Course Et Marche De La Voie Rose - Sainte Mere Eglise
La Voie Rose, a 10 km walk and 10 km run in Sainte-Mère-Église, Manche, Normandy, supports Octobre Rose, the breast cancer awareness campaign. Organized by the local Accueil center, the walk begins at 9:30 AM, followed by the run at 10:30 AM. A 10 € entry fee is required, with all proceeds directed to Octobre Rose.
The walking route commences near the stadium and college, estimated to last two hours. The course primarily follows country roads, featuring a few hundred meters of trail and minimal elevation gain. Without official rankings or results, the event emphasizes community and charity over competition. Animals are prohibited on the course, and registration is managed online with secure payment.
Tel est ton trail - La Glacerie
Tel est ton Trail is a charity trail event held in La Glacerie, near Cherbourg-en-Cotentin in the Manche department of Normandy. It focuses on off-road running and walking, offering various trail and walk options starting from La Saillanderie at Salle André-Picquenot. The event welcomes both runners and walkers, attracting those seeking a challenging trail run and those participating at a more relaxed pace, all for the same charitable cause.
The event is strongly linked to the Téléthon, with all proceeds supporting the charity. The entire registration fee from each participant is donated to fund research for innovative treatments and rare diseases. This initiative originated from a collaboration between USLG Omnisports and Coten’Trail. Organizers target approximately 500 participants and aim to raise over 3,000 euros. In one edition, over 180 individuals had pre-registered, and the event has featured accomplished trail runners like Thibaut Lecuru, who has finished in the top 40 at UTMB.
Corrida de Noël - Carentan
Corrida de Noël - Carentan is a Christmas road race held in Carentan-les-Marais, located in the Manche department of Normandy. It functions as a festive local gathering, encouraging participants to wear Christmas colors or costumes. Beyond the main adult race, the day's events include Nordic walking, youth races, and a school challenge. The primary running distances are approximately 7.5 km and 10 km, suitable for both novice runners and more experienced racers.
The course winds through the streets of Carentan. Local accounts mention that some sections are quite narrow, contributing to a close, town-center atmosphere rather than an expansive open-road feel. Athlétisme Carentan Sportif Club organizes the event with assistance from the town hall. The local club actively participates, with many of its members competing. For a town race, participation can be substantial, with over a thousand participants in certain years and strong turnout for the adult race.
Courses nature de la Baie d'Isigny
Courses nature de la Baie d'Isigny begins and ends at the town hall in Isigny-sur-Mer, located on the Normandy coast in Calvados. Held in late February, it offers runners two short trail routes: 10.5 km on Les Sentiers du Caramel or 17 km on Les "dix-huitres" Kilomètres du Caïeu. The Association des Marathoniens d'Isigny sur Mer organizes the event, which includes chip timing and a maximum of 700 participants.
The courses are approximately 90% trail, winding through the port of Isigny, seaside dikes, polders, and the hedged bocage paths of Normandy. The longer race has a strict cutoff: participants reaching 12 km after 1 hour and 25 minutes will not be classified. The local character is evident in the prizes, which consist solely of regional products like oysters, caramels, and Camemberts, reflecting Isigny-sur-Mer's strong association with butter and cheese production.
Courses Nature De La Baie D'isigny - Isigny Sur Mer
The Courses Nature de la Baie d'Isigny feature two trail races starting from Isigny-sur-Mer in Normandy: Les Sentiers du Caramel at 10.5 km and Les “dix-huitres” Kilomètres du Caïeu at 17 km. Both begin at the town hall, with the 17 km race starting first, followed shortly by the 10.5 km. The Association des Marathoniens d'Isigny sur Mer organizes the event, which uses chip timing and limits the combined field to 700 runners.
The route consists of approximately 90% trails, crossing farmland, the coast, and the Norman bocage. Runners begin and end with a passage through the port of Isigny. They will use seaside dikes, polders, and country trails instead of a route heavy on roads. The 17 km race includes a cutoff at the 12 km mark; runners taking longer than 1 hour 25 minutes will not be classified. Prizes are awarded to the top three overall finishers and the first runner in each category. Participant prizes emphasize local products, including oysters, caramels, and Camembert from a town known for its butter and cheese production.
Objectif roule - Cherbourg-en-Cotentin
Objectif roule is a running and trail event held in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, located in the Manche department of Normandy. The primary event is a 3-hour trail race. Participants can compete solo, in pairs, or in teams of three. Each lap of the course is 4.41 km, featuring approximately 284 m of elevation gain and 273 m of elevation loss per circuit.
The event also offers a 10 km discovery trail and a 1 km morning time trial, catering to a range of participants beyond those focused on the 3-hour endurance race. Amicale Cherbourg Marathon is the organizing body. The variety of formats, including solo, duo, trio, a shorter trail run, and a timed sprint, allows runners to engage with the local course through different competitive options.
Le Mesnil au trail - Le Mesnil-au-Val
Le Mesnil au Trail is a March weekend of trail running, mountain biking, and walking held at the École de la Saire in Le Mesnil-au-Val, Manche. This Normandy event offers trail races of 9, 16, 21, and 30 km, mountain bike routes of 25, 35, and 45 km, and walks of 6, 13, and 17 km. The series is in its 10th edition; the previous event had 1,569 participants.
