Trail des Roses is a winter trail race in Moras offering two timed distances: 10 km and 21 km. With a limit of 900 participants, organizers frequently turn away applicants, indicating it's a local-feeling event that consistently fills its capacity. The race is presented as a chance to regain fitness: challenging for those aiming for a personal best, yet relaxed enough for participants restarting their season with companions. The courses feature viewpoints, ascents, and descents that organizers acknowledge will be physically demanding. These routes are in their second and final iteration, offering participants familiar with them a last opportunity to improve their times before the race course is altered. Upon finishing, all participants receive a rose, a beverage choice (beer or other), and a local Moras snack. The post-race gathering is considered an integral part of the event.

The Foulée des Remparts is an October running event in Chabeuil, France, offering two start-line choices: a 5 km race and a 14 km race. Both races commence at 15:00, meaning the shorter and longer fields follow the same race-day schedule. The 5 km presents a less demanding route with 27 metres of elevation gain and a 7 EUR registration fee. The 14 km route features 128 metres of climb and costs 14 EUR. The shorter race is designated as La petite foulée, and the longer race is known locally as La Chabeuilloise. Organized by FOULEE DES REMPARTS, the event has surpassed thirty editions, establishing it as a long-standing fixture in Chabeuil rather than a recent, one-time event.

Le Grand Prix de la Châtaigne takes place in late October in Lamastre, a town in France’s Ardèche region. The event offers short urban trail distances: a 5.3 km option, a 10.4 to 10.6 km route, and a 5.3 km walk. The races are held in semi-darkness through the town center, requiring participants to use headlamps. The program also features courses for children and juniors. The format is suitable for families and runners seeking a brief evening challenge instead of a lengthy mountain race. The urban trail covers approximately 280 meters of elevation gain, adding difficulty to the shorter distances. This event is part of the Challenge Yves Forot, organized by the Lamastre Town Hall’s sports department with support from local Crédit Agricole. A free 5.3 km hike benefits Octobre Rose, and the evening concludes with a complimentary tasting of roasted chestnuts, aligning with the race's theme.

Crest'zy Night begins after dark from the Mistral bridge in Crest, Drôme department, southeastern France. This race night is open to all, featuring a 1 km children's race, a 5 km run, and a 10 km trail race with approximately 100 m of elevation gain. The route goes through the streets of Crest, along the Drôme river banks, and winds through the medieval lanes of the old town. A.S. ARMORIN organizes the event. A previous edition had 459 participants, positioning it as a local community night race rather than a large city event.

It is a local road-running event with a low entry fee starting at 5 €, and registration is handled through le-sportif.com. The race supports the Téléthon, so it sits in the familiar French charity-race tradition rather than feeling like a purely competitive fixture. Practical details are shared through the La Foulée de la Truffe website, with André Charpentier listed as the contact for information.

Noctu Trail'Eurre is a small night trail event in Eurre, in France's Drôme region, with runners starting at 6 PM. The program includes two trail races, approximately 14 km and 7.5 km, plus a 7.5 km walk and youth races later in the evening. It is designed for local runners, walkers, and families, not exclusively experienced trail racers. The routes consist mainly of tracks and trails, with about 90% off-road through the woods between Eurre and Upie and around the Bois de Miery. The terrain is hilly but not technical. The short route and walk ascend about 250 meters, while the long race climbs between 500 and 570 meters. TCVD organizes the event, with entries limited to 350 runners and walkers. A local tradition is the hot soup served post-race.

Trail Roche Colombe de la Paix starts from the village of Saou in the Drôme, in southeast France, with the listed start in June. It is a trail running event with three distances: 27 km, 14 km, and 5 km. The 27 km race is the main challenge, with 1,650 m of climbing, while the 14 km and 5 km formats give runners shorter ways into the same event. The courses mostly use local trails and paths through preserved natural spaces around Saou. The race is aimed at trail runners rather than road-race crowds, so the day is built around off-road terrain, climbing, and shared time on the paths. Official information is published through the Trail Roche Colombe de la Paix website and its Facebook page.

Trail des 3 pics is a trail running event in Burzet, a village in the Ardèche area of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It offers three race options: 32 km with 1,450 metres of climbing, 16 km with 710 metres of climbing, and a 6.3 km route with 260 metres of climbing. The longer race suits experienced runners seeking a solid mountain-style effort, while the shorter routes provide an entry for newer runners without the full distance. Burzet itself contributes to the appeal, and participants can also visit the village’s Saint-André church, a local historic monument.

La Chabeuilloise is a road race held in Chabeuil, a town in the Drôme department of France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Union Sportive Athlétique Chabeuil organizes the event, which features two main distances: 5 km and 10 km. Two separate 1 km races for children take place later in the morning. The start and finish are located at Stade des Cerisiers, the local athletics stadium. The 5 km course includes approximately 40 meters of elevation gain. The 10 km course consists of two laps of the same route, with an estimated 60 to 80 meters of elevation gain. This makes it a road race with some undulation rather than a completely flat course. The route winds through village streets and country paths surrounding Chabeuil. It is a local club race suitable for adults seeking a short road run and for families bringing children to participate in the shorter races.
