The Beaver Trail is a series of technical trail races held in Poulx, a small commune near Nîmes in the Gard department of Occitanie, taking place under the October sun. It features five trail races and a walking option: 9 km, 18 km, 28 km, 50 km, 80 km, and a 10 km Nordic walk. The Ti' Beaver covers 200 m of elevation gain, the 18 km Beaver Découverte has 650 m of climbing, the 28 km Beaver Confirmé climbs 1,200 m, the 50 km Beaver Intense gains 1,850 m, and the 80 km Trail Peï lists 1,000 m of ascent. The courses traverse the rugged natural terrain surrounding the Gardon gorges, with the river accompanying participants through an area covering three Natura 2000 sites. The 28 km and 50 km races are eligible for ITRA points and serve as UTMB World Series Qualifiers. They are also part of the Challenge Gardois des Trails, with Beaver Trail being the second-to-last event before Hivernatrail in December. The 10 km Nordic walk includes a charitable component, with its entire registration fee donated to the League Against Cancer.

Tavel Nature Trail is an October trail-running event held in Tavel, a wine village in the Gard department of southern France. The races utilize the vineyard terrain of Tavel rosé, with routes following local paths, garrigue tracks, hilly ground, and wooded sections instead of road loops. The primary options are a short trail of approximately 12 km with about 450 m of elevation gain and a longer race of around 20 to 22 km with roughly 750 m of elevation gain. The longer race is known as Le 20 de Tavel, offering both solo and relay formats. The shorter race is identified as La Vinaventure or La Vinaventaure in various listings. Certain editions also feature a 10 km walk, Randonnée la divine, making the day accessible to non-runners as well. The event is organized by JOG'IN NATURE TAVEL, providing aid stations and changing facilities. One recent edition saw just over 300 participants.

Trail des Calades is a trail-running event in Saint-Jean-de-Cuculles, a village in Hérault in southern France, located at the foot of Pic Saint-Loup. It typically takes place in mid-October and provides two distance options: a 10 km trail and a 17 km trail, with the latter featuring 650 m of elevation gain. The courses follow the paths surrounding the village, offering runners technical trails, consistent ascents, and quick descents instead of a flat road race. The event attracts a local following alongside visiting trail runners, with over 300 adults and nearly 80 children participating in a recent running. It has been held for at least ten years, and one past anniversary start featured the sound of the pibole, while organizers also honored Jean-Claude Delarue, a local figure with ties to the race community.

The Ronde des Vergers begins at the Moulin à huile, Maison Leydier, in Saint-Martin-de-Crau, a town in Provence situated near the Camargue and the Alpilles. Held in October, it features 5 km and 10 km races, along with walks covering the same distances. This variety accommodates runners, walkers, families, and individuals seeking a brief nature excursion instead of a lengthy road competition. The course winds through olive groves, peach orchards, and sections of the Crau Nature Reserve, a unique protected steppe environment in Europe. While significant elevation changes are not noted, the natural ground requires some preparation. The event, now in its third year, has become a way for participants to explore the Crau steppe on foot.

Les Foulées Aubaisiennes takes place in Aubais, a village in the Gard department of southern France, with races typically held in October. This event is a series of local races, not a single-distance road race. Participants can select from short races of approximately 5 to 6 km, a 10 km race, and a longer 21.8 km race. Additionally, there is a 10 km route for Nordic walkers. The race holds a Nature label, and the shorter event is designated as a nature run, though some sources also classify the main running distances as road races. The longer course includes up to 300 m of elevation gain, indicating it is more than a simple village run. AASCAVTT organizes the event, which features children’s races and has attracted nearly 300 participants in the 10 km race, with a high completion rate.

Les 10 km d'Arles is a city road-running event in Arles, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France. Participants gather in late October for a straightforward race format: a 10 km road race, a 5 km road race, and shorter courses designed for children and juniors. Both adult races feature single-loop courses that wind through the streets of Arles, centering the event on urban running rather than excursions into the countryside. The 10 km is the primary event and the most attended distance, while the 5 km offers a more accessible option for newer runners or those preferring shorter distances. The prior edition attracted over 300 participants, indicating a local, approachable race rather than a large-scale event.

Courir avec Sarah in Saint-Hilaire-d'Ozilhan is a charity race scheduled for October, with the specific date yet to be confirmed. The main event is a 10 km run, complemented by walking and Nordic walking options, catering to participants beyond those seeking a standard road-race distance. The offerings include an 8 km Nordic walk and a 5 km walk that also accommodates Nordic walking. Younger participants have dedicated short races of 1.5 km and 750 m, contributing to the event's atmosphere as a local community gathering rather than a singular competitive field. Registration and logistical information are managed via Miles Republic.

Les Foulées de la Solidarité is a charity race in Le Crès, near Montpellier, featuring running races and canicross. Participation requires a donation of non-perishable food or hygiene products, with all collections benefiting the Banque Alimentaire du Crès via the local CCAS. The event is scheduled for November. Runners can pre-register online for the foot races; canicross registration is handled through a separate federation platform. The running distances are 5 km and 10 km, both on new courses around the Lac site. The 5 km route uses paths and small trails, while the 10 km route is more technical with stony ground. Upon collecting bibs, participants drop off their donation and receive a ticket for their race number. Pre-registration allows for advance submission of the required medical certificate. The food drive is substantial; the event previously collected 2.2 tonnes of food and hygiene products for the local food bank.
