The Semi Nature de Romans courses begin and end at the Guillermoz stadium in Romans-sur-Isère, Drôme. This early October road race offers a semi-nature character, with runners on paved roads winding between town outskirts and more natural settings.

The primary 10 km race, measured at about 9.7 km, can be completed individually or in pairs, adding a social dimension beyond typical road races. Organized by Entente athlétique romanaise et péageoise, its fifth edition attracted 380 participants, with 260 in the 10 km event. Romans-sur-Isère, known as the shoe capital, embraces this local heritage with the motto: “C’est un beau roman, c’est une belle course !”

Trail des Roses is a winter trail race in Moras offering two timed distances: 10 km and 21 km. With a limit of 900 participants, organizers frequently turn away applicants, indicating it's a local-feeling event that consistently fills its capacity. The race is presented as a chance to regain fitness: challenging for those aiming for a personal best, yet relaxed enough for participants restarting their season with companions. The courses feature viewpoints, ascents, and descents that organizers acknowledge will be physically demanding. These routes are in their second and final iteration, offering participants familiar with them a last opportunity to improve their times before the race course is altered. Upon finishing, all participants receive a rose, a beverage choice (beer or other), and a local Moras snack. The post-race gathering is considered an integral part of the event.

Le Grand Prix de la Châtaigne takes place in late October in Lamastre, a town in France’s Ardèche region.

The races are held in semi-darkness through the town center, requiring participants to use headlamps. The program also features courses for children and juniors. The format is suitable for families and runners seeking a brief evening challenge instead of a lengthy mountain race. The urban trail covers approximately 280 meters of elevation gain, adding difficulty to the shorter distances. This event is part of the Challenge Yves Forot, organized by the Lamastre Town Hall’s sports department with support from local Crédit Agricole. A free 5.3 km hike benefits Octobre Rose, and the evening concludes with a complimentary tasting of roasted chestnuts, aligning with the race's theme.

The 10 km race climbs 490 metres, the 14 km route has 550 metres of gain, and the 19 km route reaches 650 metres. This makes it a compact local trail event with significant climbing, suited to runners seeking a January outing on hilly terrain rather than a flat road race.
