Recurring 5K races near Avignon
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Course la nocturne des anges de romane - Le Crès
Romane's Angels night race offers an intense challenge for the daring, with a gentler option available. Even the youngest can join this night under the stars. It's for all levels.
Corrida du soa - Arles
The Corrida du Soa in Arles is a 5 km road race that starts at 6:30 p.m. The field is compact, with about 250 runners starting and over 230 finishing. It is a short, fast local race, not a long-distance city event.
The results show a quick front end: the winner ran 15:52, and the next two men finished in 16:11 and 16:27. Fatiha Sanchez was the leading female finisher at 18:18, and Christelle Bouchet led the M2 women's category in 20:50. Club runners come from nearby athletics groups such as Ales Cevennes Athletisme, Martigues Sport Athletisme, Tarascon Athletisme, Arles Athletisme, and Running Club Bellegarde. With 1,165 km logged across the field, the race functions as a busy community 5K with enough club depth to ensure a quick pace at the front.
La foulée ressource - Aix-en-Provence
La Foulée Ressource takes place in October in Aix-en-Provence, offering three options: a 5 km run, a 10 km run, or a 5 km walk/hike. All three events begin at 15:00 with identical entry fees. The 10 km race is certified by the FFA, providing an officially measured course for those seeking a timed road distance beyond a charity event.
Aix Athlé Provence organizes La Foulée Ressource. The event's purpose is straightforward: to fund the Centre Ressource in Aix-en-Provence, a support center for cancer patients focusing on wellbeing and therapeutic care. The center relies on La Foulée Ressource for approximately 90% of its operational funding. This means participants are directly contributing to the center's survival, not just making an additional donation. The event has completed twelve editions, accommodating club runners, casual participants, walkers, and supporters within its afternoon schedule.
10 km de la Cité des Papes
The 10 km de la Cité des Papes is a road race held in Avignon, located in the Vaucluse department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France. Taking place in early October, it offers participants two primary distances: the well-attended 10 km course or a 4.5 km alternative. The event also features races specifically for children and juniors, with the children’s race accessible to those aged 9 and up.
The race begins in Avignon’s city center, guiding participants through the city’s core before leading them to the banks of the Rhône river. The Club d’Athlétisme Avignon is the organizer, supported by local partners such as the city of Avignon and the Vaucluse departmental council. This event is also connected to the Nocturne des Papes, and past results and photos are available, with archives extending back to 1930.
La Foulée Ressource
La Foulée Ressource is a charity road race held in Aix-en-Provence, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France. It takes place in early October, originating from the Les Milles business park. Participants can choose between 5 km and 10 km races, or a 12 km walk for those who prefer not to compete. The event's motto is “Courir, ça a du sens” — running with a purpose.
The route commences near the McDonald’s within the business park and concludes at the Centre Ressource. This race benefits the Ressource association, which provides wellbeing and therapeutic support to individuals affected by cancer. The connection is significant, as the Centre indicates that the majority of its operations rely on this event. Consequently, the race is structured around solidarity as much as athletic performance. Runners, walkers, supporters, and local attendees unite for a morning focused on a shared cause.
Courses des Foulées Pélissannaises - Pelissanne
Les Foulées Pélissannaises begins in Pélissanne, a village in Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. This established local race series takes place in early October, featuring road running, trail running, walking, and children's events. The schedule includes short races for young children (450 m and 700 m), a 3 km race, a 5 km youth course, an 8 km walk, a 10 km race, a 16 km race with 400 m of elevation gain, and a 29 km Trail XS with 1000 m of elevation gain.
The courses traverse the countryside surrounding Pélissanne and the Costes massif, resulting in steeper terrain for the longer distances compared to the shorter village routes. The 8 km walk, named La Marche de la vigne à l'olivier, highlights the local vineyards and olive trees. The 10 km race offers a faster pace with 115 m of elevation gain, while the Trail du Calabrun and the 29 km race provide a more challenging experience for experienced trail runners. Children are included with La Ronde des Pitchouns for ages 5 to 14, alongside several very short races.
Octobre Rose Mazan
Octobre Rose Mazan is a local running and walking event in Mazan, a village in Vaucluse, France, situated at the base of the Dentelles de Montmirail. It takes place in October, aligning with the Octobre Rose breast-cancer awareness initiative. Two road race options are available: 5.8 km and 12 km, both commencing at 10:00 AM. The entry fee is intentionally kept affordable, with the 5.8 km race costing 5 EUR and the 12 km race costing 12 EUR.
