Recurring 5K races near Amersfoort

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

De Beuningse Plasloop
SUN OCT 4
The De Beuningse Plasloop is an annual run in Beuningen, Gelderland, organized around the lake at the edge of town. This local road race includes 10 km and 5 km distances, two Kidsrun options, and an Ondernemersrun for corporate teams. The event accommodates a wide range of participants for its size: children, adult runners, competitive athletes, framerunners, and business teams are all included in the program. The course circles a former sand extraction site and follows the Beuningse Plas, primarily on paved paths outside the town limits. The route is mostly clear of vehicle traffic, with W.S.V. "de Beuningse Plas" acting as the start, finish, and central point. Post-race, participants gather at the clubhouse terrace, where volunteers from the watersports club offer drinks. The race employs electronic timing, posts results later, and presents medals and awards across multiple categories, including a special prize for the quickest entrepreneur.
Langs de Gouweloop Waddinxveen
SUN OCT 4
Langs de Gouweloop is a local road race in Waddinxveen, organized by Sportclub Antilope. The start and finish are on Gouweplein at the town’s shopping center. The program includes a 1.3 km kids run, and 5 km and 10 km performance runs for older participants. From Gouweplein, the route goes past the train station between Coenecoop and the Triangel district. A large part of the race takes place in Triangel before returning to the shopping center. The event has passed fifty editions, making it a long-running fixture.
Rondje Bergen
SUN OCT 4
Rondje Bergen is a running event in Bergen, North Holland, taking place on the first Sunday of October. It features short youth races of 1 and 2 kilometers, alongside 5K, 10K, and a 10 English mile option (16.1 kilometers), providing suitable distances for children, first-timers, club runners, and more serious participants. The route begins within the village: youth races are confined to the center, while longer distances traverse Bergen’s center, the Bergerbos, and the North Holland dune area. The event incorporates Bergen’s character as an artist village, establishing it as a relaxed gathering spot for runners and spectators, with old woods, wide lanes, dunes, and village streets combined within this local race day.
Pro Kids Lauf Emmerich
SUN OCT 4
TV Sportfreunde Elten's run offers a chance for families to get active together. Children can run at Eugen-Reintjes-Stadion. The Pro Kids Lauf Emmerich has been a tradition since 2011.
AVH 1 km, 3 km, 5 km baanloop
MON OCT 5
The AVH baanloop is a low-key track race in Hoofddorp, organized by Atletiekvereniging Haarlemmermeer. It takes place on the first Monday of each month, with pauses during winter and summer holidays. Participants can run 3 or 5 kilometers on the club’s synthetic track. The summer edition also features 5 kilometer runs in Arnolduspark. The cost is 2 euros, and registration is open in the AVH canteen until 30 minutes before the start. This event is designed for both ordinary and fast runners, intended for anyone who can run for half an hour and wishes to do so with or against others. Chip timing records every lap, allowing runners to review their split times later, with all results posted on the AVH website. The top three male and female finishers get small prizes, and there is also a start-number lottery. The track is soft enough for participants to wear old sneakers.
Venoseloop Vollenhove
SAT OCT 10
The Venoseloop Vollenhove takes place at holiday park 't Akkertien in Vollenhove, Overijssel, on the second Saturday of October. Participants can choose between a 5-kilometer or 10-kilometer run. This event is designed for a wide range of participants, including children, older runners, casual joggers, club runners, and those aiming for a specific time. The courses lead from the holiday park into Vollenhove and the surrounding countryside, including natural areas outside the village. Over 500 runners participate in the 5K and 10K races, providing a significant turnout without becoming an overly large event. It originated as a small local run and has become a regular fixture for many regional runners, supported by local organizations and sponsors. Recent events have included a dedicated podium and personal sponsor banners, with photography at various points such as the dike, Laan van Toutenburgh, the finish line, and aerial views of Vollenhove.
Dordtse Biesbosch Trailrun
SAT OCT 10
The Dordtse Biesbosch Trailrun begins and ends at the organizer's grounds on Schenkeldijk in Dordrecht, South Holland. This trail race crosses the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch, offering distance options from short Family Runs to a half marathon. Participants can select 3 km or 5 km Family Run courses, a standard 5 km, 10 km, 10 English Miles, or a 21.1 km half marathon, catering to children, novice runners, and those seeking a longer off-road challenge. The courses feature narrow paved paths, unpaved tracks, sandy stretches, and dikes, leading through the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch, the floodplains beside the Nieuwe Merwede, and the Elzenbos. The trail surface may present puddles, streams, branches, and tree trunks, making the race a test of adaptability to varied terrain rather than a pursuit of speed on a smooth road. The start-finish area provides baggage drop-off and changing facilities. The event maintains a relaxed outdoor atmosphere with campfires, marshmallow roasting for children post-race, and refreshments including coffee, tea, soft drinks, satay, and beer.
Jan Louter Loop
SAT OCT 10
The Janlouterloop begins at AV Fortuna on Watersportweg in Vlaardingen, leading runners into the Vlaardingse Broekpolder during autumn. Organized by AV Fortuna and affiliated with the Atletiekunie, the race offers 5, 10, or 15 kilometer distances. Starts are scheduled in late-morning waves, with entry fees varying by distance. The race commemorates Jan Louter, a former AV Fortuna trainer and dedicated runner who passed away from pancreatic cancer. He coached multiple running groups at the club, logged extensive mileage, and was known for his motivating enthusiasm. Net proceeds benefit Support Casper, a program of the Dutch Foundation Survive Pancreatic Cancer.
LoveLife Run - Amsterdam
SAT OCT 10
The LoveLife Run Amsterdam is a 5K race in Amsterdam for individuals living with cancer, cancer survivors, and their support networks. The Amsterdam event is scheduled for October, with past editions linked to the June Yet Zuidas Run held on the Zuidas. Stichting Fight cancer is the organizing body. The run serves a dual purpose: participants train to complete the 5-kilometer distance while simultaneously fundraising for cancer research. The race emphasizes support throughout the preparation period, extending beyond the event itself. Individuals can participate solo or as part of a team, often running with family, friends, medical professionals, or other caregivers. A 12-week training program is available for patients, guided by trainers from the Cancer Care Centre and FTSA who possess oncology expertise. The Amsterdam event has previously utilized a dedicated start area within the Yet Zuidas Run, providing LoveLife runners with a distinct space within a larger city race. A recent edition generated over EUR80,000 for Stichting Fight cancer. The training component also aims to foster connections among patients and aid them in rebuilding confidence in their physical capabilities during or after treatment.
EpilepsieLoop Amersfoort
SAT OCT 10
The EpilepsieLoop Amersfoort is a running and walking event held in Amersfoort, located in the Dutch province of Utrecht. The event details specify the location and the types of activities, but do not list specific distances, a designated start area, or a mapped course. The event welcomes both runners and walkers, indicating it is not solely a competitive road race for those focused on timing. For the most current information, participants are directed to the organizer's website, epilepsieloop.nl.
Run Bike Run
SAT OCT 10
Fearless 5K — Project Fearless
SUN OCT 11
The Fearless 5K is a five-kilometer community run taking place in Amsterdam’s Amsterdamse Bos, with the event area situated near the BosTheater. This run is held on the International Day of the Girl and is organized by Project Fearless. The entry fee functions as a donation to the organization, not as a standard race charge. The route follows a simple 5 km distance, but the event is intended for more than just fast running. Participants of all ages, genders, and speeds are welcome. Remote runners can also take part from other locations. Amsterdam participants have the option to register with or without a T-shirt, whereas remote participants do not receive one. This marks the race's fourth edition.

