Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Foulées Etival - Étival-lès-le-Mans
Foulées Etival is a local road race held in Étival-lès-le-Mans, Sarthe, France, typically in October. The event offers two races: a 5 km run in the morning and a 10 km run later the same morning. This setup allows participants to choose between a short, fast race or a longer distance.
The course consists of a single, very runnable loop, making it straightforward for new participants and attractive for those aiming for a fast finish time. It is an established event on the Sarthe running calendar, still attracting a few hundred runners, with one recent edition seeing 413 participants.
Trail de la foret de russy- foulees gervaisiennes
Les relais de Léonard - Amboise
Les relais de Léonard is a three-hour team relay on Île-d’Or in Amboise, organized by Avenir Amboise Athlétisme. Teams of two to five runners aim to complete as many laps as possible on a 1.5 km grass loop; the softer surface was chosen to be easier on their legs.
The race continues into the evening, so runners finish by headlamp instead of stadium lights. In its second edition, twenty-three teams competed. The winners, Team GTB, completed thirty-two laps for 48 km, and TC Joué finished on the same lap for second place. The event is intended for long-distance runners, although the club president mentioned that the busy French Athletics Federation calendar presents challenges for smaller races.
Trail de la forêt de Russy - Saint-Gervais-la-Forêt
The Trail de la Forêt de Russy is a trail-running event held in Saint-Gervais-la-Forêt, located in France’s Centre-Val de Loire region near Blois. It is part of the Foulées Gervaisiennes series and is organized by a local running club. Participants can select from 27 km, 14 km, and 8 km timed races, along with a 5 km untimed loop, ensuring the event accommodates more than just experienced trail runners. The race takes place in October, with PROTIMING managing the official timing.
The 27 km route crosses the Loire coteau, featuring numerous short ascents and descents instead of a single, extended mountain climb. This characteristic means that even seasoned trail runners might find the 27 km course more demanding than its distance implies. The shorter races provide accessible options for local runners and those new to trail running within the forest setting, while the non-timed 5 km loop is suitable for walkers or those seeking a leisurely outdoor activity. The event also provides live GPS tracking via an app, complete with a fan zone and notifications for supporters to follow participants.
La cenonaise - Cenon-sur-Vienne
La Cenonaise is a women-only running race in Cenon-sur-Vienne, a commune beside the Vienne river in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Runners choose either 5 km or 10 km, and the event supports the fight against breast cancer.
The route uses local paths and countryside around Cenon-sur-Vienne rather than a big-city road course. It is organized by the town hall, with aid stations and changing rooms provided on site. Recent editions have been held in October, marking it as a small autumn community race focused on participation and a clear cause.
10 km de La Flèche
The 10 km de La Flèche is a road race held at the Complexe de la Monnerie / Plage in La Flèche, Sarthe, France. Taking place in mid-October, it features two distances: a 5 km race and a 10 km race. The event is organized by Athlétisme Sarthe et Loir 72 under the names e-Logica 5Km and e-Logica 10Km.
The course follows a path around Monnerie lake, with water present throughout the run. Recent editions have seen strong local participation, with over 500 finishers in the 5 km and more than 1,000 in the 10 km, setting new records. The race maintains a club-friendly atmosphere while attracting runners, timekeepers, and spectators to the lakeside venue. Its slogan, “Run like an Arrow!”, references the town’s name, La Flèche, meaning “the arrow” in French.
Courir santé - La Ville-aux-Dames
The Courir Santé begins at the gymnasium in La Ville-aux-Dames, near Tours. Its Sunday-morning program includes a family race, a 5 km, and a 10 km. The family run starts at 9:30, the 5 km at 10:00, and the 10 km at 10:45. Both timed races are qualifying events, with the 5 km and 10 km carrying Bronze labels.
The 10 km is the main competitive event, serving as a qualifier for the French championships and supporting the departmental championship. This event has been held for at least 29 editions, establishing it as a local fixture. Recent reports highlighted Manuel Amand’s 10 km win, indicating the race attracts serious regional runners alongside families and shorter-distance participants.
Courir santé
Courir santé is a city road race in La Ville-aux-Dames, Indre-et-Loire, France, scheduled for mid-October. Participants can choose between a 5 km or 10 km race, both following a single loop course through the town.
This event functions as a charity race. Separate race options are available for children and juniors, making the day suitable for families alongside adults participating in the 5 km or 10 km distances.
