マルセイユ=エクス=アン=プロヴァンス周辺の10Kレース

The 5 et 10 Kilomètres de Tamaris is a road race in La Seyne-sur-Mer, on the Mediterranean coast near Toulon. Runners choose between a 5 km and a 10 km distance, and the event draws a large local field, with about 1,600 starters and sold-out entries when conditions are mild. The route runs along the corniche beside the Toulon roadstead, tying the race closely to the waterfront rather than a closed stadium setting. CSMS Athlétisme and the city of La Seyne organize it. The newer 5 km race is part of the Var championship, and the 10 km can attract sharp performances, including a sub-31-minute winning time.

La boucle bleue is a small running event in Sanary-sur-Mer, on the Var coast in southern France, scheduled for a Monday in October. It offers two road-race distances: a 5 km called Course la boucle rose and a 10 km called Course la boucle bleue, with entry prices listed at 10 EUR and 15 EUR.

La Foulée Ressource takes place in October in Aix-en-Provence, offering three options: a 5 km run, a 10 km run, or a 5 km walk/hike. All three events begin at 15:00 with identical entry fees. The 10 km race is certified by the FFA, providing an officially measured course for those seeking a timed road distance beyond a charity event. Aix Athlé Provence organizes La Foulée Ressource. The event's purpose is straightforward: to fund the Centre Ressource in Aix-en-Provence, a support center for cancer patients focusing on wellbeing and therapeutic care. The center relies on La Foulée Ressource for approximately 90% of its operational funding. This means participants are directly contributing to the center's survival, not just making an additional donation. The event has completed twelve editions, accommodating club runners, casual participants, walkers, and supporters within its afternoon schedule.

The Course de la Châtaigne is a 10 km village race held in Collobrières, located in the Massif des Maures region of Provence. The course follows roads and paths surrounding the village, featuring a hilly terrain rather than a flat road-race profile. This event is designed for various runners, serving as a personal challenge or half-marathon preparation for some, and as a local autumn race with a strong village atmosphere for beginners. The route winds through Collobrières' narrow streets, past vineyards, and into the wooded hills encircling the village. Chestnuts are central to the day's theme: Collobrières is a significant chestnut-producing area. Each participant receives a jar of chestnut cream upon registration, and grilled chestnuts are available at the finish line. Additionally, a cold beer is provided post-run, local prizes are awarded to podium finishers, and a free children's race, the Pitchouns castagneurs, is also part of the event.

Marseille en Rose is a charity road race and walk held in early October at the Parc de la Maison Blanche in Marseille, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France. This event is organized by a Marseille-based loi 1901 non-profit association as part of the Octobre Rose initiative, focused on raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. All proceeds are donated to the Institut Paoli-Calmettes, a significant regional cancer treatment and research facility. The event offers a straightforward and adaptable format: participants select loops within the park, covering distances of 2 km, 4 km, 6 km, 8 km, or 10 km, with the option to either run or walk. Separate starts are provided for children and adults, allowing families, colleagues, friends, novice participants, and experienced runners to unite for a common cause without the constraint of matching speeds. A past edition attracted close to 1,600 participants, demonstrating the local appeal of this smaller-scale event centered on breast cancer prevention and medical research.

La Foulée Ressource is a charity road race held in Aix-en-Provence, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France. It takes place in early October, originating from the Les Milles business park. Participants can choose between 5 km and 10 km races, or a 12 km walk for those who prefer not to compete. The event's motto is “Courir, ça a du sens” — running with a purpose. The route commences near the McDonald’s within the business park and concludes at the Centre Ressource. This race benefits the Ressource association, which provides wellbeing and therapeutic support to individuals affected by cancer. The connection is significant, as the Centre indicates that the majority of its operations rely on this event. Consequently, the race is structured around solidarity as much as athletic performance. Runners, walkers, supporters, and local attendees unite for a morning focused on a shared cause.

Les Foulées Pélissannaises begins in Pélissanne, a village in Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. This established local race series takes place in early October, featuring road running, trail running, walking, and children's events. The schedule includes short races for young children (450 m and 700 m), a 3 km race, a 5 km youth course, an 8 km walk, a 10 km race, a 16 km race with 400 m of elevation gain, and a 29 km Trail XS with 1000 m of elevation gain. The courses traverse the countryside surrounding Pélissanne and the Costes massif, resulting in steeper terrain for the longer distances compared to the shorter village routes. The 8 km walk, named La Marche de la vigne à l'olivier, highlights the local vineyards and olive trees. The 10 km race offers a faster pace with 115 m of elevation gain, while the Trail du Calabrun and the 29 km race provide a more challenging experience for experienced trail runners. Children are included with La Ronde des Pitchouns for ages 5 to 14, alongside several very short races.

The programme caters to various participants: road runners can select short, middle, or long distances, and walkers have 6 km and 10 km hiking options. Cabriès is situated near Aix-en-Provence, Sainte-Victoire, and Marseille, positioning the race as part of a local Provençal sports weekend rather than a large urban running event.

La Foulée Tullésaine is a local race day in Sainte-Tulle, held in the town’s municipal park with races for children and adults. Its main event is a 10 km race, and the field is growing: the 10 km drew 168 runners, about thirty more than the previous edition, while 349 people raced across all age groups from young poussins to adults. The organizing club is ASDL, the Tullésain club led by Gérard Buignet and Jean-Luc Bou, with volunteers and local partners helping on site. The courses are set inside the park for the different race formats, and the event also links itself to October’s breast cancer awareness campaign, with some runners wearing pink T-shirts. The 10 km was won by Hicham Bouhraznine of EPM Athlétisme, formerly with Cergy-Pontoise, who went straight to the front, ran alone, and finished in 33:14.

Course Algernon is a race and walk in Marseille, taking place on the second weekend of October. It begins at the Palais du Pharo and concludes at the Plages du Prado.

A sports and cultural association organizes the event. Its most notable characteristic is its inclusive field: runners, walkers, groups, minors, adults, and people with disabilities all participate together on the same October morning. The number of entries is substantial for a local race, with about 8,000 bibs offered for this edition.
