Trail des castagnes - Lamalou-les-Bains
Beaver Trail
The Beaver Trail is a series of technical trail races held in Poulx, a small commune near Nîmes in the Gard department of Occitanie, taking place under the October sun. It features five trail races and a walking option: 9 km, 18 km, 28 km, 50 km, 80 km, and a 10 km Nordic walk. The Ti' Beaver covers 200 m of elevation gain, the 18 km Beaver Découverte has 650 m of climbing, the 28 km Beaver Confirmé climbs 1,200 m, the 50 km Beaver Intense gains 1,850 m, and the 80 km Trail Peï lists 1,000 m of ascent.
The courses traverse the rugged natural terrain surrounding the Gardon gorges, with the river accompanying participants through an area covering three Natura 2000 sites. The 28 km and 50 km races are eligible for ITRA points and serve as UTMB World Series Qualifiers. They are also part of the Challenge Gardois des Trails, with Beaver Trail being the second-to-last event before Hivernatrail in December. The 10 km Nordic walk includes a charitable component, with its entire registration fee donated to the League Against Cancer.
La course rose - Agde
La Course Rose brings together thousands of participants in Cap d'Agde each October for a pink-themed morning event supporting the fight against breast cancer. Organized by the Ligue contre le Cancer d'Agde, the event features 5 km and 10 km runs, a walking option, and a free 1 km race for children under six.
The central activity begins near the Palais des Congrès, where the assembled crowd forms the most striking visual element of the event. Participants warm up with music before the start, guided by Doris and Maëlys Diaz. The field comprises families, walkers, athletes from local clubs, and groups like RCO Agde. Recent years have seen nearly 3,000 participants, and local media regard it as Agde's primary sporting occasion of the year.
Semi-Marathon de Sète
The Semi-Marathon de Sète is an October road race held in Sète, a port city in Hérault, Occitanie, situated next to the Thau Lagoon. The primary event is the 21.1 km half marathon, complemented by shorter 10 km and 5 km races, ensuring participation opportunities beyond just half-marathon competitors.
The race route features sections along the coast, a notable detail from the event's information. The event benefits the charity Les Dys Mille Pas. Its promotional materials highlight community, shared experiences, inclusivity, and personal challenge. The entry fees are set at 10 EUR for the 5 km, 15 EUR for the 10 km, and 25 EUR for the half marathon.
Trail des Castagnes
Trail des Castagnes is a night trail race held in Lamalou-les-Bains, a spa town in southern France. Taking place in early October, it follows a straightforward format: approximately 10 km with 430 meters of elevation gain, organized by Caroux X-Trail.
The race begins at the Parc du Casino in Lamalou-les-Bains, with participants starting from the town center before entering a brief, hilly night course. Following the run, the event includes a musical evening, contributing to a local gathering atmosphere rather than a typical race where participants depart immediately after finishing.
10 km de Montpellier
Tavel nature trail
Tavel Nature Trail is an October trail-running event held in Tavel, a wine village in the Gard department of southern France. The races utilize the vineyard terrain of Tavel rosé, with routes following local paths, garrigue tracks, hilly ground, and wooded sections instead of road loops. The primary options are a short trail of approximately 12 km with about 450 m of elevation gain and a longer race of around 20 to 22 km with roughly 750 m of elevation gain.
The longer race is known as Le 20 de Tavel, offering both solo and relay formats. The shorter race is identified as La Vinaventure or La Vinaventaure in various listings. Certain editions also feature a 10 km walk, Randonnée la divine, making the day accessible to non-runners as well. The event is organized by JOG'IN NATURE TAVEL, providing aid stations and changing facilities. One recent edition saw just over 300 participants.
Béziers Urban Trail
Béziers Urban Trail is an October urban trail race held in Béziers, a city in Hérault, southern France, situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Haut Languedoc mountains. Its main route covers 42 km with approximately 900 m of elevation gain, requiring solid trail running experience despite the urban environment. The event is also described as “run & rando,” allowing participants to choose between a competitive race or a leisurely exploration of the old city.
The course winds through Béziers’ historic center, guiding participants past well-known landmarks and into less-explored areas of this ancient city. The race coincides with the Journées du patrimoine (Heritage Days), integrating local history directly into the event's purpose. This race attracts a diverse field for an urban event and is organized by YESWERUN in collaboration with Les Chameaux de Béziers Triathlon.
