The Almond Bowl is a Chico 5K and 10K run in Lower Bidwell Park, a long-running local tradition with early morning starts. The 5K begins at 8:00 a.m., followed by the 10K at 8:10, allowing runners to choose a shorter park race or a longer one on the same morning. Both races start on South Park Drive and finish near Sycamore Field. The event supports local high school cross-country teams and band programs, with extra donations accepted during registration. The entry includes a bib, a race shirt from Upper Park Clothing, and post-race snacks. Packet pickup and any in-person registration are handled at Fleet Feet Chico.

The Yuba-Sutter Turkey Trot starts and finishes at Riverbend Elementary on Stewart Road in Yuba City, California. It is a Thanksgiving-season community run/walk with both 5k and 10k options, and both distances start in the morning after sign-in. Runners and walkers choose the shorter 5k or the longer 10k, so the event works for families, casual participants, and people who want a bit more distance. The race benefits Hands of Hope, and early registrants are guaranteed a unisex short-sleeve T-shirt.
