Obernai周辺の10Kレース

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.

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 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.

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.

Courses de Colmar by Lonza is a November race day in Colmar, Alsace, with 5 km, 10 km, and kids’ races in the city’s historic center. The event is already into its 40-plus editions, and a recent running drew nearly 2,500 people across the different distances. Entry starts from 5 euros, which gives it a low barrier for families, first-timers, and local runners. The routes use the paved streets of old Colmar, so the race is as much a run through heritage streets as a straightforward road event. Beginners and experienced runners are both part of the crowd, with shorter options for people who want an accessible run and a 10 km for those looking to race harder. The kids’ race makes it feel like a community sports day rather than a standalone adult competition.

The 10 km de la Wantzenau - Nature is a 10-kilometer running race held in La Wantzenau, a commune in Bas-Rhin, Alsace. It takes place on a Sunday in November, starting at 10:30 AM. The event is held alongside a separate Route edition. This allows the series to offer runners both a nature-focused 10 km and a road-focused 10 km, both under the La Wantzenau name. Previous editions were named the 10 km Lanxess de la Wantzenau, and the distinction between Nature and Route editions has been present for several recent years.

Foulées du Souvenir is a pair of trail races in Orbey, in the Vosges mountains of eastern France, run in November around the memorial sites of the Battle of the Linge. Runners choose between a 9.5 km route with 390 metres of climbing and a tougher 27.8 km route with 1,260 metres of climbing. The longer race starts at the Salle Polyvalente d'Orbey, while the shorter one starts at the Col du Wettstein. Both races finish at the Musée Mémorial du Linge, and the finish is tied to a stated purpose: celebrating freedom at a First World War memorial site. The 27.8 km race carries UTMB World Series Qualifier and ITRA status, so it draws trail runners looking for recognized mountain-race credentials as well as local runners. A shuttle bus takes runners back from the finish to the Col du Wettstein or the Salle Polyvalente, and the post-race setup includes physiotherapists and an optional homemade meal.

Montée de la Madeleine is a mountain race in the Vosges, beginning at GÉOPARC in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and concluding at the Col du Haut-Jacques.

The course is fully marked, emphasizing off-road climbing over road speed. The 15 km race includes an aid station near the halfway point and another at the finish. The 10 km race and walk have an aid station solely at the finish. Outside assistance is prohibited. Entry is limited to 500 participants, maintaining a relatively small field. A complimentary shuttle service returns participants from the finish to GÉOPARC. Dogs are not permitted in the races but are allowed on the walk. A small gift is provided upon bib collection.

The Trail de Wintzenheim is a village-street race held in Wintzenheim, organized by Team Com and Les Run'Heures d'Allure. The event features a 10 km race, a 5 km race, and children's races.

The La Montee de la Madeleine 10 km is a mountain trail race held in late November in Saint-Die-des-Vosges, located in the Vosges region of eastern France. The race begins at GEOPARC Saint-Die-des-Vosges at 10:00 AM, ascending 500 meters over its 10 km length to the finish at Col du Haut-Jacques. Despite its short distance, the course demands consistent uphill effort. The route forms a single loop within the Madeleine massif, with 98% of the path crossing natural trails through mountain and forest landscapes. Participants seeking a more demanding challenge can opt for the 15 km race, which includes 800 meters of climbing. Additionally, the event provides a 10 km walking option, broadening its appeal beyond just competitive trail runners. Now in its sixth edition, the race maintains a distinct character: beginning in town, ascending into the Vosges mountains, and concluding at the mountain pass.
