Haguenau周辺の10Kレース

La montée du Pigeonnier begins near the Walk ponds in Wissembourg, leading runners directly into a hilly mountain race within the Northern Vosges. RAC Wissembourg organizes this event, now in its third edition after two previous runs each attracted around 200 participants. The program offers two simultaneous options: the primary 10.1 km race featuring 430 meters of elevation gain, and a new 5.9 km route with 220 meters of elevation gain, which can also be walked. The course follows forest paths and trails, involving multiple ascents and descents toward the Pigeonnier pass before looping back to Wissembourg. The longer race has established a brief competitive history, with Emmanuel Allenbach as a past winner and Matthieu Eyermann holding the course record at 40:13. Guillaume Pillon is a contender for the lead, while the shorter distance allows walkers and less experienced trail runners to experience the mountain environment without completing the full 10.1 km course.

La Bitchoise takes place after dark in Bitche, a town in Moselle within France’s Grand Est region. Its primary race is a 10 km nocturnal urban trail, Les foulées de la Citadelle, starting at 8:00 PM. This single-loop course features up to 220 m of elevation gain. The event occurs in early October and includes 5 km and 10 km walking options, catering to participants not solely focused on timed results. The walking routes are named La montée du Hochkopf (10 km) and La ronde de l’étang de Hasselfurth (5 km). Hasselfurth pond serves as a central meeting point. The event attracts walkers, Nordic walkers, joggers, and runners as part of a solidarity action. Organized by BBasket Club du Pays de Bitche, participation exceeded 200 in a prior edition, with organizers anticipating approximately 1,000 attendees at the start.

The Marathon des 3 Pays du Rhin is a road race that takes place around Basel and the Rhine border region, connecting Switzerland, France, and Germany. It is known as a “3 in 1” event because participants run through Basel, Saint-Louis, Huningue, and Weil am Rhein, crossing national borders. The event has offered 5 km, 10 km, half-marathon, and full marathon distances, along with a duo option for pairs tackling the longer distances. The course begins in Basel, a Swiss city on the Rhine. It then proceeds through the adjacent border towns of the Upper Rhine region, making it a cross-border event on public roads. The French segments run through Saint-Louis and Huningue in the Haut-Rhin department, and the German section goes to Weil am Rhein. While described as an established event, sources indicate the marathon has had its final edition, suggesting it is a race with a distinct local history rather than a recurring annual fixture.

La Bitchoise is a charity race and walking event held in Bitche, Moselle, France, typically in early October. Participants can choose between 5 km and 10 km distances, with options for running, walking, and Nordic walking. The event supports the fight against cancer. The 10 km race, named Les foulées de la Citadelle, is a one-loop urban road race that includes a night option. Walkers can select routes such as La montée du Hochkopf (10 km) and La ronde de l’étang de Hasselfurth (5 km). Recent editions have seen over 200 participants, and in the past, the event anticipated around a thousand participants, with staggered starts beginning at 8 AM. Over its first seven years, La Bitchoise raised 38,000 euros for cancer-related causes.

Herbstlauf Schutterwald is a 10 km autumn road race in Schutterwald, Baden-Württemberg, using the Waldstadion for the start and finish. The main race begins in the afternoon, and the event also features a children's and youth run plus a Nordic Walking category, catering to local runners and walkers as well as those aiming for a measured 10 km time. The 10 km route follows flat forest and field paths around the Waldstadion, with each kilometer marked and the course measured to DLV standards. LFV Schutterwald organizes the race, held annually, which had reached its 22nd edition by the early 2020s. Entry categories include youth, open runners, masters, and Kreis Kehl classifications, giving the day a club-and-community race atmosphere rather than that of a large city event.

Les Foulées Vertes in Ernolsheim-Bruche is a running event held in October, organized by Rame, the local Running Athlétisme Marche d’Erno club. Participants can select a 10 km race or an 18.4 km race. Additionally, there are children’s races and a 6.5 km non-timed walk for those who prefer to walk. The longer course winds through the vineyards, providing the event with a distinct local character. Children’s races are free when registered in advance. For each race bib issued, 1 euro is donated to Des Milliers de pas pour Sacha. Bibs can be collected at the Ernolsheim-Bruche sports park. This event is in its early years, with the fourth edition scheduled.

