Trail des Glières - Fillière
Trail des Glières - Fillière is a mountain trail weekend held in Thorens-Glières, part of the commune of Fillière in Haute-Savoie. Organized by the Club Nordic des Glières, it takes place in early October and offers adults five distance options: the Furious Bouquetin at 56 km with 3400 m of elevation gain, the Ecureuil Fou at 41 km with 2400 m, the Chamois Rapide at 21 km with 1400 m, the Marmotte Speed at 10 km with 500 m, and a Vertical Kilometer. The longest race begins before dawn, while the shortest adult race starts in the early afternoon, covering a range from ultra-style mountain running to a more accessible trail format.
The Vertical Kilometer starts at the Usillon campsite and ascends to a finish above the Landron chalet, covering 1000 m of ascent in a single uphill effort. Approximately 1600 adults and 300 children participate in the event, with children’s races for ages 2 to 15 scheduled for Sunday morning. The adult race names reference Alpine wildlife, including the bouquetin, chamois, marmotte, and squirrel, suiting a race focused on steep local terrain rather than road speed. Sunday also features refreshment stands and activities throughout the day, with parking available at the Complexe Sportif Jean Coulon.
Foulée de Drumettaz Clarafond - Drumettaz-Clarafond
The Foulée de Drumettaz-Clarafond takes place on an autumn morning in Drumettaz-Clarafond, Savoie. The program includes trail running, road running, walking, and children’s cross-country races. The main events are the 18 km Trail de la Parchale, featuring 660 m of elevation gain, and the 9.7 km Ronde des Fou(r)s, primarily on roads. A 9 km popular walk follows mostly trails. For younger participants, there are 3 km, 1.5 km, and 0.8 km cross races, with the two shorter distances unranked.
The event emphasizes village festivities alongside the races. Participants receive coffee before the start, and aid stations offer entertainment. The day concludes with an aperitif and a tartiflette, available for the first 500 servings. Local traditions include distributing 150 loaves baked in communal ovens via lottery. Adult participants are given a bottle of Savoie wine, and all finishers receive a personalized souvenir. Prizes are awarded not only to top runners but also to costumed participants, groups, and the clubs that travel the furthest or bring the most members.
La Foulée de Crossey
La Foulée de Crossey takes place at the foot of the Chartreuse mountains, with trail races centered in Saint-Etienne-de-Crossey and on paths in Saint-Nicolas-de-Macherin and Saint-Aupre. The series provides three distances: 9 km, 14 km, and 24 km. The short race involves 200 m of elevation gain, the middle option has 450 m, and the long race gains 1000 m, allowing participants to select from a brief local trail run to a more demanding mountain-edge course.
The 9 km route suits all levels, remaining fast and demanding, with forest sections near La Croix Saint-Denis designed to elevate heart rate. The new 14 km race offers more distance than the short course without the full 1000 m of climbing; it has moderate elevation changes until the Montmain woods, then requires repeated efforts. The 24 km route, also new in layout, passes La Croix Saint-Denis, Montmain, and the Monure hill, and is part of the Challenge du Pays Voironnais Trail Series. This event marks its 40th edition, lending this local Chartreuse-foot trail gathering significant history while remaining accessible.
Corrida d'Annecy
Corrida d'Annecy is an October running and walking event held in Annecy, located in France's Haute-Savoie department. The event features short-distance races: 1.5 km, 3 km, and 4.5 km, along with a 7.5 km relay suitable for clubs and companies.
The event also offers the Marche des Lumières, a walking option described as pedestrian hiking. The race selection suggests a local, accessible format, accommodating children, novice runners, club teams, workplace groups, walkers, and short-distance runners by providing distances that suit them.
Run'cugnot - La Bâtie-Divisin
Run'Cugnot is a small nature-running event held in La Bâtie-Divisin, a village in France's Isère region, set within the hilly Dauphiné countryside. Participants can select distances ranging from 3 km to 20 km, with the primary race options listed at 5, 10, and 20 km. The event also offers 6 km and 12 km hikes suitable for Nordic walking and regular walking. The specific date is not fixed in the current listing; therefore, entrants should consult the organiser's most recent information before registering.
The routes commence and conclude in La Bâtie-Divisin, utilizing a combination of village roads, local paths, and brief trail segments. The 20 km course involves an ascent of approximately 450 m, while the 10 km route features about 250 m of elevation gain across small roads and paths. The 5 km trail offers a more moderate challenge with around 60 m of climbing. The Comité des Fêtes de la Bâtie Divisin is responsible for organising the event, which maintains a deliberately straightforward setup. It includes aid stations, showers, and a welcoming village atmosphere designed for runners, walkers, families, and groups of friends seeking a rural outing rather than a large-scale urban competition.
