Trail des Glières - Fillière is a mountain trail weekend held in Thorens-Glières, part of the commune of Fillière in Haute-Savoie. Organized by the Club Nordic des Glières, it takes place in early October and offers adults five distance options: the Furious Bouquetin at 56 km with 3400 m of elevation gain, the Ecureuil Fou at 41 km with 2400 m, the Chamois Rapide at 21 km with 1400 m, the Marmotte Speed at 10 km with 500 m, and a Vertical Kilometer.

The Vertical Kilometer starts at the Usillon campsite and ascends to a finish above the Landron chalet, covering 1000 m of ascent in a single uphill effort. Approximately 1600 adults and 300 children participate in the event, with children’s races for ages 2 to 15 scheduled for Sunday morning. The adult race names reference Alpine wildlife, including the bouquetin, chamois, marmotte, and squirrel, suiting a race focused on steep local terrain rather than road speed. Sunday also features refreshment stands and activities throughout the day, with parking available at the Complexe Sportif Jean Coulon.

The Foulée de Drumettaz-Clarafond takes place on an autumn morning in Drumettaz-Clarafond, Savoie. The program includes trail running, road running, walking, and children’s cross-country races.

For younger participants, there are 3 km, 1.5 km, and 0.8 km cross races, with the two shorter distances unranked. The event emphasizes village festivities alongside the races. Participants receive coffee before the start, and aid stations offer entertainment. The day concludes with an aperitif and a tartiflette, available for the first 500 servings. Local traditions include distributing 150 loaves baked in communal ovens via lottery. Adult participants are given a bottle of Savoie wine, and all finishers receive a personalized souvenir. Prizes are awarded not only to top runners but also to costumed participants, groups, and the clubs that travel the furthest or bring the most members.

La Foulée de Crossey takes place at the foot of the Chartreuse mountains, with trail races centered in Saint-Etienne-de-Crossey and on paths in Saint-Nicolas-de-Macherin and Saint-Aupre. The series provides three distances: 9 km, 14 km, and 24 km. The short race involves 200 m of elevation gain, the middle option has 450 m, and the long race gains 1000 m, allowing participants to select from a brief local trail run to a more demanding mountain-edge course. The 9 km route suits all levels, remaining fast and demanding, with forest sections near La Croix Saint-Denis designed to elevate heart rate. The new 14 km race offers more distance than the short course without the full 1000 m of climbing; it has moderate elevation changes until the Montmain woods, then requires repeated efforts. The 24 km route, also new in layout, passes La Croix Saint-Denis, Montmain, and the Monure hill, and is part of the Challenge du Pays Voironnais Trail Series. This event marks its 40th edition, lending this local Chartreuse-foot trail gathering significant history while remaining accessible.
