The Trail des hauteurs is an adventure for those who enjoy trails and exploring elevation.

Trail des Hauteurs returns to Seine-Saint-Denis, near Paris. This young event saw strong interest for its second edition, with 1,350 runners registered and organizers anticipating over 1,500 participants. Three distances are available, including a new 28 km course. The event includes more than just the trail runs. A free association village is set up near the runs, offering introductions to various sports and other planned activities. This creates a wider local atmosphere, as runners, families, sports clubs, and interested visitors share the event space.

Foulée Suresnoise takes over the streets of Suresnes for a two-day weekend in early October, offering races for adults and children instead of a single start time. The schedule includes a half marathon and 10 km, a 5 km, and children’s races of 3 km, 1.5 km, and 750 m. The shorter races and children’s events are held on Saturday afternoon. The half marathon and 10 km start on Sunday morning from 8:30. The event, now in its fiftieth edition, maintains a family atmosphere alongside competitive racing, and adds to the course atmosphere with four fanfares throughout the day.

Run for Girls - Paris takes place in the Bois de Boulogne, focusing on supporting girls' rights and Plan International's initiatives. Participants can choose from a timed 10 km race, a non-timed 5 km run, or a 5 km walk, accommodating competitive runners, casual runners, and walkers. This race connects to Plan International’s broader efforts in children's rights, gender equality, education, public awareness, and policy advocacy. The event integrates its message into the race environment through decorations highlighting the history of girls' rights and contemporary challenges. It also emphasizes an eco-responsible strategy: no giveaway items, no plastic water bottles (participants must bring their own), eco-cups, ecological dry toilets, and a solar-powered sound system. These elements contribute to the race feeling like a cause-driven community event rather than a typical city fun run.

Run for Girls is a solidarity run held in Paris's Bois de Boulogne, focusing on girls' rights and gender equality. Plan International France organizes this event, which welcomes all participants, not just competitive runners. The organizers also describe it as eco-responsible, connecting a social cause with a reduced environmental impact. The run takes place in early October, shortly before the International Day of the Girl Child on October 11. The meeting point is near Carrefour du Bout des Lacs, close to Route de la Muette on the Neuilly side of the park. Funds raised support Plan International's initiatives for girls. This race was the first solidarity run in France established specifically to advance girls' rights. This link is integral: Plan International initiated the International Day of the Girl Child, making the race's timing directly relevant to its supported cause.

La Villepreusienne is a night race series held at V Park in Villepreux, a town in the Yvelines located 20 km west of Paris. This location provides a distinct character: Villepreux lies in the direct line extending from the gardens of Versailles. Thus, the event connects a small-town starting point with the open plain beyond the palace grounds. It provides four race choices, with distances and formats designed for runners and walkers of various skill levels. The 5 km Urban Trail takes place in the town center, suitable for those seeking a short, brisk run with an urban atmosphere. The 10 km nature route follows a manageable loop across the Versailles plain, and the 10 km walk offers participants the same opportunity to explore without the competitive aspect. The 21 km trail is the more demanding option, intended for more experienced runners desiring a longer night race near Paris.

La Villersoise is a French nature-running name associated with small trail events, not road races. In Villiers-Saint-Frédéric, Yvelines, west of Paris, the early-October program includes trail runs of 10 km and 25 km, a 7 km Nordic walk, and a published 5 km option. There is also a La Villersoise Course Nature in Villers-Bocage, Calvados, held in late August with two trail options: 5.5 km with 80 m of elevation gain and 11 km with 160 m. Villers-Bocage Endurance 14 organizes this event, and club president Michel Le Mazier is connected to its recent ninth edition.

Runners in the Foulées Nocturnes de Franconville line up in the evening with headlamps, starting in front of the Chalet Pom Pouce in Franconville, a town in Val-d’Oise just north of Paris. It is a road race with 5 km and 10 km options for adults, plus shorter distances of 500 m, 1.473 km, and 2.946 km for younger runners. The event is run in early October and is organized by the town’s sports department. Before the start, runners gather at the stadium for a collective warm-up. The route ends on the track at Stade Jean Rolland, giving the race a stadium finish. Families are part of the setup too: the children’s program includes three free, untimed races, so kids can join without pressure over results. The headlamp requirement is the detail that gives the race its identity: this is a local road-running evening built around running through Franconville after dark.

The Odyssea Paris 5 km is an autumn running event held at the Hippodrome de Vincennes in Paris. The 5 km race begins in the afternoon. This event is part of the Odyssea series, which combines running and walking events to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. The Paris weekend also features a 10 km race and a 5 km walk. Additionally, a 1 km children's race takes place on the day prior to the main 5 km event. The event has been on the race calendar since at least the late 2000s. Kikourou lists numerous runner recaps, indicating it attracts both casual participants and those who closely follow the French running calendar.

La Mansonnienne is a 10 km road race held in autumn in Maisons-Laffitte. Over 1,600 participants finish, indicating it is a substantial local event. The race includes 975 men and 632 women. The average finishing time is 53 minutes and 45 seconds, suggesting a field composed of many regular and recreational runners, not solely elite athletes.

The Trail du Soldat de la Marne is a trail-running weekend in Meaux, Seine-et-Marne, held each October. The race is structured around the history of the Battles of the Marne, differentiating it from a standard forest run. Participants begin at the American monument and follow courses connecting the town to sites of wartime significance. The event typically offers multiple distances, including trail races of approximately 5 km, 11 km, 20 km, and 30 km, alongside walking and Nordic walking options. The event includes a significant family component alongside the main races, featuring over 20 children's races on Saturday and parent races connected to the children's program. A 30 km relay for two-person teams provides an alternative for those seeking the long course without completing it solo. Costumes, staged scenes, and historical reenactment elements contribute to the atmosphere, making the military theme apparent along the course, not just in the event's name.