About 5K races in Amersfoort

Amersfoort Training Notes

Amersfoort hosts 144 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals keep running simple here: shoes on and go. Rondje Stad is the classic lap, because the route tracks the old city walls and feels right before work or after dinner. Rondje Schothorstpark gives you markings every 100 meters, so intervals stay easy to measure. Soesterduinen carries the longer trail mood, with a 10 km route plus 5 km blue and 3 km yellow options. Amersfoort Run Club meets every Tuesday at 19:15 from Eemplein at about 6:30 min/km. Tante Trail runs women-only trail groups on Saturdays. Marathon Amersfoort is the anchor event.

Locals ride out of the old centre and get to green space fast. The Eem River paths suit Z2 base miles and gentle spins. The Royal bicycle route links Baarn, Paleis Soestdijk, the Soesterduinen, and the polder along the Eem. The Around Spakenburg route runs through Arkemheen-Eemland toward Bunschoten-Spakenburg. The Amersfoort Beer Route keeps the social ride local. TC Hoogland sits on the club list if you want a name to start with. The Utrechtse Heuvelrug brings the climbs, and Amerongse berg reaches 69 meters near De Proloog.

Spring and summer feel like the cleanest build for both sports. Locals use the park loops, the dunes, and the Eem paths for steady weeks, then sharpen with Schothorstpark intervals or a harder Heuvelrug ride. Summer keeps the city lively, and Amersfoort still has that neat Olympic footnote from the 1928 Summer Olympics modern pentathlon. Winter changes the rhythm more than the map. Runners stay close to Rondje Stad, Schothorstpark, and marked Beweegrondjes. Riders keep base miles flatter on the Eem River paths, then save the heavier gravel and Heuvelrug work for better days.
