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.

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.

The Corrida de Noël de Saint-Saturnin is a mid-December road race held in Saint-Saturnin, Sarthe, France. Participants can select from two distances: 5 km and 10 km. Its Christmas timing lends it the atmosphere of a local end-of-year gathering rather than a large urban event. One euro from each registration fee is donated to the association Poetic'Alix, adding a small charitable contribution. The competitive field has featured returning local athletes and consistent participants. Kévin André, a CERN physicist residing in Geneva, returns during his winter break and has secured victories in both the 5 km and 10 km events. In one 10 km race, he and Hermann Landemaine established an early lead, with André eventually pulling away. Estelle Loison, another former resident of the area, also returned and won her race. Timing services are provided by IPITOS, and the event includes app-based live GPS tracking and a fan zone for spectators to monitor participants.

Corrida d'Arnage is a road race held in early January in Arnage, a town in Sarthe, France, within the Pays de la Loire region, close to Le Mans. It follows a flat route through the town's central streets, offering three distances: a 1.2 km race for children and families, and 5 km and 10 km races for older participants. The 5 km is open to the minimes age group and above, and the 10 km is open to cadets and above, meaning the event accommodates young children, club runners, and adult road racers on the same circuit. The main races often sell out before race day, and registration is not available on the day. The event maintains a strong club-running focus, with allocated bibs for FFA-licensed runners in both the 5 km and 10 km, while also accommodating non-licensed runners at affordable entry fees. Bib collection takes place at La Bulle, located behind the town hall, and requires photo ID. One euro from each bib purchase is donated to a local solidarity fund that assists a family with a disabled child. The race has completed over thirty editions and surpassed its participation record following a less successful edition with approximately 900 runners. It now presents as a focused local event that has regained its participant numbers while retaining its town-centre scale.

Cross Ouest France draws thousands of runners to Le Mans, Sarthe, in mid-January for a large cross-country race weekend supported by Ouest-France, the major French daily newspaper. Established in 1981, it features 16 races, giving it the feel of a running festival rather than a single event. The schedule includes a 20 km trail and a 10 km Nature race, alongside 7 km and 5 km cross-country races. A separate 5 km race is designated for women. Additionally, there is a handisport race, 13 km and 7 km Nordic walking events, canicross, children’s races, and a 2.5 km family loop. This variety allows club runners, walkers, families, children, and runners with dogs to participate in the same event.

Cross Ouest-France Pays-de-la-Loire is a long cross-country race held annually at the Arche de la nature in Le Mans, France, since 1981. It was established by the Ouest-France newspaper and the City of Le Mans, and is organized by the Ligue d'athlétisme des Pays de Loire. The event includes various races: children’s and beginner events of 1 to 2 km, 3 km, 6 km, and 10 km races, plus Nordic walking, hiking routes, and a 24 km trail option. The cross-country setting differs from a road race, with participants competing on natural terrain instead of city streets. Professionals and amateurs compete together, and the race attracts international athletes alongside many children and local runners. Its first edition saw over 4,000 participants, and the event weekend has since reached five-figure fields across all disciplines. Vincent Rousseau and Driss el-Himer are the most successful men in the long race with three victories each, while Christine Loiseau holds the women’s record with three wins.

Fresn'Urban Trail is a mid-February urban trail race in Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, a small town in the Sarthe department in the northeast of Pays de la Loire. Runners choose either 5 km or 10 km, with the longer race repeating the same 5 km loop twice. February is significant: organizers advise runners to dress warmly, marking this as a winter event rather than a mild spring road race. The route guides runners through the streets of Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, near the Alpes Mancelles, an area local trail runners know well. The town is a petite cite de caractere and was named France's second favorite village in a public ranking associated with Stephane Bern. The event is aimed at a broad audience, offering a family-friendly atmosphere, an authentic local setting, and distance options for both shorter efforts and those completing the full 10 km.

