10K preteky v blízkosti Prairie du Sac

The Haunted Hustle is a Halloween-themed race day held at KEVA Sports Center in Middleton, Wisconsin, with the start and finish lines at the same location. The event offers a half marathon, 10K, 5K, 5K dog jog, 5K walk, and a kid's run, suitable for runners, walkers, families, and participants with a dog. The race names reflect the theme, such as the Monster Dash, Haunted Half Marathon, Terror 10K, Run For Your Life 5K, Great Pup-Kin Run, and Zombie Walk 5K. The Middleton races begin in a sequence on a Saturday morning, starting with the kids' Monster Dash, followed by the longer and shorter distance races departing a few minutes apart. Costumes are encouraged, but standard running attire is also acceptable. The finish area features live music and refreshments, contributing to a Halloween festival atmosphere rather than a simple road race. A separate Haunted Hustle 5K run/walk takes place in Jefferson City, Missouri, with proceeds benefiting the Sneaker Project.

Birdie Derby is a Thanksgiving morning 10K run and 5K run/walk in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, starting at 5500 E. Cheryl Parkway. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and includes individual and team entries, untimed 5K walking options, virtual 5K and 10K choices, and a free 100-yard Kids Dash for ages 2 to 6 with a paid adult registration. The race complements Madison’s Thanksgiving routine: participants get active before the holiday meal, then receive a race bib, long-sleeved shirt or tech hoodie, knit hat, free photos, and Sportstats timing on a precisely measured course. Finish-line items include a Kwik Trip Glazer, chocolate milk, banana, water, and free Oasis Cafe coffee or hot chocolate before and after the race. All proceeds benefit a Wisconsin nonprofit and support Active Youth Wisconsin, which helps children become active by providing equipment and clothing.

Freeze for Food, dlhoročný pretek v Madisone, Wisconsin, sa koná pri Vilas Park Shelter na Vilas Park Drive. Na programe je 5K beh/chôdza na poludnie a 10K beh o 13:00, čo ti umožňuje ísť pešo, odbehnúť si jednu vzdialenosť, alebo sa prihlásiť na obe. Organizujú to RPCVs of Wisconsin-Madison a je to každoročná komunitná akcia so symbolickým štartovným. Pretek podporuje potravinovú bezpečnosť a spolupracuje s Open Doors for Refugees, čím prepája tento deň s miestnymi charitatívnymi aktivitami, nielen s časmi v cieli. Bežci a chodci sa stretávajú vo Vilas Parku, s možnosťou vyzdvihnúť si štartové číslo v deň pretekov pri prístrešku a s predčasným vyzdvihnutím v Movin' Shoes na South Park Street. Táto séria funguje už vyše 45 rokov, čím sa stala madisonskou zimnou tradíciou, ktorá sa zameriava na účasť, zbieranie peňazí a jednoduchý pretek v parku.
