Recurring Marathon races near Apeldoorn
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
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.
Landgoed Twente Marathon
The Landgoed Twente Marathon is a recreational marathon held in De Lutte, Overijssel, starting at Landgoedcamping Het Meuleman each October. It is not a chip-timed race, focusing more on completing the route than achieving an official time. Participants can run solo or as part of a duo, with the duo category being more popular than the solo.
The course features paved roads and unpaved sections within the Twente estate. Loopgroep Dionysos Denekamp organizes the event. Landgoed De Wilmersberg, a country estate with almost a century of history hosting holiday guests, has long supported the marathon. Duo participants are given a special bicycle sign, and the event includes music, local food, and drinks.
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.
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.
Hafkamp Groenewegen De Ronde Venen Marathon
The Hafkamp Groenewegen De Ronde Venen Marathon starts and finishes in the center of Abcoude, a village about 3 km south of Amsterdam. It is a November running event in the municipality of De Ronde Venen, with a full marathon, a duo marathon, a 10 km race, and a mini-marathon. The full marathon is a paved, single-loop course through the Groene Hart, the green rural area between major Dutch cities. The duo marathon gives two runners one marathon to share, with partners alternating between running and cycling.
The course visits all eight villages in De Ronde Venen and mixes village roads with open countryside. Runners pass rivers, meadows, a former railway line, a cattle farm, and the Botshol nature reserve. The official description calls the route fast and varied, which fits a course that keeps changing without leaving the flat Dutch landscape. The De Ronde Venen Marathon Foundation organizes the event, and the race is aimed at both recreational runners and more competitive runners who want a full-distance road marathon close to Amsterdam.
Bovenboerloop
The Bovenboerloop is a December running event in Nijeveen, Drenthe, offering distances from 6 km to the half marathon. It is run as a fun run, not a large-scale city race, with approximately 120 participants reported. Local triathlon club TZT86 organizes the event, with online registration and race numbers/timing chips collected at the DOS’46 korfball club canteen.
The route leads through the open countryside surrounding Nijeveen, where wind and rain can be significant factors due to limited shelter. The half marathon has seen personal-best performances, such as Paul Hanique's reported 1:25:49 finish. The race has a history spanning over thirty editions, and the local setup continues post-race with showers and refreshments available at the canteen.
Boscross Diever
Boscross Diever is a trail and cross race in Diever, Netherlands, featuring a demanding course through the Drents-Friese Wold. Participants can select from 10.5 km, half marathon, 31.7 km, or full marathon distances, with all races commencing simultaneously at 11:00 AM.
The 10.5 km course is a single loop. The longer distances extend this format up to 42.2 km. The event has a participant limit of 150, making it an intimate forest race rather than a large-scale urban event. Registration can be completed beforehand or on the day of the race. Changing facilities are available, and the organizing club is a member of the Atletiekunie, the national athletics federation of the Netherlands.
Dwingelderveld Marathon
Run Forest Run Dwingelderveld is a trail race in Dwingeloo, in the southwest of Drenthe, with routes through National Park Dwingelderveld. The area is wet heathland, presenting runners with ponds, small lakes, forest tracks, and patches of drifting sand instead of a road-race setting. The event offers three distances from 15 km up to 44 km, making it a compact trail day rather than a single marathon-only race.
The longest reported route is a 44 km loop near Dwingeloo. Entries are capped at 600 runners, with separate men’s and women’s categories, and no on-site registration is available. The start uses a Dutch “druppelstart,” a staggered start where runners scan their bib and go, which prevents the field from bunching up on the trails. Race-day logistics are simple and practical: traffic controllers guide cars to parking near the start and finish, and number pickup and toilets are handled efficiently, allowing runners to wait in the car to stay warm before starting.
Midwinter Marathon Apeldoorn
The Midwinter Marathon Apeldoorn begins and ends on the Loolaan, leading runners into the wooded, hilly outskirts of Apeldoorn during the Dutch winter. Taking place in January or February, it has been held annually since 1974, establishing it as the second oldest running event in the Netherlands. The weekend features multiple distances, including a full marathon, a 25 km Asselronde, a 10 English mile race, an 8 km race, and shorter options like kids' races and a night run.
