Recurring 5K races near Charleroi
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
La Course aux Flambeaux
La Course aux Flambeaux lets you run with fire, lighting up the night. Dash through the darkness, guided by torches, in a memorable evening that becomes a torch parade.
Course des bornes frontières - La Flamengrie
La Course des Bornes Frontières is a road-running event in La Flamengrie, a village in the Nord department of northern France. The main races are 5 km and 10 km, both starting at 10:30 AM, making it a compact local race day rather than a long-distance festival.
The program also includes youth races over short distances (0.5 km, 1.4 km, and 2.8 km), plus a 9 km walk for those who wish to participate without racing. Results are published separately for the youth races, the 5 km, and the 10 km, indicating a community event accommodating children, regular road runners, and walkers.
La Course du Bois du Cazier
La Course du Bois du Cazier begins at the Bois du Cazier in Charleroi, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Hainaut, Belgium. This event offers mixed road and trail running, with adult races around 6 km and 16 km, and children's runs of 500 meters and 1 km. The shorter adult course is just over 6 km, and the longer one is a little over 16 km, meaning the listed distances are approximate.
The route departs the historic mining site, passing through Marcinelle via paved sections, slag heaps (terrils), and forest paths. Portions of the course overlook Charleroi, providing more variety than a typical city road race. The event accommodates both adults and children. Adult participants receive a bib, electronic timing, aid stations on the course and at the finish, a medal, and a raffle entry. Children get a bib, a snack at the finish, and a medal.
Les Crêtes de l'Olive Morlanwelz
Les foulées de la licorne
Les foulées de la licorne is a road race held in early October in Gommegnies, a town in the Nord department of Hauts-de-France. Participants can select between a 5 km and a 10 km race, and the event also features races for children and juniors.
Both the 5 km and 10 km routes are single-loop courses through the town, simplifying the format for runners and allowing supporters to easily follow along. The 10 km attracts the most attention, while the shorter race and youth events ensure the day is accessible to families and less experienced runners. The local festival and fair committee organizes the race with backing from the municipality, and the event has already surpassed its 25th edition.
Les foulées onnaingeoises
Les foulées onnaingeoises is a local running series in Onnaing, with a morning schedule featuring several short road races. Runners can choose from 8 km, 5 km, 10 km, 3 km, or 1 km, accommodating adults, newer runners, and children.
The races are staggered through the morning, starting with the 8 km, followed by the 5 km, 10 km, 3 km, and concluding with the 1 km at midday. While route details are not provided, the variety of distances suggests a community race day with options for faster runners, casual participants, and young runners.
Corrida de Jodoigne
Corrida de Jodoigne is an October night road race held in Jodoigne, Walloon Brabant, Belgium. It crosses the town's historic center and features two primary distances: 5 km and 10 km. A 1.4 km children's run is also available for participants aged 6 to 12.
The course has the organizer as surprising and somewhat technical, deviating from a simple flat run through town streets. The event accommodates various participants, from those aiming for a specific time to families and runners seeking a shorter evening race. Each distance has a participant limit of 500.
STYREKX Fitness Race Mechelen
The STYREKX Fitness Race Mechelen is an indoor fitness competition in Mechelen, Antwerp province, Belgium, taking place in October. It combines short running circuits with functional exercise stations, resembling a timed gym challenge more than a typical road race. The primary Regular and Xtreme formats consist of ten 800-meter laps, totaling 8 km of running, with an exercise station following each lap. A shorter Light option features nine 400-meter runs. The event is part of the Strong Viking series and maintains an arena atmosphere, incorporating chip timing, designated stations, and a consistent run-exercise cadence.
The course is constructed from repeating laps and gym-based exercises, distinct from outdoor obstacles or terrain. Stations involve equipment or activities such as RowErg, StrengthErg, Sled Push, and Loa, with exercises drawn from standard fitness and CrossFit routines. Participants can compete individually, in pairs, or as teams, and the organizer states prior fitness race experience is not required. Staff are stationed to guide participants through the exercises, and the timing chip tracks running, station completion, and transitions. Entry includes a STYREKX Patch, and finishers receive nutrition, a personalized results breakdown, and a certificate; facilities like changing rooms, a cloakroom, and a hydration station are also provided.
