Information on its schedule, entry fees, and registration is available via Miles Republic. The series offers various distances designed to accommodate a wide range of participants, rather than focusing on a single main race. The shortest event is les matrus, a 400 m children’s race. Adults and older children can select la grabotte (2 km) or la pampille (5 km). Each distance is available as a run, a walk, or a Nordic walk. This event is suitable for beginners, regular walkers, club runners, and athletes seeking a brief local challenge. Visitors might also consider the trip to Saint-Étienne to visit the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain.

Run In Lyon offers four race distances through central Lyon: a 5 km solidarity run, 10 km, half marathon, and marathon. Held in October, it carries an FFA Label Argent, placing it within the official French road-racing system. Demand is high for the short and middle distances, with the 10 km and half marathon often selling out, while the marathon presents the longest challenge. The routes are urban, with spectators lining the roads. Lyon’s history, old streets, and culinary identity are integral to the race setting. Marathon runners should anticipate some climbing, with 293 meters of elevation gain. Practical race-day support includes bag drops, aid stations, and toilets at 5 km intervals and the finish, along with pacers for those aiming for a specific time. The Run In Lyon Village manages bib pickup and offers coaching, product testing, and photography, while charity bibs allow participants to race for a cause.

These races are associated with the run&rose initiative and are organized by the City of Jonage in partnership with Association Les Roses. Registration is managed via Miles Republic.

DIXkm de Caluire is a road race held in mid-October in Caluire-et-Cuire, a town near Lyon in the Rhône department. While the name highlights the 10 km distance, the event includes a 5 km race, free 1 km and 2 km children's races, and a free 10 km handisport race. The series has been a fixture on the Lyon running calendar for over 40 years, offering choices for children, novices, club members, and runners aiming for a faster 10 km time. The Quai de Saône is a short distance from Caluire-et-Cuire, allowing participants to combine the race with a brief walk along the river.

The Course des Lumières Lyon is an evening charity run and walk. Participants carry lights through Lyon to support patients and the Fondation Hospices Civils de Lyon. The event starts after dark, with waves beginning in the late afternoon and continuing into the evening. Several straightforward options are available: a 5 km run, a 5 km walk, a 10 km run, a non-timed 10 km at dusk, and a timed 10 km for those seeking an official performance time. The event centers on Place du Maréchal Lyautey, where the race village opens before the starts. It maintains a social atmosphere with DJs, food trucks, and company groups. The format accommodates families, friends, solo runners, walkers, and workplace teams. Participants are encouraged to bring a luminous object, making the route appear as a moving line of lights. Fundraising is integrated into registration, with individual entries including a donation to Fondation HCL, and additional ambassador or enterprise options for groups aiming to raise more.

Courir à Peaugres is an 11 km foot race in Peaugres, held each November by the local association dedicated to sustaining the event annually. The adult race now follows a revised route, and the program continues to feature three children’s races. The course was altered when the safari park no longer permitted runners to pass through. Consequently, the race now bears the straightforward name “Courir à Peaugres.” Following its 30th edition, the organizers initiated a new phase with a new president, a new route, and a fan zone for spectators to encourage runners. The race is also part of the Agglo Run Challenge, a local series of four races that includes Trail d’Annonay, Trail des tulipes à St Cyr, and Foulée du St.

In Bonson, a village in the Forez plain of France’s Loire department, the Lieues Foréziennes offers three road races on the same morning: five lieues, two lieues, and one lieue. In modern distances, these are 21 km, 10 km, and 5 km. The longest race starts first, followed by the 10 km, and then the 5 km. The event is linked to Armistice Day in France, so Bonson observes a national day of remembrance with running alongside ceremony. The race has reached its 39th edition and can draw a large local field, with over 1,500 runners reported for that edition. The front of the race is competitive. Thibaud Nael won the men’s race for a fifth time, while Alison Gouteyron was also among the expected top performers. Nael mentioned he was followed until about the sixth kilometer before he pulled clear, indicating the main race is a fast local contest at the front, with a larger field participating in the shorter distances.
