La Course aux Flambeaux lets you run with fire, lighting up the night. Dash through the darkness, guided by torches, in a memorable evening that becomes a torch parade.

La Course du Bois du Cazier begins at the Bois du Cazier in Charleroi, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Hainaut, Belgium. This event offers mixed road and trail running, with adult races around 6 km and 16 km, and children's runs of 500 meters and 1 km. The shorter adult course is just over 6 km, and the longer one is a little over 16 km, meaning the listed distances are approximate. The route departs the historic mining site, passing through Marcinelle via paved sections, slag heaps (terrils), and forest paths. Portions of the course overlook Charleroi, providing more variety than a typical city road race. The event accommodates both adults and children. Adult participants receive a bib, electronic timing, aid stations on the course and at the finish, a medal, and a raffle entry. Children get a bib, a snack at the finish, and a medal.

Corrida de Jodoigne is an October night road race held in Jodoigne, Walloon Brabant, Belgium. It crosses the town's historic center and features two primary distances: 5 km and 10 km. A 1.4 km children's run is also available for participants aged 6 to 12. The course has the organizer as surprising and somewhat technical, deviating from a simple flat run through town streets. The event accommodates various participants, from those aiming for a specific time to families and runners seeking a shorter evening race. Each distance has a participant limit of 500.

Infinity Trail Vielsalm is an October trail race in Vielsalm, Belgium, utilizing repeated 7 km loops instead of a single long point-to-point course. Participants can select formats from START Trail to ULTRA Trail, covering distances from 7 km to 70 km. The full ULTRA version involves 10 loops and 3,400 meters of elevation gain, demonstrating that the short lap length does not equate to an easy race. Each loop includes 340 meters of elevation gain, and runners must complete each within one hour to proceed to the next. This structure enforces a reset each lap: recover, refuel, and depart again before the hour expires. The initial loop begins late morning, with the tenth loop serving as a night-time finale for those who have completed the preceding laps. The event welcomes participants of all ages, and its format accommodates both novice runners and those aiming for the full 70 km distance.

The STYREKX Fitness Race Mechelen is an indoor fitness competition in Mechelen, Antwerp province, Belgium, taking place in October. It combines short running circuits with functional exercise stations, resembling a timed gym challenge more than a typical road race. The primary Regular and Xtreme formats consist of ten 800-meter laps, totaling 8 km of running, with an exercise station following each lap. A shorter Light option features nine 400-meter runs. The event is part of the Strong Viking series and maintains an arena atmosphere, incorporating chip timing, designated stations, and a consistent run-exercise cadence. The course is constructed from repeating laps and gym-based exercises, distinct from outdoor obstacles or terrain. Stations involve equipment or activities such as RowErg, StrengthErg, Sled Push, and Loa, with exercises drawn from standard fitness and CrossFit routines. Participants can compete individually, in pairs, or as teams, and the organizer states prior fitness race experience is not required. Staff are stationed to guide participants through the exercises, and the timing chip tracks running, station completion, and transitions. Entry includes a STYREKX Patch, and finishers receive nutrition, a personalized results breakdown, and a certificate; facilities like changing rooms, a cloakroom, and a hydration station are also provided.

EnergyVision Dwars Door Hasselt is a city running event held in Hasselt, Limburg, offering race distances from a 1 km kids run to a 21.0975 km half marathon. It is known locally as Limburg’s coziest city run, yet it is also a significant event, with almost 14,000 runners participating in a recent edition, ranking it as the third largest running event in Flanders. The event features 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, the half marathon, the Persil Kids Run, and a handbike race. The half marathon is officially measured and World Athletics-certified, attracting approximately 3,000 runners since its introduction. The children’s run is untimed, while the 3 km through half marathon races utilize chips to record net time from start to finish. Participants receive a commemorative medal, aid stations along the route and at the finish, changing rooms and showers at PXL, bag storage, and results published online and via Het Belang van Limburg’s digital newspaper.

The Semi-Marathon de la province de Liège begins on Île Monsin, at the Esplanade Roi Albert, and concludes near the new Coronmeuse eco-district. It is a flat, fast race day centered on the half marathon and 10 km, with a 5 km race, an 8 km walk, and a children’s race also scheduled. The start area is at the end of the tram line, allowing runners to reach it by tram at Coronmeuse, a small detail that recalls the old Liège marathon era. The route traces parts of Liège’s industrial and riverside landscape: the banks of the Meuse, the canal, Coronmeuse and its track, the Chertal redevelopment site, and the company roads of Île Monsin, including road number 12. A section of the half marathon follows the path of Liège’s historic marathon; the city hosted one of the world’s earliest marathons, and this event revives that old course. The post-race village is located on the island, near passing boats, making the finish area feel connected to the river and port as much as to the race itself.

The Semi de la Province de Liège begins on Île Monsin, at the Esplanade Roi Albert near the Coronmeuse tram stop, the terminus of Liège’s tram line. This October road race centers on a half marathon, also offering 10 km and 5 km races, plus children’s events and a walking tour on the same day. The routes are flat and quick, with all finishes located close to the new Coronmeuse eco-district. The race draws from Liège’s marathon heritage; the city was the sixth globally to host a marathon, and a section of the current route retraces that original path. For the half marathon and 10 km events, the course order has been altered: the final three kilometers of the previous route now form the beginning, and the initial three kilometers are now at the end. Approximately 6,000 runners are anticipated, with the post-race area situated near the parade boats.

Vestingloop Bergen op Zoom begins and ends on the Grote Markt, located in the historic center of Bergen op Zoom in North Brabant. This road-running event offers short, accessible distances: a 1 km family run, a 5 km run, a 10 km run, and a 5 km Ommetje walking route. The schedule also features 5 km and 10 km corporate runs, welcoming not only club runners focused on speed but also families, walkers, colleagues, and casual runners to the same event. The course highlights the fortress-town's character instead of obscuring it. Participants will run past city landmarks including the Markiezenhof, the Ravelijn, the Lieve Vrouwenpoort, and the Peperbus. The Grote Markt serves as the central gathering point before and after the race. The event benefits the Hersenstichting, the Dutch Brain Foundation, adding a fundraising objective to the running and walking activities. Its core concept is a concise city run through historic Bergen op Zoom, with distances suitable for both novices and experienced runners.

The Maasduinenloop starts and finishes at Landgoed Bleijenbeek in Afferden, with routes entering De Maasduinen National Park. This race, organized annually by Kiwanis Maasduinen in early November, offers distances for children and adults: 500 metres for children up to 7, 1,000 metres for ages 8 to 11, and 5 km and 10 km races. The 10 km course is a single loop. The estate provides practical amenities for runners and spectators, including free parking, changing rooms, showers, and a restaurant. The event supports local children's projects in Bergen, Gennep, and Mook en Middelaar. Recent editions have seen growth, with 323 runners participating in the tenth edition.

The Trail de la Vallée de la Thure by Night is a 12 km night trail race held in Cousolre, Nord department, Hauts-de-France. Typically run in early November, the main race begins at 18:30, requiring participants to use headlamps from the start. The 12 km course includes a 270-metre climb, offering a challenge suitable for both new trail runners and seasoned athletes. The route crosses forest paths, steep ascents, technical terrain, concealed roots, and areas near Cousolre's former quarries. It presents a demanding trail run, not a straightforward road race, featuring descents that challenge balance and speed. RRunning Cousolre organizes the event, fostering a local and welcoming atmosphere where night-trail regulars and newcomers share the course. Post-race, participants receive homemade soup and substantial refreshments, aligning with the event's straightforward concept: compete intensely in the dark, then recuperate together.
