Les Foulées Pélissannaises begins in Pélissanne, a village in Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. This established local race series takes place in early October, featuring road running, trail running, walking, and children's events. The schedule includes short races for young children (450 m and 700 m), a 3 km race, a 5 km youth course, an 8 km walk, a 10 km race, a 16 km race with 400 m of elevation gain, and a 29 km Trail XS with 1000 m of elevation gain. The courses traverse the countryside surrounding Pélissanne and the Costes massif, resulting in steeper terrain for the longer distances compared to the shorter village routes. The 8 km walk, named La Marche de la vigne à l'olivier, highlights the local vineyards and olive trees. The 10 km race offers a faster pace with 115 m of elevation gain, while the Trail du Calabrun and the 29 km race provide a more challenging experience for experienced trail runners. Children are included with La Ronde des Pitchouns for ages 5 to 14, alongside several very short races.

The Course du pays d'Apt Luberon - Gargas is a running event held in Gargas, located in the Pays d'Apt Luberon region of southern France. It begins in the morning, with a listed start time of 07:45. Runners can choose between 5 km, 7 km, or 10 km distances. The shorter courses are not mountainous; the 5 km route includes 20 meters of elevation gain, and the 10 km route has 40 meters.

The Ronde des Vergers begins at the Moulin à huile, Maison Leydier, in Saint-Martin-de-Crau, a town in Provence situated near the Camargue and the Alpilles. Held in October, it features 5 km and 10 km races, along with walks covering the same distances. This variety accommodates runners, walkers, families, and individuals seeking a brief nature excursion instead of a lengthy road competition. The course winds through olive groves, peach orchards, and sections of the Crau Nature Reserve, a unique protected steppe environment in Europe. While significant elevation changes are not noted, the natural ground requires some preparation. The event, now in its third year, has become a way for participants to explore the Crau steppe on foot.

The course utilizes a 5 km loop, with participants completing one lap for the 5 km events and two laps for the 10 km races. The route winds through city streets, bike paths, pedestrian lanes, and park trails, designed to be fast and rolling. The 10 km race typically sees over 200 competitors, with the 5 km, walk, and youth races also drawing substantial numbers.
