Le Run'Tour Noeuxois is a Sunday morning race series held in Nœux-les-Mines, located in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France. It is structured as a series of urban and rural events, offering choices for runners, walkers, and children, rather than a single main race. The program includes distances from short youth events up to 10 km races, with a 21 km option for the longest distance. The listed distances are 600 m, 1 km, 2 km, 3 km, 6 km, 10 km, and 21 km, allowing families and local club runners to participate in the same event without requiring identical paces or objectives. The morning begins with the 21 km event, followed by the 10 km and 6 km races, concluding with the shorter youth races around midday. Noeux Athlét organizes the series, and a recent edition saw 334 participants.

Marchiennes offers a flat road race in the Nord department of Hauts-de-France, with options for 10 km or a half-marathon. The 10 km event, held since 1998, recently saw over 2,600 finishers. The 10 km holds a National label, and the half-marathon a Regional label; both distances allow runners to qualify for the French championships. The routes follow roads through forest, villages, and open fields near Marchiennes. Runners frequently mention the countryside scenery alongside the fast course. The Office municipal des sports de Marchiennes organizes the race, providing aid stations every 5 km and a finish bag with water, an apple, and a cereal bar.

The event's logistics are based at the Palais des Grottes in Cambrai, where bibs are collected before race day. Registration is managed through Adeorun. Participants require a current FFA licence or the French athletics federation’s health-prevention document. The first 500 pre-registered runners on the Poudrière, Nimègue, and Vauban courses receive a souvenir jersey. Trophies and gift baskets are awarded in broad categories like Senior and Master.

The Marathon International de Lille is a 42.195-kilometer road marathon beginning in Lille, the capital of Flanders. It is set for an autumn return after more than thirty years. The Ligue Hauts-de-France d'Athlétisme is organizing the event, reintroducing the marathon distance to a city already known for its popular running events. The specific marathon route is still to be announced, but Lille's races typically feature relatively flat terrain, conducive to fast running times. The city's half-marathon course has seen three French records and one junior world record set, and the overall race day surrounding the half marathon has attracted 18,000 participants. Spectators can anticipate enthusiastic support along the streets, with encouragement noted throughout the course. A notable mark from the marathon's past is Chantal Langlacé's time of 2:33:58, achieved by the French runner on the Lille course.

Course du Souvenir takes place in Ploegsteert, Belgium, on the remembrance holiday. It serves as both a commemoration and a race day, featuring a half marathon and an 8 km race. The event attracts a substantial field for a local remembrance race, with a record 5,500 runners recorded in the available report. The competition at the front is fast: Patrick Nimubona won the half marathon in 1:03:59, and Steven Casteele won the 8 km in 23:08.

The Montigny-en-Gohelle race takes place in early March in Montigny-en-Gohelle, a commune in northern France. It is held outdoors, utilizing the commune itself rather than a confined venue. The event offers 5 km and 10 km races, alongside a 1.5 km option, catering to experienced runners as well as younger or less experienced participants. The race has a history spanning over 30 years and typically attracts around 1,200 participants. Organizers present it as a beneficial preparation event for those training for other races. Side activities and minor adjustments are incorporated to facilitate participation. Competitors must provide the standard French running documentation: a valid license, a recent medical certificate, or a health-prevention attestation (PPS).

The Trail des Mineurs in Grenay, Pas-de-Calais, is a trail race set in a former coal-mining region, distinct from mountain races. Participants can select from short and middle-distance options: a 10 km route with 180 m elevation gain, a 16 km route with 320 m, and a 22 km route with 400 m. The ascents are on the terrils, the slag heaps from the mines. Even the shortest race includes a climb up one, and the longest involves ascending five. The course winds through slag heaps and past mining landmarks, connecting the race to northern France's industrial history. This event is part of the Trail des Mineurs series and adopts the slogan “Il va falloir aller au charbon!” which translates to “You’ll have to go to the coal!” The organisers state the course is accessible, allowing for walking, and is suitable for more than just experienced trail runners. All finishers receive a medal, a trail cup, photos, beer, and fries. Refreshments are provided along the route and at the finish, and a physiotherapist will be on hand post-race.

The 21 km de Dour is a road half marathon held in Dour, Belgium. Alongside the full 21.0975 km distance, there is also a shorter 8 km race. It is part of the 21KM.be challenge and is considered one of the most difficult races in that series. The half marathon is noted for its most technical course. Though the event is only five years old, it attracts a large field, with approximately 3,000 runners participating in a recent edition. The route crosses Dour and its environs exclusively on roads. It is not a course suited for an easy, flat run. Participants face frequent accelerations, ascents, and changes in pace, making strategy, focus, and consistent effort as critical as outright speed. The 8 km race is presented as very quick, offering a faster option to the challenging half marathon. Aid stations are positioned along the route, and the finish takes place at a new sports complex. Amenities include City Wash, a sauna, massage services, a finisher shirt, a commemorative medal, and awards for various categories.

Foulées 'Nature' is a road race in Roncq, Nord department, France, near the Belgian border, typically held in early April.

The 10 km is the intermediate option, and the half marathon is the longest, presented as a route through the area’s natural surroundings. The start is on rue Maurice Thorez in Roncq. The 10 km and half marathon have a regional designation qualifying runners for the French Championship. Jogging Aventure Roncquoise organizes the event, which also features a free school race for local pupils from CE2 to CM2. Entry requirements align with French athletics categories, with specific minimum age groups for each distance. Runners need an FFA license or a PPS. One euro from each registration supports Comp'Lys. The event provides practical amenities including free childcare, bag drop, changing rooms, and showers.

Les Foulées d'Isidore is a race held in early April in Lezennes, a town in the Nord department near Lille in Hauts-de-France.

Dedicated courses are provided for children and junior runners, making the day suitable for families and adult participants alike. The routes traverse urban streets and a public park within the Lille suburbs. The half marathon is the most popular distance, and the shorter races cater to newer runners and local club members. Its motto is “À pas de géant !”, and it is recognized on the regional racing calendar as a small-scale community event, with the previous edition attracting over 100 participants.
