This road race in the Haut-Rhin region features a half marathon, a two-person half-marathon relay, a 10 km race, and a 5 km race.

The course is situated within the Colmar region and is characterized as accessible, making it suitable for runners seeking a standard 10 km challenge without excessive difficulty.

Les Foulées de la Doller begins at 10:00 from Place Guimet in Reiningue, a village in the Sundgau area of Alsace. The Spiridon Sundgau club organizes this Sunday morning road race, offering two distances: a measured 5 km and a 10 km. The races take place on village streets, not a long countryside loop. The first edition filled its 300 places, leading the club to increase capacity to 600 runners. This total is divided between 400 spots for the 10 km and 200 for the new 5 km.

Courses de Colmar by Lonza is a November race day in Colmar, Alsace, with 5 km, 10 km, and kids’ races in the city’s historic center. The event is already into its 40-plus editions, and a recent running drew nearly 2,500 people across the different distances. Entry starts from 5 euros, which gives it a low barrier for families, first-timers, and local runners. The routes use the paved streets of old Colmar, so the race is as much a run through heritage streets as a straightforward road event. Beginners and experienced runners are both part of the crowd, with shorter options for people who want an accessible run and a 10 km for those looking to race harder. The kids’ race makes it feel like a community sports day rather than a standalone adult competition.

Foulées du Souvenir is a pair of trail races in Orbey, in the Vosges mountains of eastern France, run in November around the memorial sites of the Battle of the Linge.

The longer race starts at the Salle Polyvalente d'Orbey, while the shorter one starts at the Col du Wettstein. Both races finish at the Musée Mémorial du Linge, and the finish is tied to a stated purpose: celebrating freedom at a First World War memorial site. The 27.8 km race carries UTMB World Series Qualifier and ITRA status, so it draws trail runners looking for recognized mountain-race credentials as well as local runners. A shuttle bus takes runners back from the finish to the Col du Wettstein or the Salle Polyvalente, and the post-race setup includes physiotherapists and an optional homemade meal.
