The 2SEO Portel des Corbières Trail begins at Terra Vinéa, a wine-tourism site in Portel-des-Corbières, Aude, southern France. This October trail running event is organized by Sun Stages Endurance, in partnership with the Portel-des-Corbières town hall and Terra Vinéa. The event features three timed trail races: a long course of approximately 25 to 28 km, a 15 km course, and a 6 km option for less experienced participants. The two longer races include a passage through the Terra Vinéa mine, a distinctive element of the event. The 6 km Trail Portelais route remains outside the mine and involves around 114 m of elevation gain. The longer routes traverse the Portel-des-Corbières and Sigean area, with listed climbs of about 400 m for the long race and 310 m for the 15 km race. Participants not running can join the Marche Rose, a 4.5 km walk or Nordic walk around Portel-des-Corbières. A portion of the event supports Octobre Rose breast cancer screening and research, and Sun Stages Endurance also collaborates with AFDAIM 11 to enable residents with disabilities to participate through sport.

The Semi-Marathon de Sète is an October road race held in Sète, a port city in Hérault, Occitanie, situated next to the Thau Lagoon.

Its promotional materials highlight community, shared experiences, inclusivity, and personal challenge. The entry fees are set at 10 EUR for the 5 km, 15 EUR for the 10 km, and 25 EUR for the half marathon.

The central activity begins near the Palais des Congrès, where the assembled crowd forms the most striking visual element of the event. Participants warm up with music before the start, guided by Doris and Maëlys Diaz. The field comprises families, walkers, athletes from local clubs, and groups like RCO Agde. Recent years have seen nearly 3,000 participants, and local media regard it as Agde's primary sporting occasion of the year.

Trail des Trabucayres is a Sunday-in-October trail event held in Maureillas-las-Illas. It features a 15 km race, a 5 km race, and an 11 km hike. Now in its third edition, the event has expanded its program beyond adult races. Following requests from families, the organizers introduced two children’s races: one for ages 6 to 10 and another for ages 11 to 13. The children’s races take place through the village streets, while the adult program offers the short trail, longer trail, and hiking options. Visually impaired participants also compete, accompanied by a guide on a special circuit. The association Courir en vallées sauvages, led by Gérald Frère, organizes the race. Entries have been increasing, with the previous edition attracting 485 participants. Organizers anticipate 550 adults and approximately 30 children in each youth race for the upcoming event.

Trail du Salagou offers several trail races starting from Clermont-l'Hérault, located next to Lac du Salagou in southern France, approximately 30 minutes from Montpellier. The event takes place in October, providing runners with various distances. Options range from a 5 km mini trail to the 42 km Marathon du Salagou. Additionally, there is the 27 km Tour du Lac, the 13 km Presqu'île route, a 12 km Nordic walking event, and children's races of 500 m, 1,000 m, and 2,500 m. The day is designed for both families and dedicated trail runners. The course winds through the red earth surrounding the lake, known as ruffe, which gives Salagou its characteristic color underfoot. The 13 km race traces the shores near Clermont-l'Hérault and Liausson before circling the Presqu'île de la Sure, offering unobstructed views of the lake. The longer courses utilize singletrack and wider paths, featuring frequent changes in pace and undulating terrain instead of high mountains. One measured Tour du Lac route spans just under 27 km with approximately 501 m of elevation gain and descent, with altitudes ranging between roughly 128 m and 227 m. Participants include marathon trail runners, participants in shorter races, Nordic walkers, children, and individuals seeking their first experience racing on Salagou's distinctive red lakeside terrain.

La Folle Furieuse Carcassonne is a short obstacle race at Lac de la Cavayère, near Carcassonne in Aude, with starts planned from the morning. It is a 5 to 6 km adventure run built around 25 obstacles, so the day is more about climbing, sliding, crawling, splashing, and laughing than chasing a road-race time. The route uses the lake setting directly, with a passage through the water, muddy sections, and large inflatable obstacles on the program. The event is pitched at friends and families, with a race village and DJ adding to the loose, party-style feel, and local coverage describes it as a wild but family-friendly obstacle course now several editions old.

Les Foulées du Parc is an annual running event held in the Parc des sports in Narbonne, southern France. Organized by ACNM, the local athletics club, it features two official road races: 5 km and 10 km. Both distances qualify for the French championships, attracting local runners alongside athletes aiming for fast times and federation standards. Over 1,000 runners are anticipated, supported by approximately 100 ACNM volunteers managing race operations. The courses are nearly flat, favoring speed over climbing ability. The 10 km race begins on Avenue Maître Hubert-Mouly, while the 5 km starts on Avenue Jean-Antagnac. Both races conclude within the main stadium on the athletics track. The competition is expected to be strong: the previous 10 km champion is returning to defend his title, an Olympic marathon runner from Paris is using the event for preparation, and a young French record-holder is competing in the 5 km.

The Halloween Course au Somail is a 5 km running and timed Nordic walking event held in Saint-Nazaire-d’Aude, located in Occitanie’s Aude department.

The course is a single 5 km loop following the Canal du Midi. Participants will pass under the canal bridge and return on the opposite side. This event is festive and supports a charity, making it suitable for runners, Nordic walkers, families, and individuals seeking a short, local race instead of a long-distance competition.

The Course pour Movember is a local charity run held in Lézignan-Corbières, located in the Aude department of southern France. The primary event is a 10 km run crossing the pine forest, complemented by a 5 km walk option for those seeking a less strenuous participation. This run is associated with Movember, the November initiative dedicated to men's health, and commences at 9:30 AM. The Union des commerçants de Lézignan is responsible for organizing this event, framing it as an opportunity to run or walk for a worthy cause. The organization maintains a straightforward, community-focused approach: a forest run, a shorter walk, an accessible entry fee, and essential information provided via the Lézignan merchants' association website and email.

Trail de Nebian is an autumn trail-running event held in Nebian, a village in France's Herault department within the Occitanie region, located approximately 40 kilometers from Montpellier. The event offers a range of races, from very short village runs to challenging mountain-style courses. Distances include 0.3 km, 0.8 km, 2 km, 3.2 km, 5 km, 8 km, 13.5 km, and 100 km, alongside an 8 km walk. The significant elevation gain makes the longer races considerably more demanding than the village setting might imply. The 8 km route features around 300 meters of climbing, the 13.5 km route approximately 560 meters, and the 100 km race boasts about 4,400 meters of ascent. Approximately one thousand participants attend the weekend event. The race also includes a playful element with its Slip Race, locally known as a running gag and a distinctive, lighthearted tradition preceding the Christmas costume-race season.

La Foulée Du Mas is a 5 km event in Cabestany, Pyrénées-Orientales, southern France. It takes place on a Sunday morning in late November, with the run and the walking hike starting at 10:00. The format includes a 5 km running race and a 5 km randonnée for those preferring to walk the same distance at a relaxed pace. The organizer, LA FOULEE DU MAS, presents this as a local community event rather than a large, multi-distance race festival.