The courses loop around Mazan, incorporating rural paths as noted in the event details, and offer perspectives towards Mont Ventoux. The local municipality and its sports office are the organizers, with all proceeds directed to regional charitable organizations. The event is designed for both walkers and runners, maintaining the Octobre Rose objective: to increase breast cancer awareness and promote screening.
Foulées de la montagnette - Ribaute-les-Tavernes
Foulées de la Montagnette is a running event in Ribaute-les-Tavernes, offering 5 km and 10 km races that begin in the late afternoon at 4:15. It holds a Nature label, indicating the event focuses on outdoor terrain rather than a typical urban road race.
The series is in its 19th edition and is included in the Challenge Alès Agglo des courses à pied, connecting it to the local running schedule within Alès Agglomération. The two distances accommodate runners seeking a shorter run and those preferring a standard 10 km race.
Les Foulées Douces - Montfavet
Les Foulées Douces is a small October running and walking event based at the Centre Hospitalier de Montfavet, near Avignon. The morning program offers two standard-distance races, 11 km and 5.5 km, plus walking options, with bib pickup before the starts and registration handled online.
The routes run through Agroparc, with the longer race offering participants a wider view of the area around Montfavet. The event is open to the public, and staff from the hospital can accompany residents or patients, fitting its main purpose: using sport to support mental health awareness, inclusion, and a more open conversation about psychological disorders.
La cabro d'or - Cabriès
La Cabro d'Or is a road race in Cabriès, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, offering races from 5 km to 15 km. The primary distances are 5 km, 10 km, and 15 km, alongside La Cabriessienne, a 7.5 km women's race. Starts are scheduled for late morning, with entry fees between 18 and 22 euros.
Olympique Cabriès Calas organizes the event, which has reached at least its 40th edition. The programme caters to various participants: road runners can select short, middle, or long distances, and walkers have 6 km and 10 km hiking options. Cabriès is situated near Aix-en-Provence, Sainte-Victoire, and Marseille, positioning the race as part of a local Provençal sports weekend rather than a large urban running event.
Course du pays d'Apt Luberon - Gargas
The Course du pays d'Apt Luberon - Gargas is a running event held in Gargas, located in the Pays d'Apt Luberon region of southern France. It begins in the morning, with a listed start time of 07:45. Runners can choose between 5 km, 7 km, or 10 km distances.
The shorter courses are not mountainous; the 5 km route includes 20 meters of elevation gain, and the 10 km route has 40 meters. This suggests the event is more of a local run through Gargas rather than a challenging hill race, offering options for participants seeking a quick 5 km or a longer 10 km run.

About 5K races in Avignon
Avignon Training Notes
Avignon hosts 105 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
The path runs 6 km west to the railroad tracks and gives easy Z2 without thinking. Barthelasse Island gives you a 15 km paved loop when you want base miles with space. Le Bois du Defends has a mapped 7 km route when the legs want dirt. The Vaucluse opens up 11 signposted trail itineraries, and the routes run from 8 to 50 km. Sporting Olympique Avignon is the local name to know. Marathon D'avignon, L'avignonnaise, 10 km de la Durance, and 10 km Cité des papes are the anchor starts.
Locals ride Avignon like a bike city, with quick spins around the Tour des Remparts de la Ville d'Avignon and longer trips out when the legs need work. Avignon sits on Via Rhona (EV17) and Mediterranean by bike (EV8), so steady base miles are simple. Gravel routes start 5 km out. Véloroute de Calavon leads almost 40 km through the Luberon, and Autour du Luberon runs 236 km for big days. Mount Ventoux is where the climbs get serious. Roulons à vélo rides night trips every first Friday at 6:30 pm. Fête du vélo, Avignon vélo Passion, and Les Cyclades keep the calendar busy.
Spring gives Avignon the best rhythm for both sports, with Trail du Ventoux in March, Grand Raid du Ventoux in April, and a thick May block around La Nocturne des Papes and Trail du Grand Luberon. The temperature hit 8 °C on 28 June 2019, so locals get out early and keep intervals short. The mistral can change a ride or a tempo run fast. The temperature dropped to 5 °C on 2 February 1956. Cyclists keep flat Z2 close to town, and runners use the Rhône paths when daylight is tight.
