A sold-out Tralee corporate road race drew 630 participants and raised funds for Kerry Hospice, with competitors running 5K and 10K events. In North Carolina, the Veterans Healing Farm held its first 5K fundraiser, drawing an estimated 200 or more runners to support free programs for veterans and their families. A Halloween-themed 5K in Missouri brought in close to $2,000 for Seckman High School’s choir program, which helps students afford trips and activities. Webb County recognized Alfredo Rodriguez and Carlos Peña for completing a 135-mile Texas ultramarathon in about 42 hours, an achievement they hope will encourage others to become active. In Vietnam, the Lamdong Trail 2026 is set to welcome more than 5,600 athletes from over 35 countries for races across distances from 5K to 85K on routes through the Da Lat highlands.