The Oberwaldlauf is a 5 km and 10 km race held annually in the Oberwald forest in Karlsruhe, taking place on the third Saturday of October. The start and finish are located at the TuS Rüppurr club grounds on Steinmannstraße. The 10 km race begins first, followed shortly by the 5 km run and 5 km walk. The event is sanctioned by the German Athletics Association, and both running courses are officially measured, allowing results to be included in German ranking lists. The route consists of a loop on asphalt and maintained forest paths, offering a more controlled environment than a rugged trail race while keeping participants within the Oberwald. The 10 km race is open to older youth and adults, the 5 km run includes younger age groups, and the walking option accommodates families and casual participants. TuS Rüppurr organizes the event with a club atmosphere: water, tea, and bananas are available at the finish, with waffles, cake, fries, and bratwurst offered around the grounds, and a bouncy castle for children. Course records stand at 29:07 and 35:45 for the 10 km, and 14:53 and 16:38 for the 5 km.

The Brumath races are charity events held in Brumath, Alsace, each October. The program offers a 10 km race, distinct 5 km races for men and women, a mixed 5 km walk, and youth races. This setup accommodates runners, walkers, families, and local club athletes. The El Himer Running team and volunteers organize this event, a continuation of the earlier Courses de Brumath. The prior edition saw nearly 2,000 participants. Funds raised support several causes: prostate cancer patients, breast cancer support, Charcot disease, Parkinson’s support, Coeur des Sables, and the Unitas Brumath athletics school. The event also provides entertainment, physiotherapy and osteopathy services, refreshments, participant gifts, a bar, and food.

The Course des Châteaux d'Ottrott is a series of road races held in Ottrott, a village in Bas-Rhin, France's Grand Est region, each October. The event offers multiple race distances, including 5 km, 10 km, and a 21.741 km half-marathon, with children's races accompanying the adult events. It has been held annually since 1990 and is designed for families and recreational runners, not exclusively for competitive club athletes. The race's name reflects its course, which leads participants toward the castles of Lutzelbourg and Rathsamhausen. Ottrott is situated in Alsace along an ancient Roman road leading to Mont Sainte-Odile, giving the race a connection to local history that is straightforward to appreciate. The organizers playfully note that "Ottrott" sounds like a horse trotting, aligning with the character of a community event that provides various options suitable for different ages and skill levels.

La Froussarde is a Halloween-themed night race series held in late October. The main event is a 10 km road race, run as one loop, and it is the most popular distance, with over 300 participants at the last edition. The program also includes a 5 km road race with a solidarity aspect, also at night and on a single urban loop. Families can participate in the Zombie Walk, a 1.5 km night walk through town, which maintains the Halloween theme for those seeking the atmosphere without the competition.

Natura Cap Eckwersheim is a late-autumn running event in Eckwersheim, a village in the Bas-Rhin area of Grand Est in eastern France. The program offers runners several distances: 5 km, 10 km, and a half marathon, with walking options around 5 km or 10 km and children’s races over 700 m, 1000 m, and 2000 m. The routes are described locally as nature races through fields, paths, and roads, distinguishing it from a town-center road run. It accommodates beginners seeking a short distance, experienced runners aiming for 10 km or 21.1 km, walkers, and families with younger children. The focus is on a friendly local race day, organized around participation and the opportunity to run through the countryside around Eckwersheim.

The Wintersberg ascent begins at the Gymnase Omnisport in Niederbronn-les-Bains, leading runners into the Vosges du Grès forest during autumn. This 10.5 km uphill forest race features 470 meters of elevation gain and starts at 10:00 AM. Now in its 32nd year, the event follows a long-standing local tradition rather than being a recent trail running experiment. The course is brief enough for a hard effort but sufficiently steep to distinguish it from a road race; there are no aid stations. Participants from France and Germany are noted in the results, aligning with the race's proximity to the border. The organizers designate three route options — La Pétillante, La Douce, and La Forte — and provide record bonuses. Current records range from the low 42-minute mark for the fastest men to the mid-50-minute mark for the fastest women, varying by course choice.