Les foulées pleumartinoises
Course nature Loire-Authion la'titude - Bauné
LA'titude begins at the Bauné sports complex in Loire-Authion, close to Angers, on a Sunday morning in October. This nature event offers two running races, LA rythmée (10 km) and LA sportive (19 km), along with two walks: LA touristique (14 km) and LA familiale (5 km).
The courses traverse undulating paths through orchards, woodlands, and historical sites near Bauné. Loire Authion, in partnership with the Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou athletics club, coordinates the event. The day also features a games area with bumball and tchouckball, music provided by the Los Percutos fanfare, and a 1 euro contribution to the Téléthon from each registration fee. Advance registration is required for runners, while walkers can register on-site. All participants are encouraged to bring a reusable cup. Walkers should also bring a backpack for refreshments provided at the start.
La Ronde de Rotomagos
The La Ronde de Rotomagos begins and ends at the La Chataigneraie 2CV Cross circuit in Pont-de-Ruan, a village in Indre-et-Loire within France's Centre-Val de Loire region. This mid-October running event offers short and middle-distance options: a 5.5 km route, a roughly 10 km trail, and a longer 23.4 km trail, with some sources also listing 15 km and 31 km versions. The shortest race provides a manageable entry for casual runners, while the longer trail routes incorporate forest paths and sufficient elevation to offer more than a flat run.
The courses traverse paths and forest tracks around Val de l'Indre, Pont-de-Ruan, Sache, Thilouze, Artannes, and Monts. The 10.6 km trail includes approximately 200 m of elevation gain, and the 23.4 km route gains about 300 m, indicating the challenge stems from rolling terrain rather than significant climbs. Les Tamalous de Rotomagos, with local volunteers, organize the race, which is closely connected to the surrounding communes rather than a large urban start. Finishers are awarded prizes crafted from local products, contributing to a small-community atmosphere once the forest running concludes.
Bike and Run de Blois
Bike and Run de Blois is a two-person Bike & Run event held in Blois, located in the Loir-et-Cher department of Centre-Val de Loire. Each pair shares a single bicycle, with one partner cycling while the other runs; they may exchange the bike at any point. The race is scheduled for October and includes youth, XS, and S formats. Generation Triathlon Blois is the organizing body.
The shortest courses are designed for young children, and the longest routes extend to approximately 12 km. Consequently, the event accommodates participants from the mini poussin categories up to masters. The straightforward rule provides the race with its strategic depth: teams must balance their pace, bike exchanges, and endurance, ensuring both members finish together. The stated distances are 3 km, 5 km, 6 km, and 12 km, although some event details indicate the full range as 1.6 km to 12.4 km.

About 5K races in Tours
Tours Training Notes
Tours hosts 60 5K 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 Loire riverbanks, the Cher edges, Prébendes Garden, and the Old Tours quarter when they want easy Z2 without overthinking it. The Loire à Vélo route runs 59 km with +18 m when legs need a tidy loop. Urban Trail Tours gives the town its city-hit-out feel. Harmonie Mutuelle Marathon 10-20K Tours is the anchor event, with Abbaye de Marmoutier, Basilique Saint-Martin, Old Tours, and the château de Tours on show. Les Foulées de l'IAE and La Pyjama Party Trail keep the calendar loose and local.
Locals ride the Loire à Vélo when base miles need rhythm, views, and no drama. CCSP Tours gives the city proper club shape, and Le Peloton Café plus its STRAVA CLUB are the names to watch for group rides. Bords de Loire: d'une rive à l'autre runs 29 km from Tours, while Balzac's footsteps to Vouvray keeps it short at 9 km. Château de Villandry and its formal gardens makes a 40 km round trip, and Azay-le-Rideau or Rigny-Ussé both stretch to 80 km. The climbs stay modest around Abilly, Amboise-Chenonceau, and Neuilly, so Paris-Tours feels like the big anchor.
May through September works well for steady riding, and September plus October feel right when the heat drops and the legs want longer Z2. Summers in Tours bring frequent warm days, so locals start early along the Loire and keep intervals sharp before the riverbanks fill. Winter stays mild because Atlantic air masses keep the edge off, and runners can still use the city centre, Prébendes Garden, and the Loire paths. Cyclists shift toward shorter loops, café rides, and steady base miles when the season turns.
