アミアン周辺のHalf Marathonレース

The Transquar de Beauvais begins at the Hotel de Ville in Beauvais, located in the Oise department of Hauts-de-France. This event incorporates road running and Nordic walking within the city center. The program includes 5 km, 10 km, and half marathon distances, along with Transkids for children. Consequently, participants range from families and walkers to runners competing in the full 21.1 km. It typically occurs near the year's end, with the next edition scheduled for early October. The event has been organized annually since 2012. The routes wind through Beauvais, utilizing city streets and public green areas like Parc Kennedy and Square Jules Briere. Participants will run along sections near the Therain, the Avelon, and the Saint-Quentin river. The half marathon route includes three challenging hills. The course highlights local landmarks through ground markings, such as the 15th-century Tour Saint-Lucien and Saint-Pierre-de-Beauvais Cathedral, constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries. The finish line is situated before the Jeanne Hachette statue and its mirror fountains. Many participants remain afterward to view the cathedral's stained glass, astronomical clock, and 14th-century medieval clock, or to sample local specialties such as ficelle picarde and flamiche aux poireaux.

Le Run'Tour Noeuxois is a Sunday morning race series held in Nœux-les-Mines, located in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France.

The program includes distances from short youth events up to 10 km races, with a 21 km option for the longest distance. The listed distances are 600 m, 1 km, 2 km, 3 km, 6 km, 10 km, and 21 km, allowing families and local club runners to participate in the same event without requiring identical paces or objectives. The morning begins with the 21 km event, followed by the 10 km and 6 km races, concluding with the shorter youth races around midday. Noeux Athlét organizes the series, and a recent edition saw 334 participants.

The 100 Km de la Somme et Marathon d'Amiens Métropole is a road-running series held in Amiens, in the Somme department of Hauts-de-France, in early October. The program includes three distances: a 100 km ultramarathon, a marathon, and a half marathon. The half marathon is open to solo runners or three-person relay teams. The event began in 1979, and the 100 km race holds a strong reputation in France because of its distance, history, and position on the long-distance calendar. All three routes follow the Somme river, traveling between Amiens, the surrounding countryside, and Picardy villages. The marathon turns around at Bourdon, while the 100 km continues west to Pont-Rémy. Runners pass locations such as Picquigny, Breilly, Condé-Folie, and Longpré-les-Corps-Saints. The courses combine urban sections with greenways, paths, riverside stretches, and open natural areas, creating a sense of a long journey through the Somme valley rather than repeated laps.

The Trail des Mineurs in Grenay, Pas-de-Calais, is a trail race set in a former coal-mining region, distinct from mountain races. Participants can select from short and middle-distance options: a 10 km route with 180 m elevation gain, a 16 km route with 320 m, and a 22 km route with 400 m. The ascents are on the terrils, the slag heaps from the mines. Even the shortest race includes a climb up one, and the longest involves ascending five. The course winds through slag heaps and past mining landmarks, connecting the race to northern France's industrial history. This event is part of the Trail des Mineurs series and adopts the slogan “Il va falloir aller au charbon!” which translates to “You’ll have to go to the coal!” The organisers state the course is accessible, allowing for walking, and is suitable for more than just experienced trail runners. All finishers receive a medal, a trail cup, photos, beer, and fries. Refreshments are provided along the route and at the finish, and a physiotherapist will be on hand post-race.

Participants can select either a 10 km or 21 km route, with shorter options available for children ranging from toddlers to teenagers. The event centers on running after dark on trails, making headlamps and forest paths fundamental elements of the experience. The courses navigate woodland trails and winding paths surrounding the Berny water body. The 21 km route incorporates technical sections, forest ascents, and frequent pace alterations, while the 10 km course maintains a faster pace but still features inclines and paths through undergrowth. The atmosphere is inspired by local 17th-century legends, and runners will pass the Moulin du Souffle de la Terre. Post-race refreshments, on-site parking, and a food and drink vendor contribute to its appeal as a local event for both families and trail runners.
