La bourbonnienne - Bourbon-Lancy
La Bourbonnienne is an evening road race in Bourbon-Lancy, organized by the running section of AS FPT. The event is in its 22nd edition and offers two familiar distances: 5 km and 10 km.
The 5 km route follows the lake, then runs through Saint-Prix, Thermal, and Puzenat parks before dropping back toward the factory. The 10 km shares the early route, breaks away in Puzenat park for the heights of Bel-air, then comes back by the Boussy climb, the ramparts, and the old quarter.
Les dix des ducs - Montluçon
Les Dix des Ducs is a road race series in Montluçon, centered on a 10 km event. It begins at 11:10 from Quai Rouget de Lisle on rue Fargin Fayolle and concludes at place Piquand, beneath the Château des Ducs de Bourbon. This main race follows a two-loop course, recognized with an FFA Bronze label, and qualifies participants for the French 10 km Championship. Competitors must be born in 2010 or earlier and present an FFA license or a medical certificate for competitive running.
The course crosses the flatter sections of Montluçon, incorporating the suburbs, the Cher riverbanks, and the area near the ducal castle, avoiding a hilly, scenic route. Pace setters are available for 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60-minute finishes, catering to runners aiming for specific times and local club members. The 10 km race has a 1 hour 30 minute time limit, with the first loop requiring completion within 50 minutes. Montluçon Athlétisme also organizes shorter races of 5 km, 2.5 km, and 1000 m for younger participants, and entry numbers are capped by the organizer to ensure manageable race-day conditions.
Running Limagne
Running Limagne begins on the road to Entraigues, near the cemetery at the edge of Chappes, and concludes in front of the Chappes sports complex. This road running event, held in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, offers a 10 km race and a half marathon in October.
Both courses are entirely on roads, utilizing loops through Chappes, Entraigues, and Chavaroux. The half marathon completes the 10 km loop twice, while the 10 km race provides runners the same flat, fast terrain in a single lap. With very little elevation gain, it is a suitable option for those aiming for a personal best rather than a challenging trail run. Bibs are collected on race morning at the gymnasium within the Chappes sports complex. The two races begin consecutively, with the half marathon starting first.
Trail du Haut Clunysois
The Trail du Haut Clunysois is an autumn trail-running event held in Dompierre-les-Ormes, South Burgundy. It is organized as a community day on natural terrain, offering five race distances: 67.6 km, 43.79 km, 30.1 km, 20.02 km, and 10.56 km.
The longest course, La Camille Forest, involves 2301 m of elevation change, presenting a mountain-style challenge. The intermediate distances also feature significant climbs: Saint Cyr - Mere Boitier covers 43.79 km with 1400 m of gain, and La Buissonniere is 30.1 km with 1056 m of elevation gain. For shorter options, La Gege offers 20.02 km with 535 m of climbing, and the Trail Decouverte is a 10.56 km route with 201 m of ascent.
La Bourbonnienne
La Bourbonnienne is a road race series held in Bourbon-Lancy, located in the Saône-et-Loire department of France. Taking place in mid-October, it features a 10 km loop, a 5 km race, events for children and juniors, and a 10 km walk, catering to various participant types.
The 10 km event is the primary attraction and the most attended distance. The race is described as both an urban and a night race, distinguishing it from typical rural road events. The prior edition saw over 100 participants, indicating its status as a modest local gathering rather than a large-scale competition.
Marathon des Puys
Marathon des Puys is a city road race held in Clermont-Ferrand, within the Puy-de-Dôme department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The primary event is a 42.195 km marathon, with options for 10 km or 5 km races. Duo and relay formats are also available for the marathon distance.
The race utilizes its location in a volcanic region, with finishers calling it simply “a volcanic marathon.” It is part of a French race series focused on helping runners explore local areas and heritage. The appeal lies not just in the distance but in Clermont-Ferrand's setting within the Puys landscape.
Les Foulées Parodiennes - Paray Le Monial
Les Foulées Parodiennes is a late-October running event in Paray-le-Monial, located in the Charolais-Brionnais area of France. It features two distances: 10 km and 18 km. The 10 km race is for participants aged 14 and older, while the 18 km race is for those aged 16 and older. With a participant cap of 300, it resembles a local nature race more than a large city event.
The race begins at the Salle de Bellevue, on Rue du 22 Août 1944 in the Bellevue district. It then proceeds through a natural course within the Bois des Aisances and around the Étangs des Moines. The route is rolling, not mountainous, with numerous single-track sections through woods and alongside ponds. The Union athlétique Charolais-Brionnais (UACB) organizes the event. Earlier Paray races, like the 10 km de Paray and the Tour des Sables, used town-based courses before this move into nature. This setup is suitable for experienced runners, as well as individuals seeking a sporty walk in a tranquil outdoor environment.
La Courstache Aubière
At La Courstache in Aubière, near Clermont-Ferrand, the moustache is part of the point: runners can arrive with their own or get one painted at the makeup areas before starting. The event raises money for the fight against male cancers, with 100% of registration fees going to the La Courstache Endowment Fund. It offers FFA-certified timed 5 km and 10 km road races, plus a 5 km walk or free-pace solidarity option for those who want the cause without a race clock.
