Les Petites Foulées De La Baie - Locquenole
La Leclerc Gouesnou - Brest Métropole
La Leclerc Gouesnou - Brest Métropole is an October road-running event in Finistère, Brittany, featuring 5 km and 10 km races within the Brest urban area. The 10 km race is particularly notable, holding an FFA label, qualifying runners for the French championships, and utilizing a record-eligible course. The program also offers walking options and short children’s races, ensuring the day accommodates participants beyond competitive club runners.
The course is urban, designed for straightforward road running. Children can choose from three distances: 500 m, 1 km, and 1.5 km. Walkers have a separate route. The event is filmed and broadcast live on TEBEO/TESUD, supports a charitable cause, and has a local feel, with one finisher humorously remarking it is “Better than a Paris-Brest.”
La run'ploum - Ploumoguer
Trail d'halloween - Saint-Divy
The Trail d’Halloween - Saint-Divy is a Saturday evening trail race held in Saint-Divy, organized by Courir à Saint-Divy. Participants run after dark using headlamps. The event focuses on the Halloween theme, utilizing trails and night conditions, distinct from a daytime road race.
The organizers regularly adjust the race format. This edition is presented as a new iteration of the Halloween trail. The night run attracted many participants previously, indicating the after-dark aspect is the primary draw. Runners seek a local trail race where visibility, atmosphere, and the Halloween theme are as important as their pace.
Corrida de Landivisiau
Corrida de Landivisiau is a road race held in late October in Landivisiau, a town in Finistère, Brittany, situated between Landerneau and Morlaix. The schedule is concise and centered in the town: a 1.6 km race named Le Miles, alongside 5 km and 10 km road races, all timed and measured according to FFA standards.
Starting from Place du Champ de Foire, the event is organized by Les Trotteriens Landi, with the mascot TROTTIX adding a local club atmosphere. The race is designed for everyday runners, teams, companies, and supporters, not exclusively elite athletes, offering prizes for the company or team with the most participants. It also includes a charitable component, generating support for a worthy cause while taking place in the center of Landivisiau.
Trail de Pleyben
The Trail de Pleyben begins and concludes at Gymnase Pierre Cloarec in Pleyben, Finistère, offering four trail races. Organized by APEL Saint Joseph de Pleyben, this event marks its 21st year and serves as the concluding stage of the Challenge Armorik Trail. The primary Canal PopKorn race covers 44.5 km with 1,250 m of elevation gain, intended for experienced, well-prepared runners, not novices.
The long course departs Pleyben via local paths and woodland tracks, descending towards the Nantes-Brest Canal and its towpath. It continues past Pont-Coblant before proceeding through Gouézec to Roche du Feu, reaching an altitude of 281 m. Following a swift, technical wooded descent back towards the canal, participants will pass the Victor, a navigational monument, then ascend towards Pleyben on trails through Lennon. The course combines technical terrain, runnable sections, ascents, and descents. A two-person Canal PopKorn relay divides the distance into 18.5 km and 26 km segments, with a limit of 50 teams.
Semi-marathon Saint-Pol-Morlaix
The Saint-Pol-Morlaix begins at the cathedral in Saint-Pol-de-Léon and finishes 22 km later at the viaduct in Morlaix, Finistère, Brittany. This road race, held annually in November, has been organized since 1973, establishing it as Brittany's oldest race. Although longer than a half marathon, a timing checkpoint at 21.1 km allows participants to record their half-marathon split.
The course requires patience initially, featuring a predominantly uphill first half before transitioning to a more downhill trajectory towards Morlaix. The main 22 km race attracts approximately 3,500 participants. The accompanying 10 km race, from Taulé to Morlaix, can draw even larger numbers, exceeding 5,000 participants. In total, the event accommodates around 9,000 runners across all distances. Locals refer to it as "the race of Brittany," and the starting field is so substantial that it can take nearly four minutes for all runners to begin moving.
Plogastrail - Plogastel-Saint-Germain
The Plogastrail de Plogastel-Saint-Germain is a Sunday morning trail event held in Plogastel-Saint-Germain, Finistère, offering races for runners and walking routes. The primary race covers 22 km, with 12 km and 5 km options available for those preferring shorter distances.
The 22 km course begins near the honor stadium before entering the undergrowth and country paths surrounding Plogastel-Saint-Germain. One past event saw 750 participants: 250 ran the 22 km, 350 the 12 km, and 150 the 5 km, alongside children and approximately 120 walkers. Registration was closed to ensure the safety and order of the races, with local associations assisting in trail maintenance, security, and event operation.
