10K races near Maromme

La Couronnaise sends runners and walkers into the Forêt des Essarts at Grand-Couronne, in Seine-Maritime, Normandy, in early October. The program is practical: a 5 km road race with a nature-course feel, a 10 km trail race, a 5 km walk, and races for children and juniors. The 10 km route has 72 meters of climbing and starts in the morning, while the 5 km options make the day accessible to people who want a shorter run or a walk rather than a harder trail effort. The race is tied to Octobre Rose, France’s breast cancer awareness month, and entry includes a minimum charity donation of 5 euros. Écolocity adds a local community angle with a raffle whose main prize is a bicycle, plus a sports-clothing collection held alongside the event. The first 400 registered participants receive a windbreaker, giving the race a simple club-event feel. It suits local runners chasing a short effort, trail runners wanting a modest forest course, families bringing children, and walkers joining for the cause.

Les Foulées roses de Bourg-Achard begins and ends at the Place de la mairie, positioning this small Normandy town as the focal point for a Pink October charity morning. This road race and walk is organized by the local athletics club, the town council, and the Foulées roses association to generate funds for breast cancer research. Participants can opt for timed 5 km and 10 km races, while walkers have a 5 km course available. Children are offered a short, complimentary race. The course winds through the town center and the outskirts of Bourg-Achard, avoiding extensive travel into the countryside. The 5 km and 10 km races are open to all, with a limit of 500 participants each, and feature modest entry fees, reflecting the event's community spirit. It attracts both serious runners and casual walkers, families, and individuals motivated primarily by the cause. A prior edition successfully raised close to 4,500 euros for donations. Bib collection is even held at the local Carrefour Market, highlighting the race's integration into the daily life of Bourg-Achard.

The Foulées Bertrimontaises begins and ends on Rue de la Mairie in Bertrimont. This road-race event is organized by Bertrimont Loisirs. It includes a 5 km run, a 10 km run, and a 5 km walk. The 5 km race is open to the minime youth category and up, while the 10 km is open to the cadet category and up, requiring parental authorization for younger participants. The 5 km starts in the morning, with the 10 km and walk beginning later. The route follows a hilly road course. The 5 km is one loop, and the 10 km is two loops, meaning runners in the longer race encounter the same climbs twice. This event is in its second edition. Registration fees support Octobre Rose and breast cancer awareness. Awards are given to the top three men and women in the 5 km.

La Couronnaise is an October run-or-walk event in Grand-Couronne, held in the Forêt des Essarts. Entry requires a minimum €5 donation, framing the race as a local outing with a charitable purpose rather than a formal performance-focused event.

Additionally, Ecolocity is organizing a raffle featuring a bicycle as the top prize, along with a collection of sports clothing.

The 10 km de Serquigny takes place in mid-October in Serquigny, a town in Eure, Normandy. This 10 km road race includes natural elements along its route, differentiating it from a purely urban course. Both licensed and non-licensed runners are eligible to participate, provided they are at least in the Cadet category (age 16 and over).

The Bois-Guillaume Half Marathon is a road race held in mid-October in Bois-Guillaume, a town near Rouen in Normandy. The primary event is a 21.1 km half marathon. A 10 km race is also held that morning, alongside a Joëlette Cup for teams running with a person with a disability. Both the half marathon and 10 km begin at the Espace Guillaume le Conquérant. The main races are popular and can sell out. The 10 km is open to a broad range of participants, from beginners to experienced runners, including youth and seniors. The half marathon course consists of two 10 km loops. It includes urban sections within Bois-Guillaume and a portion that goes through the Forêt Verte. This design offers more variety than a simple town-centre race while maintaining a straightforward format for participants and observers. The Joëlette Cup covers the 10 km distance and has no entry fee. The race also supports Octobre Rose, allowing runners to contribute to the league against cancer. A partner village with food vendors is located behind the Espace Guillaume le Conquérant.

Trail des étangs - Saint-Germain-d'Étables is a trail event held by the Varenne river and the ponds surrounding Saint-Germain-d'Étables. It provides two trail distances, 11 km and 18 km, with a hiking option for those who desire the same outdoor environment without competition. The course follows narrow woodland paths, riverside sections, and offers views over the ponds and valley. Children's races are included on the day, running alongside the main trails, and the event supports the Torcy-le-Petit school cooperative. Participants will find aid stations on the course and at the finish, along with a sweet stand post-race.

Bois-Guillaume’s race day begins at Espace Guillaume le Conquérant with two options: a 10 km run at 9:30 and a half marathon at 9:50. The 10 km follows a simple, low-difficulty route suitable for many participants, whereas the half marathon presents a greater challenge, consisting of two 10 km circuits within Bois-Guillaume. The half marathon features a section through Forêt Verte, offering the longer race its most notable part. This event marks its 37th year and typically attracts a full field, bringing together club athletes, local residents, and newer runners for the same morning. A free Joëlette Cup is also held on the 10 km course, where teams of up to five participants run with an individual with a disability. The race collaborates with Octobre Rose, allowing participants to contribute to the cancer league during registration, and a partner village with food is set up near the starting area.

La Tourvillaise Rose is a road race held in late September in Tourville-la-Rivière, Seine-Maritime, Normandy. Participants can select a 5 km or 10 km run, with an additional 5 km walk available as a non-running option. Both running distances feature a single-loop course, maintaining a straightforward format. The 10 km race attracts the most attention, while the 5 km race and walk broaden the event's appeal to the local community.

Les foulées de la communauté is a mid-September trail race held in Saint-Romain-de-Colbosc, located in Normandy’s Seine-Maritime department. Participants can select from two off-road routes: a 7.8 km trail and a 21 km trail. The 7.8 km race attracts more than 200 finishers, making it the preferred choice for local runners and those seeking a manageable trail run. The 21 km option, with over 100 participants in the past, offers a half-marathon distance challenge on trails.

The Foulées beaudinoises is a trail running race in Bourg-Beaudouin, a village in the Eure department of Normandy. It is listed in French regional race calendars and trail-running listings, with winter editions rather than a spring or summer date. The available listings offer limited detail about the route, distance, or terrain. The clearest picture is of a local Normandy trail event connected to Bourg-Beaudouin and the broader “courir en Normandie” calendar. The event has also been linked with the Challenge de l’Andelle website, suggesting its place in the area’s local running circuit rather than a large standalone race.

The Trail du Rouvray is a November trail race held in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, close to Rouen. The start and finish are located at the INSA gymnasium on avenue Galilée. Participants can select from 10 km, 16 km, or 22 km routes. A 10 km Nordic walking event is also offered. The Running Club Stéphanais 76 is the organizer, and the event has a limit of 850 participants, though additional bibs may be made available if needed. The race routes traverse the Madrillet and Rouvray forests, positioning it as a woodland trail event rather than a road race. The 10 km race and the Nordic walk are self-sufficient. The 16 km and 22 km routes include one aid station located just beyond the 10 km mark, with a potential cutoff time of 1 hour 30 minutes for participants at that point. Entry is open to cadets and older for the 10 km and Nordic walk, and to juniors and older for the longer distances. Prizes will be awarded to overall and category winners.
