The HPWC Orphan Run 4 Hope is a charity race day at Bethpage State Park focused on fundraising for orphan children. Runners can select a 5K, half marathon, or full marathon, while walkers and families have a Family Fun Walk and a 1K walk. The event is organized by PLC and asks participants to turn their race entry into a fundraising effort, with friends, relatives, and co-workers invited to sponsor them. The race prioritizes offering people several ways to participate, from full-marathon runners to non-runners starting from scratch. PLC offers a “Couch to Race Day” program for individuals seeking assistance in preparation, and registered participants receive a personal webpage link for donations. The funds support care for over 6,700 orphan children through orphanages in 25 countries, including India, Kenya, Mexico, Thailand, Haiti, Nepal, Uganda, Ukraine, and Paraguay, with a stated objective of providing a safe Christian upbringing.

The Ostomy 5k in Ann Arbor is a Run for Resilience event held in early October around Ostomy Awareness Day. The main race is a 5K with two entry options: an Open Division for general participants and an Ostomate Division for runners and walkers with ostomies. Children can join separate 50-yard dashes, split into ages 5 and under and ages 6 to 10. The event is built for families as much as racers, with local vendors, food, music, and space for groups to gather. Participants can create or join race groups after registering, which allows friends, family, co-workers, and community members to participate under the same team name. All proceeds go to United Ostomy Associations of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, and donations are tax deductible.

The Playmakers Ghostly Gallop guides participants around Uncle John's farm in Saint Johns, Michigan, offering a 5K Run/Walk, a BOO Dash, and a 1 Mile Kids XC Race. This event is centered on Halloween-season racing, with the 5K taking place entirely off-road, giving it a cross-country feel rather than a street race. The course winds through corn stalks, pumpkin patches, and apple orchards, providing open farm vistas. Families are central to the event, with two short race options for children and cider and donuts available at the finish. Post-race activities include access to the taproom, tractor rides, a corn maze, live music, and food trucks. The Ghostly Gallop name carries local historical significance, with a 5K version previously supporting the Hudson Area Library as a fundraiser.

A Kids Fun Run is also available, along with a virtual option for those who wish to have the shirt, medal, and bib mailed to them. The course is contained within the orchard, emphasizing a harvest-themed run after dark over a fast city route. Each in-person runner receives a small pumpkin and sweet cider upon finishing, contributing to the event's distinct Spicer Orchards character rather than a generic Halloween 5K. The event accommodates families, casual runners, children, and award-seekers by combining a timed race with simple fall amenities.

The Woldumar Trail Run is an annual early-morning trail event at Woldumar Nature Center in Delta Township, Michigan. Runners and walkers use natural paths through the woods and along the Grand River, making the race feel like a run through the center’s land rather than a road race adjacent to a park. The event is the nature center’s largest fundraiser of the year, attracting about 250 participants. It originated from an idea by members and volunteers. The field now includes adults on the main trail routes and younger runners in the Delta Dental Muskrat Mile, a one-mile course designed for aspiring athletes.
