Recurring Half Marathon races near Amersfoort
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Leersumse Veld Trail
The Leersumse Veld Trail begins near Molecaten Park Landgoed Ginkelduin in Leersum, Netherlands, and takes place on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug during autumn. It is a trail race offering 11 km and 21 km distances, though the shorter option has been noted to be closer to 12 km. Both distances commence and conclude at the same point, with the race confined to natural landscapes managed by Staatsbosbeheer and Recreatiepark De Ginkel Duin.
The initial loop guides all participants through the Leersumse Veld, incorporating narrow trails, sandy sections, woodland paths, and sufficient elevation changes to distinguish it from a simple flat run. The shorter course features aid stations around the 7 km and 11 km marks before returning via sandy terrain to the finish. The longer course includes a second loop extending towards the Amerongse Bossen. Course designer Chris van Beem, who frequently runs between De Ginkel and the Leersumse Veld, ranks this route among his personal favorites.
Isoniq Urk Marathon
The Isoniq Urk Marathon begins and ends at the harbor in Urk. Runners depart beside the IJsselmeer during autumn. This road race offers a full marathon and a half marathon. The full marathon is presented as Flevoland’s sole marathon. The course is paved, certified, and designed for speed, not trail running.
The route follows Urk’s historic boulevard toward the dike, then consists of repeated laps: four for the marathon and two for the half. Loopgroep Urk, affiliated with Atletiekunie, organizes the event. Entry limits are 500 marathon runners and 200 half marathon runners, making it a focused local race instead of a large city marathon.
Let's Go Running - N70 Trail
Let's Go Running - N70 Trail is a monthly social trail run starting from the De Holdeurn parking lot in Berg en Dal, close to restaurant De Duivelsberg. Runners head into the N70 area for a relaxed run through nature reserves, featuring significant climbing but no set distance or elevation. The cost is €12.50, with a discount for Let's Go Running coachees.
The run consists of two loops, bringing runners back past their vehicles at the halfway point. The car trunks serve as an informal aid station for refreshments. Pace groups form around 6:00 per kilometer, emphasizing a shared outing over intense competition. A few days prior, participants get route details and a GPX file via email, and a post-run gathering at a local cafe is common.
Freedom Run 2018
Dordtse Biesbosch Trailrun
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.
Run Bike Run
TCS Amsterdam Marathon
The TCS Amsterdam Marathon is an October race weekend in Amsterdam with a full marathon as the main event, plus a half marathon and a 7.5K. The marathon starts and finishes inside the Olympic Stadium, which gives the day a very specific feel: thousands of runners begin either on the stadium field or nearby on Stadionweg, then return to finish back in the arena. It is a World Athletics Platinum Label race, and the course is flat and fast enough to draw runners chasing quick times as well as people who want a big-city marathon with a clear six-hour limit.
The route sends runners through Amsterdam and along the Amstel, using part of the old Olympic marathon course without turning the race into a city-center loop only. That stretch passes stately houses, windmills, open views, and working river traffic before the course comes back close to the center. Start waves are sorted by expected finish time, with bib colors matching wave colors, so the large field is managed in a fairly structured way.
TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2026
Runners begin and end inside Amsterdam’s historic Olympic Stadium, connecting the TCS Amsterdam Marathon to the city’s Olympic history. This annual road race in Amsterdam features the TCS Marathon as its primary distance. The course is flat and fast, appealing to participants seeking swift times and a major city race atmosphere.
The marathon course traces a section of the 1928 Olympic Games route along the Amstel River. It passes notable sights such as stately homes, windmills, the Rijksmuseum underpass, and the Heineken Experience, before looping through Vondelpark. The broader race weekend covers a half marathon, a 7.5 KM race, a Kids Run, a Heroes Run, Mini Marathons, and a Good Morning City Run. Additionally, there is a Marathon Expo, Pasta Party, a Business Run option, a charity program, and volunteer assistance coordinated by Le Champion.
Salland Zorgverzekeringen & Flynth Diepe Hel Holterbergloop
The Diepe Hel Holterbergloop guides runners and walkers up the Holterberg from Holten, Netherlands. This annual late-October event includes road running, walking, a Kidsrun, a Heroesloop, business categories, and main race distances of 6 km, 10 km, and a half marathon. The official title incorporates sponsors Salland Zorgverzekeringen and Flynth, with the organization affiliated with the Atletiekunie.
Saturday evening features a 6 km Nightrun and Nightwalk on an illuminated course; glow-in-the-dark outfits are encouraged. Sunday hosts the 10 km, half marathon, longer walks, and children’s events. The routes traverse the Sallandse Heuvelrug, utilizing rolling terrain, forest, and heathland instead of a flat city course. Thousands participate in the Holterberg challenge, with entries limited to 5,000 and no late registration, maintaining a local, organized atmosphere.
Droomtijdloop Delft
Droomtijdloop Delft is a half marathon held in Delft, covering 21.10 km on a late October night. Runners aim to achieve a "dream time." The participant limit is 1,200, making it resemble a club-organized Dutch road race more than a large city marathon. AV De Koplopers is the organizer, and the event is affiliated with Atletiekunie, the Dutch athletics federation.
The start is on Rijksstraatweg in Delft, with a single distance for men and women, not multiple shorter races. Practical race-day amenities contribute to its appeal: the venue is accessible by public transport, parking is provided, and runners have access to changing rooms, showers, first aid, AED support, and a supervised cloakroom. Late entry is unavailable, consistent with the controlled field size and planned logistics. This is the thirteenth edition of the race, giving it a history beyond a single local event.
41e BAX Halve Marathon van Doetinchem
The BAX Halve Marathon van Doetinchem begins on the recently renewed athletics track in Doetinchem, featuring five race distances from 1 km up to the half marathon. Participants can select from the 21.1 km half marathon, 15 km, 7.5 km, 2.5 km, or 1 km. This variety accommodates adults, youth runners, business teams, and adapted-sport participants. The event is affiliated with the Atletiekunie and has a participant cap of 1,500.
All distances follow routes through De Slangenburg, the nature reserve near Doetinchem, instead of solely using town streets. The shorter races make the event accessible for children and newer runners, while the 15 km and half marathon provide experienced runners with a longer route starting from the same athletics venue. This race marks its 41st edition and includes practical race-day facilities such as public transport access, parking, changing rooms, showers, first aid, and AEDs.
Gooi Half Marathon
The Gooi Half Marathon debuts in the Dutch region of Het Gooi, starting and finishing at Het Arsenaal in the fortified town of Naarden Vesting. Scheduled for November, it includes more than just a half marathon: participants can opt for a quarter marathon or a kids run, and a walking tour is also available. The event originated from organizer Mees Kremer's relocation to Naarden and his appreciation for the local forests, heath, river landscape, and historic surroundings.
The half marathon course highlights well-known locations near Naarden, such as Muiderberg, the Naardermeer, and Valkeveen. The majority of the route is paved, with some forest path segments, meaning trail shoes are unnecessary. Kremer is organizing the event with Tempo AV from Bussum, receiving support from the municipality of Gooise Meren. The race is being developed as a community day for Naarden, Bussum, and neighboring villages, utilizing traffic-calmed roads and minimizing road closure times at intersections.

About Half Marathon races in Amersfoort
Amersfoort Training Notes
Amersfoort hosts 51 Half Marathon 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.