EDF Trail des Vallées d'Aigueblanche (ETVA)
The EDF Trail des Vallees d'Aigueblanche is a two-day trail running series in Aigueblanche, Savoie, France, held during an October weekend. The race distances range from a short 4.89 km mountain run to a 51.89 km ultra-distance trail race, catering to runners seeking either a steep climb or a long day in the mountains.
The most demanding routes feature significant elevation gain: TERAWATT 3 spans 51.89 km with 3,179 m of climbing, and Tournee Generale covers 48.9 km with 3,241 m of ascent. The 23.95 km races, Echapeaux Belle and Gigawatt, each include 1,358 m of elevation gain. The steepest short distances are Pelton 2000, with 1,933 m of climbing over 10.7 km, and TERAWATT day3, gaining 965 m in just 4.89 km.
Léman Habitat court contre le cancer
Léman Habitat court contre le cancer is a 5 km road race held in Thonon-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie, near Lake Geneva. It takes place in early October and is not timed; the focus is on participation in a charity event supporting the fight against cancer.
The course is described as urban, incorporating park and natural sections, making it suitable for both novice and experienced runners. The race's slogan is “Pas juste courir, habiter la victoire !” It is featured on the Finishers platform as an opportunity for participants to explore local sites and French regional heritage through running.
Les Boucles du Coeur
Les Boucles du Coeur is a charity running event in Veyrier-du-Lac, a Haute-Savoie village near Annecy. It takes place on an October day, organized by the support committee for breast cancer research in Savoie and Haute-Savoie. All donations benefit cancer research.
The races follow routes around Lake Annecy, connecting the event to its lakeside setting instead of a city-street course. Four accessible route options are available, including a 10 km race named “La v”. This offers a manageable distance for runners wishing to support the cause.
Les foulées d'Alpespace - Porte-de-Savoie
Les Foulées d’Alpespace is a road race held at Alpespace in Porte-de-Savoie, featuring an ultra-flat course designed for fast times. The event includes a 10km race with an FFA label and a 5km race, which is being labelled. The 5km begins first in the morning, followed later by the 10km. The 10km is open to participants from Cadets through Masters categories, and the 5km also includes Minimes.
The organisers describe the course as suitable for achieving personal bests, with GPX files provided for both distances. A Company Challenge is part of the event, taking place over the 5km and 10km, where teams are ranked by the number of runners they register under a single affiliation. Following the race, participants can visit the refreshment station; organisers request that everyone bring a reusable cup. Food will be available on-site via reservation. This event is in its early stages, with its third edition scheduled.
Foulées annemassiennes - Annemasse
La burgienne octobre rose - Bourg-en-Bresse
La Burgienne Octobre Rose is a running and walking event held in Bourg-en-Bresse, located in the Ain department of eastern France. Its program is centered on Pink October, positioning the event within the French autumn calendar of breast cancer awareness activities, rather than as a typical road race.
The available options include walking routes of 5 km, 10 km, and 15 km, alongside a 10 km relay race for runners. The relay is the sole listed running event and requires a team entry fee. The three walking routes are designed to be accessible for participants who prefer a more relaxed pace.

About 5K races in Annecy
Annecy Training Notes
Annecy hosts 95 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals split easy miles between Lake Annecy, Charles Bosson Park, the Jardins de l’Europe, and the hillier trails toward Semnoz, Mont Veyrier, La Tournette, and Parmelan. The city centre gives you flat Z2, quick intervals, and easy café roll-ins after a shakeout. Social Run Club Annecy meets outside Colombus Cafe on Sundays at 10:15 AM, usually for 5 km at 5:55-6:20 per km. Circle Run Club meets Mondays at 6:30 PM at Canaille, Nouvelles Galeries. Marathon du lac d’Annecy, Corrida d’Annecy, Maxi Race d’Annecy, and Trail d’Annecy-Les Glaisins are the anchor races.
Locals ride the lake when they want base miles and ride the cols when they want the real work. Matchy Brigade runs guided rides on Wednesday evenings for 40 km to 50 km and Saturday mornings for 70 km to 90 km. The Saturday ride takes 5 hours when you keep it steady. Col de Leschaux, Col de la Forclaz, Col de Colombiere, Semnoz, and Col de l’Arpettaz are where the climbing starts. Ultra Race Les Géants, with 300 km, 500 km, and 1000 km options, is the big road anchor.
September is the clean pick, because the lake can still feel like summer while the top of a big col feels cooler. Summer stays moderate on average, but early September by the lake can push over 30 degrees, so locals start early, hit the almost empty beaches, and keep Z2 honest. Winter changes the rhythm for both sports, with single-digit daytime temperatures, cold rain, night frosts, and snow that is not uncommon. Semnoz sits 20 minutes from Annecy, Les Glières sits 45 minutes away, and La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand sit 40 minutes away when skiing takes over.
