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 des Bornes Frontières is a road-running event in La Flamengrie, a village in the Nord department of northern France. The main races are 5 km and 10 km, both starting at 10:30 AM, making it a compact local race day rather than a long-distance festival. The program also includes youth races over short distances (0.5 km, 1.4 km, and 2.8 km), plus a 9 km walk for those who wish to participate without racing. Results are published separately for the youth races, the 5 km, and the 10 km, indicating a community event accommodating children, regular road runners, and walkers.

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.

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.

The Trail zig zag de Montcy Notre Dame is a small trail event held in Montcy-Notre-Dame, located in the Ardennes. It features two short trail races: a 7 km and a 15 km, both commencing at 10:00. Additionally, there is a 7.5 km walk beginning at 09:00. Both trail races have 200 meters of elevation gain, meaning even the shorter distance includes significant uphill sections. This event is categorized as Trail découverte. The registration fee for each trail race is 3 EUR, and the event is organized by Charleville Mézières Athlétisme.

La Gelbressoise is a small nature-running event in Gelbressée, near Namur in Belgium’s Ardennes region, held in November. Participants can select from 20 km, 12 km, and 5 km courses, accommodating those seeking a longer countryside run and those preferring a short local race. The three distances are managed as distinct events, with limits of 300 runners for the 20 km and 600 runners each for the 12 km and 5 km. Registration is exclusively online, without on-site sign-ups. The stated fees are 10 EUR for 20 km, 7 EUR for 12 km, and 5 EUR for 5 km, prior to additional registration charges.

On Ciney's hilly streets, fewer than a handful of runners have ever broken 30 minutes for the 10 km since 1988. The Corrida de Ciney is a late-December road race in Ciney, Belgium, in Namur province and the Condroz region. Runners can choose 5 km or 10 km, with children's races also on the program. The race is also called the Corrida des Féeries or Corrida de la Saint-Sylvestre, fitting its slot between the end-of-year holidays. The course runs through the city rather than on a flat, purpose-built speed loop, so fast times stand out. The event is organized by ARCH Athlétisme and draws a large local field, with recent participation around 1,500 finishers and earlier editions already topping 1,100 athletes. It also includes a Think Pink team relay and joëlette races, so the day is not only for club runners chasing sharp times. The front end can still be serious: the 5 km has produced course-record running, close duels between local and regional athletes, and winners with track credentials such as steeplechase specialist Clément Labar.

Jogging de l'Athénée de Gembloux is an evening street race held in Gembloux, organized by the Athénée Royal de Gembloux. Adult participants begin at 19:00 and can select between a 5 km or 10 km distance. The 10 km route involves completing the 5 km loop twice. This race is designed for a wide range of participants, not exclusively fast club runners, featuring an accessible urban course, aid stations, professional timing, and changing facilities. The school's involvement is integral to the event. Children under 12 can participate in a free kids' run at 18:30, and childcare is provided during the adult races. Students and school staff benefit from a reduced entry fee, with affordable options available for external runners. Following the races, a bar and refreshments are available, making the event a community gathering for the local school and residents, in addition to being a 5 km or 10 km race.

The Corrida du Sacré-Coeur is a Friday-evening road race held in Écaussinnes, Hainaut, Belgium. It starts at the École du Sacré-Coeur on Rue du Flou. The primary distances offered are 5 km and 10 km, with additional 800 m and 1.6 km races for younger participants. Runners begin from Place Cousin. The event is designed for children, casual joggers, club runners, and individuals seeking a brief local race following their workday. Now in its twentieth edition, the Corrida du Sacré-Coeur is listed in the Atlas des Joggings et Marathons de Belgique. It attracts hundreds of participants and concludes with refreshments, a post-work social gathering, and occasional live music.