The 17 routes minimize road sections, guiding participants through Brix, Digosville, Ruffosses, and Tamerville. Starts and finishes are at the local school, with on-site food, drink, and prizes including mountain bikes and a car racing course. The event originated with the parents' association Le Tableau noir and is now managed by Le Mesnil Ô Val, headed by former school parent Ludovic Quentin. Funds raised support sports activities at the Mesnil-au-Val school; one past edition funded a circus week for the children. Approximately fifteen organizers and over 60 event-day volunteers manage the weekend, handling path clearing, course marking, partner relations, registration, catering, signaling, and safety.
10 km des écluses - Saint-Lô
The 10 km des Écluses is a 10 km road race held in Manche, Normandy. It runs from La Mancellière-sur-Vire to Saint-Lô, following the Vire river. This point-to-point race requires runners to take shuttles from the Saint-Lô tourist office to the start line, where a truck is available for clothing and small bags.
The race is popular and sells out, with entries closing before the weekend. There are no sign-ups on Saturday or race day. Recent winners include Boris Jordan in the men's race, who started cautiously and finished strongly, and Elona Hamel in the women's race, who won outright.
Trail des dunes - Annoville
Venez Décrocher la Dune takes place in Annoville, Manche department, Normandy, with races set between the harbors of Regnéville and Vanlée. It is a coastal trail event featuring sand, dunes, beach sections, and seaside paths, offering an 18 km trail, a shorter approximately 10 km route, children’s options, and a color-run format.
The courses utilize the west Normandy shoreline instead of a road-race layout, meaning runners navigate soft sand, open beach, and dune paths near the water. The event has also used the coast around Tourneville-sur-Mer. By its fifth edition, organizers had revised the routes, added a marathon, and included a hike alongside the trail races.
La course des 4 passerelles - Saint-Lô
La Course des 4 Passerelles is a road race held at the Jardins de la Gare in Condé-sur-Vire, south of Saint-Lô in Manche. Organized by the Condé-Torigni Athletics Club, it is part of the Manche road-racing calendar. The primary event is an 11.2 km race for men and women aged cadet and above, limited to 400 participants. Younger runners have separate events: 2.8 km for Benjamins and Minimes, 1.55 km for Poussins, and 0.8 km for Eveil Athlé. A 2.4 km children's race is also offered.
The course follows towpaths and roads alongside the Vire River. Race listings also mention a 10.3 km course that is not measured. An 8.5 km Nordic walking event, new for cadets and older participants, provides a non-running alternative. Online registration is mandatory, requiring an FFA competition, running leisure, or company license. Runners without these licenses must use a PPS health pathway. The adult race has a small entry fee, while youth races are free. Bibs include timing chips and must be picked up before the start.
Trail des mémoires - Crouay
The Trail des Mémoires begins and ends in Crouay, a village in Calvados, directing runners onto three routes across the Bessin region of Normandy. Organized by the association Normandie D-Day Trail, the event includes an 11 km race named La Bellée, a 23 km race named La Huebner, and a 5 km solidarity walk or hike accessible to all.
The two running courses are short to middle-distance trails, not mountain races. La Bellée features approximately 139 m of elevation gain, and La Huebner has 212 m. Participants must meet age requirements for adult race entry, whereas the walk is more inclusive and allows on-site registration. The event connects local running with D-Day remembrance and charitable giving; proceeds from the walk benefit the association SoeursBayeuxZelles.
Rando Des Agnelets - Agneaux
Rando des Agnelets is a small multi-sport event held in Agneaux, within France's Manche department. The meeting point is at Esprit Vélo Agneaux. The event is scheduled for April and focuses on mountain biking, trail running, and walking, rather than a single race format.
Mountain bikers can select routes of 20, 40, or 53 km. Trail runners have 10 km and 17 km options with minimal listed climbing. A 10 km route is available for walkers. The trail races commence in the morning, and Les Agnelets organizes the day with modest entry fees for each activity.

About 10K races in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin
Cherbourg Training Notes
Cherbourg-en-Cotentin hosts 23 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Cherbourg like a coastal training block. Bois d'Erqueurdreville gives you the hill sessions, and the sentier côtier gives you footing with fartlek when the legs need rhythm. Campus Coach Cherbourg puts on running and trail outings 2 to 3 times per week, from 5 km to long runs, endurance to intervals. TermiRun keeps it simple with a Messenger group and usually Sunday runs when enough people are keen. La cherbourgeoise, Rotarun, La printanière, Trail à la Belle Étoile, and Les Galopades keep the race calendar honest.
Riders get a proper Cotentin mix here. La Vélomaritime / EuroVelo 4 runs from Cherbourg-en-Cotentin to Saint-Vaast-La-Hougue, and the 48 km route climbs 203 m while staying beginner-friendly. The Saire Valley swaps coast for lanes, and the hedge-row-divided slopes along the Saire get steep in parts. The Cherbourg-Granville gravel bike route gives bigger base miles, because it covers 210 km and gains 1840 m. Objectif roule is the local anchor event to name-check. The brief names no cycling club, so locals lean on routes, groups, and big Cotentin days.
The brief does not pin down best months, so Cherbourg is easier to read by conditions than by calendar. Summer means fresh sea air, the sound of waves, coastal Z2, and enough daylight to stretch a run or ride without making it a mission. Winter keeps the same terrain vallonné, but the coast makes you stay switched on. Runners keep Bois d'Erqueurdreville for côtes and the sentier côtier for fartlek. Riders use the quiet roads, gravel, and Saire Valley climbs when a full gran fondo day is not the point.
