FoDU 5K for Hope je 5-kilometrový beh, čo sa beží vo Vanderburgh County 4H Center v Evansville. Štart je o 9:00 ráno, v jednu októbrovú sobotu. Vyzdvihnutie štartových balíčkov v deň pretekov začína o 8:00, a parkovanie je zadarmo priamo na mieste. Akcia je pre bežcov, chodcov, rodiny aj tých s kočíkmi. Na trati je jedna občerstvovačka, a v cieli bude aj Gatorade. Ceny dostanú najrýchlejší muž a žena, a výsledky pretekov zverejnia po akcii. FoDU túto akciu organizuje, aby podporilo a pomohlo deťom v Ugande. Súčasťou dňa je aj malá tichá aukcia, kde sa budú dražiť balíčky darčekových kariet, takže sa zbierajú peniaze aj mimo 5K.

Franklin Street Beer Fun je akcia pre ľudí od 21 rokov, kde si na Franklin Street v Evansville, Indiana môžeš zabehnúť, prejsť sa alebo sa aj doplaziť. Štartuje sa pri LeRoys na Mt Vernon Avenue a celé sa to odohráva v sobotu poobede v októbri, pričom sa namiesto naháňania za časom presúvaš medzi šiestimi barmi. Celá trasa je postavená na pivných zastávkach: v každom zo šiestich barov dostaneš jedno pivo a LeRoys je zároveň aj posledná zastávka. V štartovnom máš tričko z akcie a finišerskú medailu, takže je to skôr taký spoločenský bar crawl v bežeckých teniskách ako klasický cestný pretek.

The Evansville Zombie 5K Run/Walk starts at Wesselman Park with a survival-game setup: reach the Red Cross outpost, collect the code, and return before the zombies get you. Martial Hearts hosts this 5K for ages 12 and up. The race begins in the late afternoon and has a Halloween theme, focusing on a zombie apocalypse rather than a typical road race. The route goes between Wesselman Woods and the local Red Cross outpost before returning to Wesselman Woods. It uses paved surfaces, wooded trails, and fenced areas. Volunteer zombies, age 16 or older, wear their own zombie gear and attempt to tag participants' shirts with fake blood. Runners should wear clothes that can get messy. Parents must accompany children. After the finish, participants receive snacks and water. A Wesselman Woods Halloween party follows, with a blood splatter wall and optional face painting available through the organizer. Partial proceeds benefit Wesselman Woods and Martial Hearts, a nonprofit that helps cover youth martial arts costs and provides free self-defense training for women.

RYR Endurance Race Weekend je každoročný pretek, čo sa koná v Owensboro, Kentucky, a kde si môžeš vybrať maratón, polmaratón, 50K ultra, 10K a 5K, rozložené na dva dni. Štruktúra maratónu je zaujímavá: v sobotu je maratón s 9-hodinovým limitom a potom v nedeľu je súťažný maratón pre tých, čo chcú získať Boston qualifier alebo si vylepšiť osobný rekord. Obidva maratóny idú po tej istej USATF-certifikovanej trati, čo je zároveň prvá certifikovaná maratónska a polmaratónska trať v oblasti. Trať je viacokruhová, tam a späť, po asfaltovej greenway s minimálnym prevýšením. Vedie popri potoku, prechádza okolo dvoch jazier a cez zalesnené úseky. Vďaka tomuto okruhovému dizajnu môžu diváci vidieť bežcov viackrát z jedného miesta a bežci majú k dispozícii štandardné občerstvovačky aj vlastné podporné stoly. Sobotný maratón ide po rovnakej trati ako polmaratón a 50K, kým nedeľný maratón má obmedzený počet účastníkov a beží sa samostatne. Všetci účastníci dostanú tričko, všetci, čo dobehnú do cieľa, dostanú poriadnu medailu a celý zisk ide na podporu Wendell Foster Center.

The Wendell Foster Half Marathon & 5K weekend is based in Owensboro, Kentucky. The race expo and check-in are held at the Owensboro Convention Center prior to race day. Runners collect bibs and shirts at the expo, which also features running gear, local vendors, hydration and nutrition products, photo opportunities, local organizations, and supporters of Wendell Foster. While Friday expo attendance is optional, all participants must check in before the race; early check-in helps reduce race-day lines. The 5K begins and ends at Smothers Park on the Owensboro riverfront, located at 199 West Veterans Boulevard. This race is open to all ages and suitable for walkers, joggers, novice racers, families, friends, and competitive runners. The event benefits Wendell Foster, and the 5K concludes with an official after-party at Goodwood.

Victory Races hosts a marathon, half marathon, and 5K within Vermillion Rise Mega Park, a former secret military munitions compound in Vermillion County. The marathon and half marathon courses are flat, traffic-free, and USATF-certified, making them suitable for runners aiming for national qualifying standards or a Boston Marathon qualifier. The 5K offers a shorter option to run through the same distinctive location. The route crosses grounds once used for supplying explosives during World War II and storing military weapons through the early and mid-1900s. The site now supports local industry, with remnants of military ruins and old manufacturing facilities still visible on the property. The race acknowledges this history through military-themed shirts, unique bib numbers, and custom finisher medals, while providing discounts for veterans and students from Vermillion and Parke counties. Proceeds benefit the Vermillion Trails Alliance, dedicated to expanding trail and recreation options in Vermillion County.
