Recurring 5K races near Pau
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Octobre Rose Oloron
Octobre Rose Oloron is a charity walk-run in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, held during France’s October breast-cancer awareness month. Olor’on Run organizes the event, offering 5 km, 10 km, and 2x5 km relay options. The format accommodates walkers and runners equally, with approximately 400 participants anticipated, predominantly walkers.
The course follows a 5 km loop, allowing participants to complete one lap for 5 km or two laps for 10 km. This race is part of a broader local initiative for Octobre Rose. Oloron observes the month with pink umbrellas, pink lighting at the Town Hall, a theatrical reading, awareness booths, and fundraising for research. The event's core message is that breast cancer, the most common and deadliest cancer among women in France, is curable in 9 out of 10 cases through early screening, which is fully covered without upfront payment.
Les foulées du plateau - Lannemezan
Les Foulées du Plateau is a community running and walking event in Lannemezan, Hautes-Pyrénées, southwest France, focusing on mental health alongside race times. It features a 10 km run, a 5 km run, and a 5 km walk, with children’s courses complementing the adult events. The race is organized with the Centre Hospitalier de Lannemezan and connected to the local Mental Health Territorial Project and Mental Health Information Weeks.
The routes traverse the Parc de la Demi-Lune and the grounds of the Lannemezan Hospital Center, taking place partly in a public park and partly on a healthcare campus. It attracts local runners, walkers, families, adapted-sport participants, and individuals interested in the mental health information stands and start village. Notable past attendees include Sylvaire Blanc, a former French adapted-sport climbing champion, and Guillaume Beauxis, a semi-professional trail runner. The day includes on-site professionals, information booths, refreshments, and a portion of each registration fee is donated.
Run in billère
The Billère run is a small October running event held in Billère, located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of southwest France. The event features very short races: children can compete in 400-meter or 800-meter races, and teams can participate in a 4.5 km relay.
The previous edition saw 99 participants, indicating it functions more as a local community race than a large road-running festival. The race distances are designed to be accessible for families, younger runners, and relay teams seeking a short race instead of a standard 5K or 10K.
Cross el Juncaral
Cross El Juncaral is a cross-country running race held in Villanúa, located in the Huesca Pyrenees, typically in early November. It features two marked routes within the Villanúa municipal boundaries: a longer course spanning approximately 10.6 to 11 km and a shorter course of about 5 to 5.5 km. The longer route consists of two laps, and the event includes categories for both children and adults.
The race follows the El Juncaral path and incorporates a segment of the Camino de Santiago. The terrain is noted as being nearly flat, making it more accessible than many races in mountainous regions. Villanúa Deporte, in conjunction with the Villanúa town council and Club Atletismo Jaca, organizes the event. RaceChip Aragón manages the timing and provides distinct results for the short and long courses. The race is a long-standing tradition, with editions extending into the teens.
La méridienne - Tarbes
La Méridienne takes place in November in Tarbes, located in the Hautes-Pyrénées department of southwest France. The event includes a 10 km run, a 5 km run, and a 5 km walk. This offers a short road-distance option for runners and a non-running choice for walkers. The specific date in November is yet to be confirmed.
The 10 km race begins at 10:00, with the 5 km run starting at 10:05 and the 5 km walk at 10:17. Miles Republic lists the event under both running and walking categories. The walking option is designated as a pedestrian walk, distinct from a competitive run.
10 km la méridienne - Ibos
La Méridienne is a 10 km road race in Tarbes, in the Hautes-Pyrénées area of Occitanie, France. It is usually held in early November and also includes a 10 km walk, so the event is not only for runners chasing a time.
The race uses a single 10 km loop through town. The main 10 km run is the popular choice, and it carries a regional label, which also makes it a qualifier for the French Athletics Championships under the FFA system.
Les rêves de Paola - Garlin
Les rêves de Paola
Les Rêves de Paola is a charity running event in Garlin, taking place on a Sunday morning through the town’s streets. The main option is a 10 km race, complemented by a 2 x 5 km relay for pairs, a 5 km walk, and children’s races included in the program.
