* The '''[http://www.poucedor.free.fr/ Pouce d’Or]''' is a yearly race over a week-end in the beginning of autumn(usually the first week-end of October). The winner is the one who manages to reach the furthest point and come back before the race is over. It is organized by "Ecole Centrale de Nantes" since 2003 and gathers up to 120 people. In 2012, 3 others schools joined in (Centrale Lille, Télécom Brest and Agro Montpellier). Note: it seems other French schools/universities organize similar races but without advertising or communicating publicly. In 2015, 23 schools in total participated to the 13nd edition of this contest (including Centrale Nantes, Centrale Lille, Centrale Marseille, Audencia, EM Normandie, ESTP, Mines Saint-Etienne). More than 400 students were on the roads during this week-end.
* The '''Hitchhiking Contest''' was an unofficial event, from [[Paris]] to [[Dakar]] in 2011.
* The '''Jack Kerouac trophy''' organized in 2012 by the 'Binouze Hikers'. A one day race from Paris to a bar in Normandy, in which around 50 people took part. No sign it will be repeated.
