The Oktoberfest 5K offers a memorable race experience.

The Families Run for Ovarian Cancer ROC Star 5k & 1-Mile Run/Walk takes place on a Sunday in October at Tower Grove Park. It features a timed 5k run/walk and a 1-mile fun run/walk. Participants unable to attend in person can select the ROC from Home option. Registration begins on World Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day. The event originated with the Jorgensen family, honoring Brenda, their wife, mother, and Nana, during her battle with ovarian cancer. The day aims to raise awareness for ovarian cancer, provide support for survivors, and commemorate those lost to the disease. Each registration includes a limited edition shirt, subject to availability. ROC from Home shirts will be mailed after the in-person event for an additional shipping fee.

The Great GO! St. Louis Halloween Race is a fall race weekend in Eureka, Missouri, focusing on Halloween costumes alongside finish times. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, 5K, or 1-mile fun run, accommodating those aiming for 13.1 miles, families on a short outing, and anyone seeking a costume-friendly race day.

The St. Louis Hot Cider Hustle is an October running event offering 5K and 10K distances, along with virtual 5K and 10K options for those who prefer to run elsewhere. Participants registered for the main races receive a race shirt, hot cider, a caramel apple, and a finisher mug, aligning with the event's name. The available facts do not list specific streets or landmarks on the course, but the format is clear: select the 5K or 10K distance, run it in person or virtually, and conclude with cider-themed giveaways. Families are welcome, as the event features an untimed 12-and-under kids' division that includes its own bib, mug, caramel apple, and hot apple cider.

Spooky Sprint St. Louis is a Halloween-themed running event in the St. Louis area offering distances for nearly all types of participants: a kids dash, untimed 1 mile, 5k, 10k, half marathon, virtual race, and a Volunteer then Run option. It is designed for families as much as runners aiming for a specific time, with youth pricing for the 5k and 10k and a free kids dash option for children not wanting the shirt and medal package. The in-person races begin together in the morning, with packet pickup beforehand and live results available post-race. The timed events use chip timing and include awards, while the 1 mile and kids dash remain low-pressure. Registrations typically include a custom bib, designer shirt, and finisher medal, with a mini bib and youth-sized shirt for the kids dash. Finish-line treats, free race photos, and the virtual option contribute to a casual holiday run atmosphere rather than a competitive race-day production.

Junior League of Saint Louis Cinnamon Roll 5K je ranná 5K-čka, ktorú si môžeš odbehnúť alebo prejsť s meraním času v Tower Grove Park v St. Louis. Štart je pri Sons of Rest Pavilion, blízko vchodu z Grand Avenue. Štartové balíčky si vieš vyzdvihnúť pred akciou v sídle Junior League v Kirkwood alebo ráno v deň pretekov priamo v parku. Aj keď je táto séria pretekov nová, celé je to o jednej dlhoročnej miestnej dobrote: domáce škoricové slimáky od JLSL, tradícia St. Louis už od 1940s. Všetci, čo dobehnú, dostanú škoricové slimáky, kávu a občerstvenie po pretekoch. Prví traja muži a ženy získajú medaily a tucet Junior League of STL škoricových slimákov. Na akcii je aj Detský „Fun Dough Dash“, 200-yardový beh pre deti od 2 do 10 rokov, pričom všetky malé deti, čo dobehnú, dostanú medailu. Výťažok z registrácie ide na podporu vzdelávania detí v St. Louis cez organizácie ako Girls Inc., Operation Food Search, LifewiseSTL a KidSmart, s cieľom vyzbierať $10,000. So psami nemôžeš prísť, takže je to celé o ľuďoch, koláčoch a behu v parku.

Eckert's Belleville Farm Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k is a Thanksgiving-themed 5k run/walk at Eckert's Belleville Farm in Belleville, Illinois. It is run annually, with chip timing for those seeking an official result and a relaxed setup for walkers or anyone primarily there for the farm and the wine. The course remains on the Belleville farm property, offering an orchard-and-farm landscape instead of city streets. Registration includes a race bib, a soft cotton T-shirt, a portable shatterproof wine glass, a wine-glass-shaped finisher medal, and a pour of wine. J3 Timing scores the race and posts results online. The event also highlights Eckert's focus on sustainable farming practices, including soil care, efficient use of farm resources, public health, and working conditions for farm laborers.

Coyote Crawl 5K a Head for the Hills 10K ti dajú na výber dve trate priamo v Bellefontaine Cemetery, čo je mimochodom prvé Level III Arborétum v Missouri. Tieto preteky s časomierou, kde musíš byť osobne na štarte, začínajú ráno a môžu sa ich zúčastniť len 250 bežcov, lebo je tam dosť problém s parkovaním. Ak nemôžeš prísť, máš aj virtuálnu možnosť – odbehneš si ktorúkoľvek vzdialenosť na vlastnej trase, kedykoľvek počas trvania akcie. Trasa vedie cez 314 akrov Bellefontaine, čo je historický Garden Cemetery západne od Mississippi a miesto, kde je pochovaných 87 000 ľudí. Pre tvoju bezpečnosť sú bicykle na trati zakázané. Ocenenia dostanú prví traja muži a ženy v každom závode. Celý výťažok ide na podporu iniciatív Friends of Bellefontaine, ako sú napríklad Angels Rest, ochrana historických pamiatok a vzdelávacie prehliadky.

The Saint Louis Half Marathon and 5K begins and ends at the Muny Festival Grounds in Forest Park, providing both races a focused starting and finishing area within one of St. Louis’s most utilized public parks. Organized by the St. Louis Track Club, this autumn road race features a half marathon and a 5K. It employs an open-start window following each official gun start, allowing runners to cross the start line individually rather than in a mass start. First held in 1980, it holds the distinction of being the longest-running half marathon in the St. Louis area. The event provides a traditional road race structure, prioritizing the competition over a festival atmosphere. All finishers receive custom medals, prize money is awarded to the top three male and female half marathon finishers, and age-group awards extend through 70+. Overall awards are also given to the top 5K runners. A virtual participation option is offered for those unable to attend Forest Park in person.

The Veterans Appreciation Run begins at 8:00 AM on Bank Street in New Port Richey, Florida, offering both 5K and 10K routes. This event welcomes participants of all ages, allowing them to approach it as a typical road race or as a significant physical test. The distinctive feature is the inclusion of Marine-style assessments alongside the run. Competitors have the opportunity to attempt the same evaluations used by United States Marines, such as the Combat Readiness Test and the Physical Fitness Test, under the supervision of actual Marines.

The St. Louis Turkey Trot 5K & 8K is a Thanksgiving morning run and walk in Downtown St. Louis, featuring a free half-mile youth race for kids 12 and under. It is designed for families and runners alike: strollers are permitted, wheelchair athletes begin just before the 5K field, and dogs are not allowed on the course. Participants are requested to bring canned food when picking up their race number; donations benefit Food Outreach, a St. Louis group providing nutritional support to individuals with cancer or HIV/AIDS. The downtown 5K incorporates sections of the route used by one of the nation's largest Thanksgiving parades. Runners will pass Citygarden, Busch Stadium, the Stifel Opera House, and Purina’s campus, finishing at Soldier’s Memorial with the Gateway Arch visible. The morning also offers a post-race pancake breakfast from Chris Cakes of St. Louis for 5K and kids-run participants. Swag options may include long-sleeve shirts, pom beanies, or gift cards, with unclaimed packet items given to charity partners.