The event centers on fundraising, with all race proceeds directed to charity. The first edition featured named local competitors such as Alain Vercouter, while Laurent Augustin, who was unbeaten in walking that season, participated in the relay instead of the walk.
Les 10 km de Jurançon
The 10 km de Jurançon is a small urban road race in Jurançon, a town near Pau in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of southwest France. The event is usually held in late November and offers runners a 10 km race on a single loop, with a 5 km walk on its own loop for those seeking a gentler outing.
Festival des courses de Pères Noël
Festival des courses de Pères Noël transforms Toruń into a sea of red Santa outfits in early December. This road-running event in Poland offers several distances: 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, and a half marathon of 21.0975 km. Nordic walking is also included, making the day suitable for more than just runners focused on their times.
The course winds through the old Gothic sections of Toruń, with local residents offering encouragement and jingle bells on pet collars contributing to the Christmas atmosphere. Following the race, many participants remain in the city to explore its monuments, visit the Living Museum of Gingerbread and participate in traditional gingerbread baking, or take their families to the Planetarium. Ciechocinek is also a nearby option for a brief excursion.
Courir à Jurançon
Courir à Jurançon is a December running and walking event held in Jurançon, Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The primary race covers 10 km, with 455 participants recorded recently. This event focuses on local participation rather than a large-scale spectacle, including walkers and children in its program.
The day begins with 5 km and 10 km walks, followed by an 800 m children's race and the main 10 km run. While the specific route is not detailed, the event's structure includes short road-race distances, two walking options, and a children's event, making it suitable for families and local clubs.
Les foulées du sanglier - Salies-de-Béarn
The Foulées du sanglier Challenge Matthieu Irigoin is a local running and walking event held in Salies-de-Béarn, beginning at the Casino on boulevard Saint-Guily. Organized by the association A Huec!, the event attracts around 450 participants annually and supports the Téléthon, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting AFM Téléthon. The event offers options for various abilities, including 5 km and 10 km walks, a 5 km run, and a 10 km team race for groups of three.
The race also serves as a memorial, honoring Matthieu Irigoin, a firefighter from Salies-de-Béarn who died in the line of duty with the Paris fire brigade. Firefighter teams participate to run in his memory, and his family attends. The primary competitive tradition is the Challenge Matthieu Irigoin trophy, presented each year to the top three-person team in the 10 km event.

About 5K races in Pau
Pau Training Notes
Pau hosts 62 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Pau runners keep the week simple at ASM PAU, the family-style club created in 1988 with over 250 members. The club meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM at Stade d'Athlétisme André Lavie, with coached sessions and weekend threshold work. Courir en famille - Pau gives the city an easy anchor event. Trail Nocturne de Gelos, Courir à Jurançon, Les 10 km de Jurançon, Run in Billère, and the Bizanos races keep the calendar busy. The Bizanos race loop runs 5 km of tarmac and 50 m of D+ per lap.
Pau riders get the good split: Gave de Pau River paths for an easy spin, then Pyrenees climbs when Z2 turns into a proper day out. Cyclo Club Béarnais has been around since 1933, and Véloce club béarnais sits in the same local cycling world. Col d’Aubisque, Col de Marie Blanque, Col du Portalet, Col de la Pierre Saint-Martin, and Lac de Bious Artiques are the names locals watch. The climb to Lac de Bious Artiques covers 8 km with 1,308 m of elevation. Tour du Béarn - Pau works as the anchor event.
June to September suits the big bike plans because the Raid Pyrénéen opens from June 1 to September 30. Summer rides can stay mellow on a Saturday leg spin, or go full gran fondo mode toward Marie-Blanque, Aubisque, Portalet, or Pierre Saint-Martin. The city centre still works for running because ASM PAU keeps regular coached evenings and weekend sessions. Winter changes the feel when the mountains put on their winter clothes and bite fingers, noses, and ears, while runners have February trail sessions and cyclists treat altitude as the last foray before winter.
