Carrera La Lupita is an annual 15K and 5K road race in Mérida, the capital of Mexico's Yucatán state, staged at Parque Bicentenario Animaya, the city's zoological park, and organized by Grupo La Lupita, the family-run botana (snack) retailer whose stores serve as the race's main kit-pickup and registration points. Held on a Sunday near the end of August each year, the race starts at 5:30 a.m. with running and roller-skating divisions over both the 15K and 5K distances, plus children's categories, drawing more than 3,000 participants to its 10th edition in 2026. The event is backed by the Instituto del Deporte del Estado de Yucatán and the Ayuntamiento de Mérida, and each edition raises funds for a different local cause — the 2024 edition benefited the Asilo Burnet Celarain retirement home, while the 2026 edition supported Impulso Universitario, a university-access program. Registration runs through Botanas La Lupita stores, Room Store, Planeta Maratón, and Digital Room locations across Mérida, as well as online via the Dashport-powered vivedeporte.mx platform. Grupo La Lupita also runs a separate sister race under the same 'Carrera La Lupita' name in Campeche, on a different date — a distinct event from this Mérida edition.

NewBo Run Half Marathon is an annual Labor Day weekend race through Cedar Rapids, Iowa, organized by the Corridor Running Club (formerly the Cedar Valley Running Association, founded in 1982). Both the half marathon and a companion 10K start and finish at NewBo City Market in the New Bohemia arts district, tracing an out-and-back route along the Sac & Fox River Trail beside the Cedar River, through Prairie Park Fishery and the Indian Creek Nature Center. The course is mostly flat and fast river-trail running, with occasional rolling hills concentrated in the first and last few miles near downtown. Nine water stops line the route, with Gatorade offered at every other station. Every finisher receives a custom hand-crafted medal, and the race partners with New Bohemia businesses for post-race treats, local beer, and commemorative shirts. Runners have a 3-hour finish window. The 2026 edition ran on September 6; given the race's consistent Labor Day weekend timing since at least 2023, the next edition is projected for early September 2027, though Corridor Running has not yet opened registration or published official 2027 details.

The Wolverhampton Half Marathon is an annual city-centre road race in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England, run alongside a 10K over the same course. Both distances start and finish on North Street outside Wolverhampton Civic Hall, weaving through the city's historic streets on an undulating route before returning to the finish. The race has run annually on the first Sunday of September for years, drawing local running clubs, first-timers, and charity fundraisers from across the West Midlands. In August 2026, organizer StuWeb Events cancelled that year's Wolverhampton Half Marathon, citing the loss and unavailability of key personnel, and processed full refunds for entrants while confirming the event will return on 5 September 2027. Past editions have offered a finisher's medal and t-shirt, chip timing, and a discounted entry rate for UK Athletics (UKA) affiliated runners, with the half marathon carrying a roughly three-and-a-half-hour cut-off.
