa Valley. Máš na výber 5K Wicked Wine Run, 1K Wine Walk, alebo kombinovanú možnosť pre tých, čo si chcú dať oboje.

This Halloween-season run/walk is hosted by the Winters Runners and Walkers Club Charity as part of the three-day Winters Harvest Festival. It includes a 10K, a 5K, and a 1 Mile Kids Monster Dash and adult run/walk. The 10K starts first, the 5K follows, and the 1 Mile event goes later, allowing for both timed runners and families with children.

Finishers receive race bibs, custom tech tees, and medals. 5K and 10K finishers also receive free Hooby's Beverages.

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.

The Concord California Turkey Trot 5K begins at Newhall Park at 8 AM on Thanksgiving morning. This 5K run/walk in Concord, California, offers a family registration option, a charity entry, and a separate Kids Run presented by Liberty Gymnastics. The event supports Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa, directly linking the holiday race to a local food-service nonprofit. The 5K course incorporates grass fields, park pathways, and city streets, creating a mixed-surface park run rather than a flat road-only race. Strollers and pets are permitted, though participants with them should begin at the rear to allow timed runners a clear start. All 5K participants receive a tech shirt and a medal. Children aged two and under may ride in a stroller without paid registration. The Kids Run is situated near the 5K start and finish at Newhall Community Park, featuring check-in and a group warm-up prior to a brief morning run for children.

The Beer City Half Santa Rosa begins at A Place to Play in Santa Rosa, California, offering a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1-mile Beer Stroll on the same morning. The event centers on running and local beer, with finishers receiving a shirt, a Key to Beer City medal, a custom tasting glass, and unlimited tastings until noon from Santa Rosa and Sonoma County brewers. The longer races follow the Santa Rosa Creek, showcasing a less-traveled section of the city, while the Beer Stroll remains near A Place to Play. Following the main races, the Beat the Beast Beer Mile challenges runners against a Beer City Beast; if caught, the runner is eliminated. The afternoon continues at Moonlight Brewing with the Shindig, featuring music by School of Rock Santa Rosa, food trucks, games, and a first beer included with entry. The Beermazing Race introduces a pub-challenge element, sending teams to visit five brewers between early and late afternoon, with limited capacity noted by organizers as a reason for potential sell-outs.

Victory begins at the historic Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, California, sending runners onto the Richmond Bay Trail along San Francisco Bay. The series includes a half marathon, 10k, and 5k, allowing participants to select anything from a short bayfront run to a longer, flat road course. The courses are flat and fast, suitable for beginners and those aiming for a personal record. The route follows the San Francisco Bay Trail, offering open views across the bay toward the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, and Mt. Tamalpais. The race name references Richmond’s World War II home front history, when hundreds of ships, including Victory ships, were built in the area, and the nearby Ford assembly plant shifted from car production to military vehicles. Runners can also combine this with the Breeze to Victory race for the B2V Double, receiving a combined “mega medal” with a special middle piece for completing both events.

The Artesa Wine Run 5k is a timed 5k held at Artesa Vineyards & Winery on Henry Road in Napa, approximately one hour from San Francisco.

J3 Timing manages the race timing, with results available online. Some registration options include assisting with check-in prior to the run.