The course primarily crosses forest and heathland rather than city streets, with some routes ascending to approximately 100 meters above sea level. The marathon is now presented as a trail run. Winter weather is integral to the race's character; past editions have included snow on the course, yet the event has never been canceled due to winter conditions. The Asselronde is a long-standing event in its own right, and the shorter races attract participants seeking the Apeldoorn atmosphere without committing to the full marathon. A summer counterpart event occurs in June, but the original race retains its cold-weather identity.
Halve Marathon van Haren
The Halve Marathon van Haren is a spring road race held in Haren, Groningen. The main half marathon begins at Geertsemaweg. The event also offers 10 km and 5 km races, alongside a short adapted-sport FrameRun. This setup accommodates regular runners, younger participants, and athletes using running frames. Entry is limited to 2,000 participants, with no late registration permitted.
The half marathon route winds through the Haren area, utilizing the Scharlakenhof sports centre as a nearby base. Participants should anticipate a walk of just under a kilometre from the sports centre to the start line. Parking may require extra time because of the area's popularity. ATC '75 is the organizer for this event, now in its fortieth edition. Available facilities include changing rooms, showers, massage services, first aid, AEDs, and parking.
Halve Marathon de Waal
The Halve Marathon de Waal is a small annual road race held in De Waal on Texel, starting at Langwaal 9. AV Texel, along with the village committee, organizes the event. The program includes youth races of 1.2 and 2.5 km, alongside 5 km, 10.6 km, and the 21.1 km half marathon. For many local runners, it marks the start of the road running season on the island. The field is limited to 250 participants.
The routes traverse the Waal and Burg area, a rural part of Texel situated just outside the village. The event has taken place since the eighties, giving it the character of a local tradition rather than a large-scale production. Participants travel from beyond Texel, yet the race retains village-race customs: late entries are managed at the village hall, free soup is provided post-finish, and the raffle’s main prize is a duvet.

About Marathon races in Apeldoorn
Apeldoorn Training Notes
Apeldoorn hosts 25 Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run west when they want forest legs and quiet Z2. The 10 km Kroondomeinen route starts in Wiesel and gives you unpaved paths without much fuss. The Oranjepark and Paleis Het Loo route also runs 10 km and keeps things closer to town. AV '34 trains from Sportlaan 19, and Running Movements Apeldoorn goes on Wednesdays and Fridays from 19:30 to 21:00 and Sundays at 9:30. Dennis Licht calls Kroondomein Het Loo his regular ground. Midwinter Marathon Apeldoorn is the anchor event, with Acht van Apeldoorn and Asselronde close behind.
Locals ride the Veluwe side for texture and the IJssel side for flatter base miles. The Cycle route Crafts around Apeldoorn runs 44 km, the Geldersche Castles Route runs 68 km, and Versatile Veluwe runs 38 km. Gravel riders start from Giant Store Van Hest on Arnhemseweg and choose Kroondomein loops of 55 km, 76 km, or 96 km. Omnisport Apeldoorn gives the bike scene its big indoor marker. Ronde van Ugchelen is the local race name to know. Koningsweg, Miggelenberg, Woeste Hoeve, and Trapjesberg give the climbs, with Trapjesberg hitting a max of 8%.
February belongs to Midwinter Marathon Apeldoorn, and locals treat it like the winter anchor. June brings Randerode Zomercross, with showers and changing rooms at Atletiekbaan Orderbos, and the course has no leaves to clear. September gives Baanloop legs, October gives Spelderholtloop rhythm, and December closes hard with Wisent Winter Trail on December 31st. Summer makes the forest paths, heath, drifting sands, and gravel roads feel fast and open. Winter shifts both sports toward mud, cyclocross habits, steady intervals, and routes outside Kroondomein when it closes from September 15th to December 25th.