Les foulées de la licorne - Gommegnies
Les foulées de la licorne is a small running event in Gommegnies, Nord department, France. It offers two road-race distances, 5 km and 10 km, both starting at 10:00.
The format is simple: runners choose either the 5 km or the 10 km. The entry fee is 6 EUR for each distance. The organizer is LES FOULEES DE LA LICORNE, and registration details are listed through Miles Republic.
Relais des Feuilles Mortes - Honnelles
The Relais des Feuilles Mortes is a 5 km road race held in Honnelles, Belgium, starting in Montignies-sur-Roc. It takes place in late October. Walkers begin at 14:30, followed by joggers at 15:00, making it a brief autumn run rather than a full race day.
The available information suggests a modest local event: a single 5 km race, a distinct walking category, and Laurent Gallez as the race director. The name translates to "relay of dead leaves," appropriate for the late-season timing. The race is relatively new, having only a few editions completed.
Natur'ale trail - Wandignies-Hamage
Natur'ALE Trail is a local nature race in Wandignies-Hamage, in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France, offering 5 km, 10 km, and 20 km options. It is designed for runners seeking an off-road event without the commitment of a single long-distance format.
The routes incorporate a mix of paths, trails, cobblestones, and grassy sections, leading to varied footing compared to a standard road race. The event also supports a charitable cause, raising funds for leukemia patients, which adds a community dimension to the day beyond the running.
Alphense Bergen Trail
Vestingloop Bergen op Zoom begins and ends on the Grote Markt, located in the historic center of Bergen op Zoom in North Brabant. This road-running event offers short, accessible distances: a 1 km family run, a 5 km run, a 10 km run, and a 5 km Ommetje walking route. The schedule also features 5 km and 10 km corporate runs, welcoming not only club runners focused on speed but also families, walkers, colleagues, and casual runners to the same event.
The course highlights the fortress-town's character instead of obscuring it. Participants will run past city landmarks including the Markiezenhof, the Ravelijn, the Lieve Vrouwenpoort, and the Peperbus. The Grote Markt serves as the central gathering point before and after the race. The event benefits the Hersenstichting, the Dutch Brain Foundation, adding a fundraising objective to the running and walking activities. Its core concept is a concise city run through historic Bergen op Zoom, with distances suitable for both novices and experienced runners.

About 5K races in Charleroi
Charleroi Training Notes
Charleroi hosts 97 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Charleroi from the city centre, then drift along the Sambre or toward Castle of Monceau-sur-Sambre park for steadier Z2. The City Run Charleroi tour covers around 7 km and keeps the pace easy enough for start to runners as well. CRAC club, GOSP club, and ESM club give the serious runners a proper base. The 20 km Thuin Charleroi is the fast anchor race along the Sambre. La Course du Bois du Cazier, Pulse Charleroi, and the Marathon international de Charleroi keep the calendar busy.
Locals ride the RAVeL first because it gets you moving without fuss. RAVeL 1 La Houillere and RAVeL W6 Au fil de l'eau make the Sambre feel like home turf. The route between Thuin and Charleroi runs 21 km along the River Sambre and works well for base miles. Ring Velo and EuroVelo3 Veloroute des pelerins add longer options from town. Montigny-Le-Tilleul gives the punchier work, where Artisatrail routes climb up to 490 meters of elevation gain. Triathlon Vert de Charleroi is the bike-side anchor event.
Spring suits both sports best because the Sambre paths feel quick and the clubs are back in rhythm. Summer gives locals easy evening miles, and the Charleroi-to-Thuin RAVeL keeps a 21 km river line ready for steady rides or long runs. The city centre still works for short intervals when the days run hot. Winter changes the feel more than the plan. Locals keep Z2 on the RAVeL, use Castle of Monceau-sur-Sambre park for softer laps, and save the sharper stuff for clearer days.
