The Foulées du bois de Kerozer is a race in Saint-Avé, Brittany, set within the Kerozer and Lesvellec woods. The main event is a 15 km trail race. It is accompanied by a 5 km race, a Nordic walk, five children’s races, and an Australian pursuit race, a format that results in a single classified finisher. The course was formerly contained entirely within the Bois de Kerozer, initially 13.2 km with one small loop and three large loops, then 12 km over three identical loops, each with an aid station. The present 15 km route spends approximately one-third of its distance in Kerozer. After 2.5 km, it enters the Bois de Lesvellec for an 11 km wooded section. This is connected by a 1 km out-and-back along ponds and a brief detour near the heathland by Rue Pierre Le Nouail. The final 1.5 km leads back to Kerozer, descending before a steep ascent to the finish at the belvedere.

Foulées réguinoises is a local race day in Réguiny, starting in the afternoon with a family atmosphere. Now in its 35th edition, the event features children’s races in the early afternoon before the main runs commence. The main change this year is the introduction of two nature circuits: a 7 km route and a 14 km route. Runners can choose between a short trail-style outing or a longer one. Each entry includes a charitable contribution, with 1 euro from each registration donated to Des Papillons Pour Louna, an organization supporting a young girl with a rare disease.

La Marche des Globules is a non-competitive community walk between Baden and Larmor-Baden in Morbihan. The start window is from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning, with the finish open until 2:00. It is open to everyone, costs 4 euros for adults, and is free for children up to 12. The event is organized by the volunteer blood-donor association for Brech, Baden, Pluneret, and nearby towns. The entry fee promotes blood donation, not prize money or race timing. Participants choose from several marked distances: 5 km, 11 km, 14 km, and 17 km. Extra route options are sometimes added, including one linked to the Sept Iles when passage conditions allow. Registration is handled on site at local venues like the Baden sports hall or Larmor-Baden municipal canteen, depending on the edition. Walkers receive a drink and snack at the finish. Prizes are drawn by lottery, and walking poles are allowed only with plastic tips.

10 Km du Bord de Mer is a road race held on a Saturday in late February in Damgan, a seaside town in Morbihan, Brittany. Participants can select either a 5.5 km or 10 km distance, making the event suitable for beginners and those seeking a more challenging run. The race also benefits a charitable cause, adding a purpose to the day beyond the finish time. The course runs alongside the sea, with Damgan’s coastal location offering runners fresh air, expansive views, and a distinct feeling of being on the Breton coast. The event emphasizes a welcoming local atmosphere and a route adaptable to various skill levels, rather than focusing solely on competitive club runners. It also provides an opportunity for visitors to explore Damgan, a former fishing village featuring beaches and characteristic streets near the race route.

The 10 km du bord de mer - Damgan is a seaside road race in Damgan, offering both 5.5 km and 10 km distances. It functions as a solidarity race, not solely a timed event. Anim'sport Damgan and the extra-municipal sports commission organize it, drawing over 550 participants. The race begins in the afternoon, concluding in a lively finish area where awards and gifts are distributed to winners and participants. Gilbert Bouthémy, president of Anim'sport Damgan, assists with the prize ceremony, and volunteers manage crepe and drink stations. Proceeds benefit Faire face ensemble, a charity supporting cancer patients, their families, and cancer research.

Les 30 km d’Arradon is a running race series in Arradon, featuring a main 30 km race and two other events. It has been held for at least 36 editions, with one edition attracting nearly a thousand participants across the three races. The main race saw an unusual conclusion when Sébastien Le Cocq, who had a lead of over a minute entering the final kilometer, was misdirected by a course marshal. Christophe Olliero finished first and expressed surprise at not seeing Le Cocq ahead, while Le Cocq stated he did not hold the volunteer responsible and highlighted the significance of volunteers in race organization.

The 30 km d'Arradon is an annual running event in Arradon, France, centered on a 30 km main race. The event has occurred at least thirty-six times and offers three race options, meaning the day is not restricted to the headline distance. The races attract close to a thousand participants, including runners from nearby Vannes and clubs like CIMA. The race's most notable story comes from the front of the field: Sébastien Le Cocq was leading the main 30 km by over a minute near the final kilometer when a course marshal directed him incorrectly. Christophe Olliero finished first, but he was surprised not to see Le Cocq ahead and ceded the victory. Le Cocq also declined to fault the volunteer, stating that race volunteers are too important to judge by a single error.

La Nordique de Lorient takes place at Stade du Pouillot on allée du Village de Kérulvé in Lorient, Brittany. It is a Nordic walking event on a circuit, with the main programme typically featuring an open walk and a timed MNCC race in early April. The open walk covers 7.5 km, while the MNCC is 12.5 km and serves as a qualifier for the French Championships. Licensed FFA runners and competition walkers are classified for the national Nordic walking tour ranking. The MNCC course consists of five 2.5 km loops around the Pouillot circuit, allowing spectators and support crews to see walkers multiple times. The event welcomes a wide range of participants, not exclusively specialists, and its open format includes newer Nordic walkers alongside competitive athletes. A 10:30 improvement workshop is available for those registered for the open walk, and an introductory workshop is open to all before the races. Lorient Athlétisme Club established the event for its Nordic walking group, and local media reported it as the first Nordic walking race in Lorient.

Run à l'Orient begins next to the former submarine base at La Base in Lorient, a port city in Morbihan on France's Brittany coast. This early-March road race takes place by the sea, featuring city courses for adults and separate races for children and juniors. The primary distances offered are 5 km, 10 km, and a longer option described as either a half marathon or a 20 km urban trail, catering to both newer runners seeking a short goal and experienced runners wanting a more challenging course. The event is structured with several start waves: children run first, followed closely by the 10 km, 20 km, and 5 km races. The 10 km is a single loop, while the 5 km and 20 km formats offer relay options, making the event suitable for both teams and individual participants. The location is a key attraction: runners begin in Lorient's submarine-base area and follow a coastal city route, distinct from rural trails or stadium circuits. Bib collection is available on-site; organizers encourage participants to pick up their bibs on Saturday to avoid potentially longer waits on Sunday.

Run à l'Orient is a road race held in Lorient, Brittany. The event features several short-to-medium distances: the K20 covers 20.2 km with 82 m of elevation gain, the K10 is 10.6 km with 44 m, and the K5 is 5 km with 9 m. A 5 km relay is also offered for those who prefer not to run an individual race. The day includes children’s races of 450 m, 900 m, and 1.3 km, all categorized as sub-5 km running events. The adult races are divided into 5 km, 10 km, and 20 km categories, with the longer routes appearing relatively flat. RUN A LORIENT organizes the series, presenting a focused local race day rather than a singular main event.

Trail Entre Mer Et Terre is a running event in Ploemeur, Morbihan. Its next edition is scheduled for March, with the specific date yet to be confirmed. The event features two distances: an 18 km race commencing at 15:00 and a 5 km race starting at 16:00. The race format provides participants with a choice between a longer run and a shorter late-afternoon option. The name translates to “between sea and land,” reflecting Ploemeur’s coastal setting in Brittany. However, the current listing lacks detailed course descriptions or terrain specifics.
