Issoire周辺の10Kレース

Running Limagne begins on the road to Entraigues, near the cemetery at the edge of Chappes, and concludes in front of the Chappes sports complex. This road running event, held in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, offers a 10 km race and a half marathon in October. Both courses are entirely on roads, utilizing loops through Chappes, Entraigues, and Chavaroux. The half marathon completes the 10 km loop twice, while the 10 km race provides runners the same flat, fast terrain in a single lap. With very little elevation gain, it is a suitable option for those aiming for a personal best rather than a challenging trail run. Bibs are collected on race morning at the gymnasium within the Chappes sports complex. The two races begin consecutively, with the half marathon starting first.

Marathon des Puys is a city road race held in Clermont-Ferrand, within the Puy-de-Dôme department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The primary event is a 42.195 km marathon, with options for 10 km or 5 km races. Duo and relay formats are also available for the marathon distance. The race utilizes its location in a volcanic region, with finishers calling it simply “a volcanic marathon.” It is part of a French race series focused on helping runners explore local areas and heritage. The appeal lies not just in the distance but in Clermont-Ferrand's setting within the Puys landscape.

At La Courstache in Aubière, near Clermont-Ferrand, the moustache is part of the point: runners can arrive with their own or get one painted at the makeup areas before starting. The event raises money for the fight against male cancers, with 100% of registration fees going to the La Courstache Endowment Fund. It offers FFA-certified timed 5 km and 10 km road races, plus a 5 km walk or free-pace solidarity option for those who want the cause without a race clock. The races use public roads, including sections temporarily closed to traffic, and the event is run with ASPTT Clermont and a large volunteer security team. Recent editions have drawn more than 6,500 participants overall, while the 10 km alone has listed over 2,100 finishers. Families, walkers, club runners, first-timers, and people with reduced mobility all have a place through the 5 km solidarity format. The welcome village adds men’s health and cancer-prevention stands, and the fund has paid for concrete local projects such as virtual reality headsets and resin 3D printers for Centre Jean Perrin, adaptive physical activity equipment, and socio-esthetic support care at Clermont-Ferrand hospital.

La Courstache is a charity run and walk in Aubière, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The concept is straightforward: wear a mustache and raise funds for the fight against male cancers. It typically takes place in November, featuring timed 5 km and 10 km road races, alongside a 5 km walk or free-pace option for those preferring not to race against time. The event welcomes both runners and walkers, allowing club athletes, casual joggers, families, and supporters to participate. Mustaches are integral to the tradition; men are encouraged to grow one, fake mustaches are provided, and makeup stations assist everyone in joining the theme. ASPTT Athlétisme, a French athletics club, manages the race, offering refreshment stations and changing facilities. The series has seen over 24,500 participants in total, with a recent edition attracting more than 6,500 people and raising over 260,000 euros for men’s health causes.

The Le Loup Solidaire begins at the town hall in Pont-Château, a commune in the Puy-de-Dôme department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. This yearly urban road race offers two afternoon events: a 10 km race and a 5 km race. Both are available for individual participants or relay teams. The courses remain within the town, featuring up to 200 m of elevation gain for the 10 km and up to 100 m for the 5 km. CCourir à Pont-Château, an FFA-affiliated club, manages the event. All proceeds benefit two charities: Les Pas Possibles de Quentin and Chloé (Entendre & Parler).

The Course solidaire courir pour Chloë is a solidarity running event held in Pont-du-Château, located in the Puy-de-Dôme department of central France. Participants can choose between two road-running distances: 10 km and 5 km, with both races commencing at 10:00 AM. The event's core purpose is to support Chloë, making the cause integral to participation, not solely the competition. The 10 km course features 200 meters of elevation gain, and the 5 km course includes 100 meters of positive elevation. Neither route is entirely flat. This design makes the shorter race accessible yet challenging, and lends the 10 km a distinctly hilly character beyond a basic town circuit. Race details, including registration, are available on the organizer's website.

The Trail Hivernal du Haut Cantal is a winter trail race held in Condat, Cantal department, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The 40 km race covers approximately 1,500 meters of elevation gain, presenting a genuine mountain challenge suited for trail shoes. The race takes place within the Regional Natural Park of the Volcanoes of Auvergne, embracing winter elements such as cold temperatures, snow when present, forest paths, volcanic highlands, and expansive Cantal scenery. Having completed over 10 editions, with a 12th planned, it is an established local event. The race accommodates various participants, from hikers and short-distance runners to those attempting the 40 km course. Post-race, participants can enjoy local Auvergnat cuisine and an 80s disco party, which are part of the event's traditions.

The 10 km can be completed solo or as a relay, and the 5 km also offers a relay option, allowing teams to participate without each member running the entire distance. The course includes elevation changes: the 10 km has 200 m of climbing, and the 5 km has 100 m. All race proceeds benefit two associations, Les Pas Possibles de Quentin and Chloé (Entendre & Parler), which is the event's primary purpose.
