ジュネーヴ=アヌマス(フランス側)周辺の10Kレース

The Ultra Trail des Montagnes du Jura runs through the Jura massif in autumn. The course crosses forests, ridges, valleys, and open spaces. It is suitable for beginners and experienced runners, offering a challenging environment to share a passion for trail running.

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 longest race begins before dawn, while the shortest adult race starts in the early afternoon, covering a range from ultra-style mountain running to a more accessible trail format. 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.

Menthon Raid is a non-timed multisport race in Menthon-Saint-Bernard, a village on Lake Annecy in Haute-Savoie, France. It takes place in October and includes lake swimming, trail running, bike-and-run, road running, walking, and shorter courses for children and juniors. The event is structured as a pairs challenge, with options from 450 metres to 17.9 km, making it a shared outdoor raid rather than a typical solo road race. The route begins with a swim in the lake, a triangular course of about 440 metres where wetsuits are permitted but fins are not. Racers then proceed onto paths around Menthon-Saint-Bernard, ascending towards the castle, which gives the course its local character. Filos, a village association, organizes the race to support local groups and unite people through sport. Food, drinks, and an evening open to all maintain the day's social atmosphere after the competition concludes.

The Chamois 10 km begins at Granges Raguin in the Jura mountains and concludes in Métabief. This is the shortest, most accessible race within the Ultra Trail des Montagnes du Jura series: 10 km covering 400 meters of elevation gain, with a late-morning start and a three-hour cutoff. The course follows the last part of the longer Lynx route, offering participants a concentrated sample of the UTMJ terrain without the commitment of an ultra distance. It is designed for novices, casual runners, families, and groups of friends, accommodating up to 1,000 runners. A refreshment station is available at the finish. The GPX file is published only a few weeks prior to the event because of the course crossing private land; participants are requested not to use these sections outside of the race.

Bougeons avec Ma Bulle Rose is a charity running and walking day in the Pays de Gex, moving between the neighboring communes of Sauverny and Versonnex. The main program is simple: a 10 km run and a 5 km walk, both open to everyone, with some listings also showing an 8 km option. Recent editions have been scheduled on Saturdays in October, matching the event’s pink-ribbon theme and its focus on living better with cancer. The route links Sauverny and Versonnex rather than centering on a stadium or closed loop, so the event feels like a local community outing as much as a race. Entry fees are modest, and all money raised goes to Ma Bulle Rose, the association behind the event. Alongside the run and walk, organizers add lunch reservations, activities, and social time, which makes the day more about showing up together than chasing a fast result.

Les Boucles du Coeur is a charity running event in Veyrier-du-Lac, a Haute-Savoie village near Annecy. It takes place on an October day, organized by the support committee for breast cancer research in Savoie and Haute-Savoie. All donations benefit cancer research. The races follow routes around Lake Annecy, connecting the event to its lakeside setting instead of a city-street course. Four accessible route options are available, including a 10 km race named “La v”. This offers a manageable distance for runners wishing to support the cause.

Les Boucles Ambilly is a 10 km road race held in Ambilly, a town in France's Haute-Savoie department within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It takes place in October, beginning at 9:00 AM with an entry fee of 18 euros. This event focuses solely on the single 10 km road race. It is noted as the first edition and is organized by FFoulées d'Ambilly, meaning there is limited race history or established traditions to report.

The Marathon de Lausanne takes runners along the quays of Lausanne, in Switzerland’s Vaud canton, next to the lake. This October road race features a full marathon of 42.195 km, alongside half marathon and 10 km distances, catering to both dedicated marathoners and those seeking a shorter run. The course follows the lakefront quays and Lausanne’s streets, with the rhythm of footsteps along the water providing a distinct atmosphere. The event attracts over 10,000 participants annually, with expected fields exceeding 14,000, and holds full membership in AIMS. A virtual edition was also held recently when the in-person event was canceled.