The Trail nocturne des Alpes Mancelles is a late-winter trail race held in Saint-Léonard-des-Bois, a village known for outdoor sports in the Alpes Mancelles region of Sarthe. Its identity is clear from the name: it's trail running with a night-race atmosphere, organized by trail enthusiasts for fellow trail runners. Practical services are provided, including food, bag drop, picnic space, GPX files sent in advance, and bib pickup at the Gîte de Vandroeuvre. The course crosses the rugged terrain surrounding Saint-Léonard-des-Bois, featuring rocky sections and challenging climbs before giving way to flatter parts where runners can push the pace. A shorter 9 km daytime race was introduced. The longer races attract runners from local clubs, nearby towns, and even former footballers from Fresnay-sur-Sarthe. Mud and wet conditions are common locally, making the race suitable for those comfortable with winter trail running rather than road running.

The Le Fresn'Urban Trail takes place in mid-February in Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, a small town in the Sarthe department designated a Petite Cité de caractère. It is an urban trail offering two adult distances: 5 km or 10 km, both utilizing the same 5 km loop, run once or twice. The afternoon schedule keeps the event concise, with the 5 km race preceding the 10 km, and two complimentary children's races scheduled around them. The course winds through the historic streets of Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, passes the town's medieval castle, follows the Sarthe river, and ascends the Coteau des Vignes. This climb is situated within a protected sensitive natural area, distinguishing the race from a simple town run. Families are included in the day's activities: children can participate in the 2 km Galopades Fresnoises or the 650 m Balade des bambins. Following the races, participants enjoy crepes and mulled wine, contributing to the event's modest, local character rather than a large-city race ambiance.

The 10 km de Sargé is a road race held in Sargé-lès-le-Mans, a commune in Sarthe within France’s Pays de la Loire region. Typically scheduled for mid-April, it features two race options: 5 km and 10 km, with the 10 km attracting more participants. This event is intended for runners, not walkers. In a past running, the 10 km race saw over 300 finishers, and the 5 km exceeded 100. Both distances follow a single-loop course winding through town and the natural areas surrounding Sargé-lès-le-Mans. The race demands consistent effort rather than a leisurely pace, particularly for the 10 km. Participants traveling from outside the region are near Le Mans, offering opportunities to visit the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit, explore the historic town center, sample regional wines, or travel approximately one hour to the Perche regional nature park.

The Trail Urbain du Mans is an urban trail running event held in Le Mans, located in France's Sarthe department. It takes place in March, with the specific date yet to be announced. This event falls under the “Trail découverte” category, designed for runners seeking an accessible trail experience rather than a demanding mountain race. The event offers 5 km, 10 km, and 20 km running distances, alongside a 12 km hiking option and races for children. The shorter running courses feature some elevation changes. The 5 km route has 150 m of elevation gain, and the 10 km route has 200 m. This offers more than a typical flat city run, despite the absence of a detailed street-by-street course map. Participants can opt for a short, fast run or the longer 20 km trail. A dedicated hike is available for walkers, and children's events ensure family participation. Le Mans Urban Trail organizes the race and manages its website and Facebook page.

The 10 Km de Changé is a road race held in late March in Changé, a town in Sarthe within France's Pays de la Loire region. Runners may select either a 5 km or 10 km distance, accommodating first-time participants, regular club runners, and those seeking a more challenging effort. The course remains within the municipality, combining town streets with parkland sections, offering more variation than a simple out-and-back on main roads. The race headquarters are at the Gymnase de l'Auneau on rue Louise Michel, with bib collection available on Saturday afternoon and on race day with identification. On-site registration is not available, and online entry concludes on the Friday preceding the race or sooner if bibs are depleted. Both distances are eligible for French Championship qualifying points, attracting competitive runners, while the shorter distance remains accessible for beginners. Minors require a health questionnaire in lieu of a medical certificate, and the organizers provide distinct course maps for the 5 km and 10 km routes.