Trail des calades
Trail des Calades is a trail-running event in Saint-Jean-de-Cuculles, a village in Hérault in southern France, located at the foot of Pic Saint-Loup. It typically takes place in mid-October and provides two distance options: a 10 km trail and a 17 km trail, with the latter featuring 650 m of elevation gain.
The courses follow the paths surrounding the village, offering runners technical trails, consistent ascents, and quick descents instead of a flat road race. The event attracts a local following alongside visiting trail runners, with over 300 adults and nearly 80 children participating in a recent running. It has been held for at least ten years, and one past anniversary start featured the sound of the pibole, while organizers also honored Jean-Claude Delarue, a local figure with ties to the race community.
Foulées aubaisiennes
Les Foulées Aubaisiennes takes place in Aubais, a village in the Gard department of southern France, with races typically held in October. This event is a series of local races, not a single-distance road race. Participants can select from short races of approximately 5 to 6 km, a 10 km race, and a longer 21.8 km race. Additionally, there is a 10 km route for Nordic walkers.
The race holds a Nature label, and the shorter event is designated as a nature run, though some sources also classify the main running distances as road races. The longer course includes up to 300 m of elevation gain, indicating it is more than a simple village run. AASCAVTT organizes the event, which features children’s races and has attracted nearly 300 participants in the 10 km race, with a high completion rate.
Les 10 km d'Arles
Les 10 km d'Arles is a city road-running event in Arles, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France. Participants gather in late October for a straightforward race format: a 10 km road race, a 5 km road race, and shorter courses designed for children and juniors.
Both adult races feature single-loop courses that wind through the streets of Arles, centering the event on urban running rather than excursions into the countryside. The 10 km is the primary event and the most attended distance, while the 5 km offers a more accessible option for newer runners or those preferring shorter distances. The prior edition attracted over 300 participants, indicating a local, approachable race rather than a large-scale event.
Courir avec Sarah - Saint-Hilaire-d'Ozilhan
Courir avec Sarah in Saint-Hilaire-d'Ozilhan is a charity race scheduled for October, with the specific date yet to be confirmed. The main event is a 10 km run, complemented by walking and Nordic walking options, catering to participants beyond those seeking a standard road-race distance.
The offerings include an 8 km Nordic walk and a 5 km walk that also accommodates Nordic walking. Younger participants have dedicated short races of 1.5 km and 750 m, contributing to the event's atmosphere as a local community gathering rather than a singular competitive field. Registration and logistical information are managed via Miles Republic.

Montpellier Training Notes
Montpellier hosts 61 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals treat the Lez as the spine of running here, especially between Port Marianne and Parc de la Lironde. The city centre gives you La Promenade du Peyrou for flat shakeouts, while Le Bois de Montmaur gives you shaded paths, natural bumps, and fitness trails from 3 to 10 km. Montpellier StaRT Running covers track, trail, and road, and the club meets 52 weeks a year with 7 weekly sessions. The Lez route to étang du Méjean gives you about 20 km round trip when base miles matter. The 20 km de Montpellier, 10 km de Montpellier, Urban trail de Montpellier, and La Montpellier Reine sit on the local race radar.
Locals hit the bike paths first, because Montpellier has 158 km of bike paths and another 100 km planned. Velomagg keeps the easy spins simple with 56 automatic stations and over 2,000 bikes running 24/7. Team SudVelo-Ne Jetez Plus rides seriously without taking itself too seriously, with Saturday rides from 90 to 150 km and Sunday no-drop rides from 60 to 90 km. The Mediterranean Cycle Route and Via Rhôna give you the steady road option. The vineyards start 5 km out, the beaches sit 10 km south, and the real climbs point north toward Pic Saint Loup. Poco Loco - Montpellier - Barcelone à Vélo is the anchor event to know.
Spring and fall are the cleanest training blocks, with enough warmth for Z2 rides and enough softness for intervals along the Lez. Summer brings hot, dry days, so locals run shaded paths at Le Bois de Montmaur, use the Lez early, and save harder riding for cooler hours. Team SudVelo-Ne Jetez Plus shifts toward hill rides in summer, while winter is mostly undulating terrain and strong steady pace. Winter stays cool and damp, so runners lean on asphalt, dirt paths, and park loops, and cyclists keep the base miles rolling toward the coast, La Camargue, or the northern hills.