The races use public roads, including sections temporarily closed to traffic, and the event is run with ASPTT Clermont and a large volunteer security team. Recent editions have drawn more than 6,500 participants overall, while the 10 km alone has listed over 2,100 finishers. Families, walkers, club runners, first-timers, and people with reduced mobility all have a place through the 5 km solidarity format. The welcome village adds men’s health and cancer-prevention stands, and the fund has paid for concrete local projects such as virtual reality headsets and resin 3D printers for Centre Jean Perrin, adaptive physical activity equipment, and socio-esthetic support care at Clermont-Ferrand hospital.
10 km de Riorges
The 10 km de Riorges is a two-loop road race held in Riorges, within the Loire department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, typically taking place in early November. ORMA, the local athletics club, is the organizer, and the event also features a certified 5 km race. Both races commence at 110 Rue Paul Forge, with the 5 km starting before the 10 km later in the morning. Each distance will have its own overall ranking.
The 10 km course consists of two 5 km asphalt loops, making the format straightforward and suitable for runners aiming for a personal best. The 10 km holds an FFA label, allowing participants to qualify for the French Athletics Championships, providing a competitive incentive for club runners. The event maintains a local, family-friendly atmosphere, offering free youth races, encouraging friends and families to attend, and including a raffle for registered runners to win a bib for a future edition. With numerous past editions, it stands as a consistent Riorges club race.
La Courstache
La Courstache is a charity run and walk in Aubière, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The concept is straightforward: wear a mustache and raise funds for the fight against male cancers. It typically takes place in November, featuring timed 5 km and 10 km road races, alongside a 5 km walk or free-pace option for those preferring not to race against time.
The event welcomes both runners and walkers, allowing club athletes, casual joggers, families, and supporters to participate. Mustaches are integral to the tradition; men are encouraged to grow one, fake mustaches are provided, and makeup stations assist everyone in joining the theme. ASPTT Athlétisme, a French athletics club, manages the race, offering refreshment stations and changing facilities. The series has seen over 24,500 participants in total, with a recent edition attracting more than 6,500 people and raising over 260,000 euros for men’s health causes.
Trail le gargantuesque - Saint-Pierre-le-Moûtier
Trail le gargantuesque is a small trail and walking event in Saint-Pierre-le-Moûtier, located in the Nièvre department of central France. The two running options begin simultaneously in the morning: a 12.2 km trail featuring 50 m of elevation gain and a 17.3 km trail with 250 m of elevation gain. Hikers commence their activity shortly thereafter, with a 10 km hike and a distinct 10 km Nordic walking option.
The event follows a simple, local format with low entry fees for all options: 6 EUR for the shorter trail, 8 EUR for the longer one, 2 EUR for the hike, and 3 EUR for Nordic walking. USSP organizes the event. A recent edition recorded 268 participants, indicating it is more of a community race day than a crowded mass event.
Espri'Trail des Badins
Espri'Trail des Badins is a trail-running event in Châteldon, a village in the Puy-de-Dôme department of central France, with races typically held in early November. It provides three off-road distances: approximately 9.6 km, 14 km, and 21.3 to 22 km. Runners can select a short local trail or a more challenging half-marathon-style course. The event's tagline is “Espri’Explosif,” and the longest race involves a climb of roughly 1,020 metres, indicating a steep route rather than a leisurely countryside run.
The courses are set around Châteldon in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The shorter routes include significant elevation gain: about 330 metres for the 9.6 km race and about 660 metres for the 14 km race. Aloha Evasion organizes the event, targeting trail runners interested in local food and lower-impact events. Previous listings referred to it as the Eco Trail des Badins, suggesting the current Espri'Trail version maintains that outdoor, environmentally conscious identity while featuring three compact yet hilly distances.

About 10K races in Vichy
Vichy Training Notes
Vichy hosts 54 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 the Allier river first, because the city is small and the water keeps the rhythm easy. Allier Lake gives flat base miles, steady Z2, and simple intervals without much thinking. Runners use the developed walk on the banks of the Allier Lake when they want something predictable. Run clubs are not named here, so the race calendar does the social work. Foulées Vichyssoises, Foulées d'or de la RNS - Vichy, Jeux des Master de Vichy, and 10k Night - Bellerive Sur Allier give the city its anchors. Trail du Vernet and La Montagne Verte pull runners out when flat feels too polite.
Locals ride out of Vichy on the Via Allier when they want clean tempo without drama. The Via Allier stage from Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule to Vichy runs 34 km and includes 101m of ascents and 84m of descents. The green lane gives 27 kilometers between Billy and Saint-Yorre, and the Allier River is revealed in all its states. Club Cyclotouriste DH Vichy, founded in 1983, rides Wednesdays and Saturdays in the good season and keeps winter routes too. Club cyclo DHV also points riders toward AUDAX or BRM days. The Bourbonnaise Mountains hold the real climbing, with the hilly 90 km Ironman 70.3 bike ride contrasting hard with flat Vichy.
Good season means Wednesdays and Saturdays keep rolling for the club, and the city works well for steady run volume around the Allier. August brings an average temperature around 25C, but Ironman race forecasts have sat at 34-35C and the mercury can rise to 38 degrees Celsius on the bike and run. Locals keep summer sessions honest, because I simply don't want to go that deep as it gets hotter. Winter changes the map more than the mood. Heavy snows in the Massif Central often make roads impassable, so riders stay closer to Vichy and runners lean harder on the flat lake and river paths.
