The Urban Trail Arédien is an evening urban trail race held in Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, a town in Haute-Vienne south of Limoges known for its medieval lanes and old stone streets. Participants begin at Villa Sport and can select from a 5.5 km run, an 11 km run, or an 11 km relay for teams of two. The shorter race consists of one loop, while the longer race covers two loops. A 6 km walk and non-timed children's races are also available, making the event suitable for local clubs, families, company teams, and runners seeking a brief, brisk town course over a lengthy mountain trail. The course incorporates asphalt, paths, climbs, narrow streets, and stairs, with minimal easy road sections, requiring rapid pace adjustments rather than consistent effort. Pom'sy organizes the race, which has a participant cap of 400. The shortest race has an affordable entry fee. A refreshment stop is available during the run, and the evening concludes at the congress hall with a DJ, grilled food, and beverages. The event also features a challenge for the club or company team with the highest number of participants, fostering a team atmosphere even for solo runners.

The French Municipal Police Cross-Country Championships in Corrèze combine a public morning race with a championship race later for municipal police professionals.

This is a long-running series; the Tulle edition marks the 37th running. The day begins with an open race for all participants, followed by the municipal police championship race. Women run 5 km over two laps, and men run 7.5 km over three laps. Municipal police officers form the primary group of competitors, and the weekend concludes after the races with a police-only gala at Salle de l'Auzelou in Tulle.

This trail event occurs in mid-October and offers short and middle-distance options, typically 5 km, 11 km, and 20 km, though some listings also indicate longer routes up to 35 km. The race focuses on off-road running within the natural landscape of Corrèze, featuring wild paths and open countryside instead of an urban course. Walking routes are also available, listed at 6 km, 12 km, and 20 km. The 20 km trail is the most frequently chosen running distance. The event incorporates the phrase “On va bien se Marèges,” linking the race name to the local area and the enjoyment of a day on the trails.

Les Crêtes du Cocc is a nature trail race held in Coulounieix-Chamiers, located in France’s Dordogne region. It offers two off-road distances in mid-October. Participants can select either a 12.5 km loop or a 24.5 km loop, accommodating both those seeking a shorter trail run and those prepared for a more demanding challenge. Both courses are designed as single loops, simplifying the race format: begin, navigate the marked path, and conclude without completing multiple laps. The terrain is noted as suitable for refining running technique, with the 24.5 km course being the more frequently chosen option.

Le Trail de la Voie Romaine is a trail-running event held in Pierre-Buffière, Haute-Vienne, within France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It offers routes ranging from 9km to 42km, taking place in October. The event is designed for off-road runners, featuring four race distances and a 12km nature hike. The courses traverse the Limousin countryside near Pierre-Buffière, incorporating viewpoints, climbs, and descents instead of a flat, fast track. The primary event is the 42km Marathon Axter 87 TP, complemented by 26km, 16km, and 9km options. The 26km and 42km races are qualifiers for the UTMB Index. AGPB organizes the event, with volunteers providing support to participants on the course and at the finish line.

The Course eco-solidaire in Saint-Raphael is a race series held on a Monday morning in October. It offers short distances, with options including 0.8 km, 1.3 km, and 2.4 km runs, alongside 5 km and 10 km races. This variety caters to children, beginners, walkers, and runners seeking a challenge without a long-distance commitment. The 5 km route features 172 m of climbing, and the 10 km route has 344 m of positive elevation gain, indicating these are not flat courses. Starts are staggered throughout the morning, beginning with the shortest races and featuring multiple 5 km slots later. This structure creates a community race day atmosphere rather than a single, large start.

The Trail de l'Armistice is a local trail-running event in Condat, France, centered on the Armistice Day commemoration. It features two morning races: a 5 km trail with 150 m of elevation gain and a 14 km trail with 400 m of elevation gain. The 5 km is also available as a two-person relay, with one runner completing a 2.5 km uphill section and the other running the downhill section. The event is organized by the sports association of Collège Georges Pompidou in Condat, with support from Condat Athlétisme Club. It connects to the school’s outdoor sports curriculum and its Classe Défense initiative. Each race commemorates a soldier from World War I whose name is inscribed on Condat’s war memorial. Proceeds are distributed to remembrance organizations, Souvenir Français and the Union Nationale des Combattants, and to fund a student trip to the Toulon naval base, supported by the GSC unit.

Les Foulées de Coursac is a two-day trail running event held in Coursac, a village in Dordogne, France, during November when trail races in the department are less common. The event offers more than a single race: participants can select daytime trails, a night trail, combined night-and-day challenges, canicross events, a hike, and a children's race. The main trail distances are 8 km, 12 km, and 20.5 km, with elevation factored in, extending some options to 9.5 km, 15.5 km, or 27 km. The short course has approximately 150 m of elevation gain, the 12 km routes climb about 350 m, and the longest day trail ascends about 650 m. The most unique option is the combined format, beginning with a 12 km night trail followed by either a 12 km or 20.5 km day trail. A 12 km hike is also available with the same 350 m climb as the mid-distance trail, alongside a 1.5 km children's race. The Comité des Fêtes de Coursac organizes the event, which has a history spanning many editions; older formats included 5 km, 10 km, 16 km, 19 km, and 20 km races.

The Courir pour le Téléthon - Saint-Just-le-Martel is a 7.5 km solidarity run in rural Saint-Just-le-Martel, focused on supporting the Téléthon. It welcomes runners of all abilities, accommodating those aiming for a fast time and those preferring a more relaxed pace. All proceeds benefit the Téléthon, providing the race with a distinct charitable mission beyond its competitive aspect. The course consists of a 1.5 km loop completed five times, featuring gradual turns and predominantly fast, undulating terrain. Spectators can cheer on participants each lap through the village, ensuring the repeated loop fosters a social atmosphere rather than isolation. Following the race, participants enjoy a communal meal, contributing to the event's feel as a local community gathering rather than just a timed competition.

Le 10 de Saint-Pan is a late-November trail race held in Saint-Pantaléon-de-Larche, a commune in Corrèze within France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Participants can select between a 5 km and a 10 km course, positioning it as a brief off-road event rather than an extended mountain-style challenge. The 10 km trail is the primary attraction and the more frequently chosen distance. The 5 km offers a shorter alternative for less experienced runners or those who prefer racing shorter distances on the same day. The prior running of the event attracted over 300 participants, establishing it as a local race with a substantial field size that avoids feeling overwhelmingly large.
