Saint-Cyprien周辺の10Kレース

Les 10 km de Bompas is a late-October road race in Bompas, in the Pyrénées-Orientales area of southern France. The main event is a timed 10 km for adults, starting at the Parc des Sports, and the program also includes children’s races, with four distances in all from 600 m up to 10 km. It is a busy local race rather than a quiet club outing: more than 1,000 runners, about 200 children, and around 150 volunteers are involved. The course runs through Bompas streets with fanfares and supporters on the route, and people come for different reasons: chasing a time, running with friends, having fun, or even dressing up.

The Trail Nocturne de l'Ecoparc Catalan is a night trail race held in early December in Occitanie, Pyrénées-Orientales. Participants run through the Ecoparc Catalan area, near Villeneuve-la-Rivière, Pézilla-la-Rivière, Calce, and Baixas. The courses blend town running with open-country trail running. The distinctive feature is the illuminated setting: a large wind turbine park and the surrounding Mediterranean communes are specially lit for the race, making the event designed for running after dark, not simply adding headlamps to a standard trail route. Five night-trail distances are offered: 7 km, 11 km, 22 km, 33 km, and 44 km. The 22 km, 33 km, and 44 km races are available as solo runs or as relays for teams of two, three, or four. The 7 km and 11 km options can also be completed as hikes. Over 2,000 people participated in the third edition, with the field intended to accommodate walkers, newer runners, relay teams, and longer-distance trail runners. Local residents from the four communes line the route to support participants. The runner pack includes an official jersey, a finisher medal, a 66 Degrés Sud bag, aid at the finish line, safety support on the course, and trophies for the winners.

La Mitja de Figueres is a road race held in Figueres, Girona, in early December. It features a half marathon of 21.097 km and a 10K option. On the same day, La Menuda offers children's races of 400 m, 600 m, 800 m, and 1,200 m, divided by age group. The Associació Atlètica Mitja Marató Figueres organizes the event, which is listed on the Catalan Athletics Federation calendar. The adult races follow a city course in Figueres, providing timing, medical support, toilets, showers, a cloakroom, physiotherapy, and aid stations with both drinks and food. Occasionally, official course certification might be lost due to roadworks impacting sections of the route, leading to slight variations in listed distances from standard measurements. Participants receive a race bag, and trophies and cash prizes are awarded. A speaker at the finish line contributes to the local race atmosphere.

The Urban Souvenir Jean-Claude Moutet is a 10 km urban trail race held in Toulouges, located in France's Pyrénées-Orientales department.

Gérard De Biasi is the contact person, and race details are shared via Running66 and the Team Running 66 Facebook page.

La Cabestanyenca begins at Espace Nelson Mandela in Cabestany, a town in the Pyrénées-Orientales. The main 10 km race starts at 10 AM. This is a small annual running event offering a timed and ranked 10 km race, alongside a 5 km option that can be completed as a run or a timed walk without rankings. The longer route follows roads, paths, and vineyard sections just outside town. The shorter distance is designed to be more accessible for walkers and casual runners. Children aged 7 and up have their own races, starting later in the morning. Entry fees are modest: 8 € for the 10 km, 5 € for the 5 km, and 2 € for children.

The event also features a hiking option, attracting more walkers than many local races. The route crosses the hills surrounding Reynès, with spring details that help visualize the course: cherry trees beginning to bloom, views toward Canigó, mimosa scent in the air, and violets along the banks. Participants come from across France, Belgium, and both northern and southern Catalonia, including individuals from the Manresa area.

The Course de l'Artichaut, also known as La Cursa de la Carxofa, is a local road race held in Villelongue-de-la-Salanque, southern France. The primary events are 10 km and 5 km races, both beginning at 9:30 AM. Additionally, there is a 3 km race for Benjamin-category runners, children's races of 400 m and 800 m, and a family walk following the same circuit. The 10 km course is flat and 95% on road, featuring a 450-meter straight at the start and finish. Aid stations are located at kilometers 3 and 8. The 5 km race is entirely on road, shares the same long straight for its start and finish, and includes an aid station at kilometer 3. Sports Loisirs Villelonguet organizes the event, with approximately 90 volunteers managing safety, registration, and refreshments. The artichoke theme connects to local farming; prizes are sourced from local agriculture, and the race serves to showcase this produce to runners, walkers, children, and families.

Argelès Nature Trail is a spring trail-running weekend held in Argelès-sur-Mer, utilizing the Valmy routes above the Mediterranean side of the Pyrénées-Orientales. The program offers multiple trail distances, a Nordic walk, a nature hike, and four children’s races. The longest option is 23 km with 1,650 m of elevation gain, available also as a duo entry. Shorter distances include 15 km with 800 m of gain, 10 km with 250 m, and 7 km with 300 m, providing varied levels of challenge over the same weekend. The courses are set in the Valmy area, resulting in hillier terrain than the sea-level location of Argelès-sur-Mer might imply. Both licensed and non-licensed runners are eligible to enter, with men’s and women’s categories for certain distances, and children’s races are free. The association Courses de la Massane organizes the event, ensuring safety with control posts and a medical team. Registration requires standard French race documentation: an FFA competition license, Pass’Running, a medical certificate, or PPS.