Les foulées du diabète - Guilers
Les Foulées du Diabète is a community running and walking event held at the Louis Ballard complex in Guilers, Brittany, near World Diabetes Day. It emphasizes participation over competition, offering unranked, untimed runs of 3.9 km and 6.5 km cross-country. Walking routes are available in 5 km, 8 km, and 10 km. This event, now in its 14th edition, is organized by Familles des Jeunes Diabétiques du Finistère and the Club d'Athlétisme Guilérien.
The morning supports type 1 diabetes awareness and research funding. All proceeds benefit Aide aux Jeunes Diabétiques. The entry fee includes a t-shirt in AJD colors, which participants are encouraged to wear. A music warm-up precedes the starts, aligning with the event's non-competitive spirit. Families are welcome, with children's entertainment and activities; minors require parental authorization.
Le défi de kervallon - Brest
Le Défi de Kervallon is a road race in Brest, held in the Cavale Blanche neighborhood and organized by the Brest Goélopieurs association. It features two timed adult races: a 5 km starting at 10:15 and a 10 km starting at 11:00. The 5 km is open to participants aged 14 and up, and the 10 km is open to those aged 16 and up. Free children's races, with distances determined by age group, take place before the adult events. The race also benefits the SNSM Brest intervention and training center, adding a charitable aspect to the competition.
The adult course is a 5 km loop, run once for the 5 km race and twice for the 10 km race. This loop combines streets with natural areas around Cavale Blanche, and it is notably hilly, featuring a 1 km climb, numerous descents, and approximately 70 m of elevation gain per lap. The 10 km includes a separate climb competition with a podium for top climbers, and the Grand Défi classification recognizes individuals competing in both the 5 km and 10 km races. Music is provided along the course to support runners during challenging sections. Previous editions have attracted competitive club runners and local participants seeking a demanding, hilly race in Brest.
Korrida de Lesneven
Korrida de Lesneven is a December night race held in Lesneven, a town in Finistère, Brittany. The primary run covers 7.5 km, consisting of three 2.5 km loops through town. The start and finish lines are located at the bus station on Rue Valy Goz. Registration is limited to 499 participants, and the event is organized by Les Korrigans Lesneven.
The race maintains a local, festive atmosphere. A best-costume contest is held, with prizes awarded to the top three men and women, as well as a prize for the best-dressed runner. Following the race, participants receive refreshments at the pétanque hall adjacent to the bus station. The event also benefits a local association, with one euro donated per participant.
Noz caval'cade - Brest
Noz Caval'cade is a 15 km night trail race in Brest, beginning at the Complexe Sportif de la Cavale-Blanche. Participants require a headlamp. The event provides chip timing, a solo race covering the entire distance, and a two-person relay featuring a baton exchange at Fort du Questel.
The course runs along the Penfeld riverbanks and guides participants through the underground passages and moats of Fort du Questel, with an aid station offering solid and liquid provisions located inside the fort. The finish line includes an XXL aid station. The day also features children's races, named la course de Yetis (parental consent needed), along with event volunteers and a podium ceremony.

About 5K races in Quimper
Quimper Base Miles
Quimper hosts 48 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals keep running close to the Odet, because the river paths are the highlight in Quimper. The route runs 5 km toward Corniguel and gives you water views the whole way. The East Bank Loop runs 8 km and gains 80 m, so it works for steady Z2 with a few bites. The city centre stays runnable despite the cobblestones. du Mont Frugy section climbs 60 m. Ar meilhou glaz trail, Kemper urban noz trail, ITX - In'Trail Xperience, Les Boucles du Steir, and Trail de l'Odet anchor the calendar.
Locals ride from town onto a useful web of lanes, with 80 km of bike-friendly routes already in place and a city goal of 200 km of safe lanes. Quimper also gives riders 600 bicycle parking spaces, which matters after coffee or errands. Leucémie Espoir Cyclisme covers road, track, cyclocross, and mountain biking, with road rides leaving from the CCI of Quimper and track sessions at the velodrome every Wednesday. Vélo Sport Quimpérois brings the old-school race pulse. La Nyctalope, Kemper'ose Cyclo, Menfoues race, Petit Guelen race, and the VTT race on May 24th keep things sharp. The climbs sit on Le Frugy, the coast road days, and the Brest to Quimper route.
April to October suits cycling best, especially when you want base miles out toward the Breton coast. July and August bring the warmest days, with average highs around 25°C, so locals start earlier and keep bottles honest. Summer also adds the beach bus route, which can make point-to-point plans feel easier. Runners still use the Odet, the chemin de halage, and shaded Promenade work when the sun sits high. Winter changes the feel more than the routes. January averages around 7°C, December is the wettest month, and 1100 mm of annual rain means cyclocross, singletrack, and steady river loops earn their place.
