Recurring Half Marathon races near Breda
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Den Halve van Geshaa
Den Halve van Geshaa is a half marathon held in Grasheide, a hamlet of Putte in Antwerp province, Belgium, on the first Saturday of October. The main race covers 21.1 km. Runners can also complete the distance as a relay team of two or three. Additionally, a 7 km race follows the same route for those preferring a single lap.
The start and finish are located at the SV Grasheide football club on Galeistraat. The half marathon consists of three laps of 7.033 km each. Approximately half of the course is unpaved, combining quiet paved roads with field and forest paths. The route is closed to traffic, with marshals and kilometer markers provided. Water stations are available on each lap, along with a supply point at 3.5 km. Geshaalopers organize the event, making it accessible for local runners and relay teams, and supporting a different charitable cause annually.
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.
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.
ASML Marathon Eindhoven
The ASML Marathon Eindhoven takes place over two days on the second weekend of October. It stands as North Brabant's largest two-day sports event, featuring a full marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon, City Run, Kids Run, Urban Walk, and Your Marathon Challenge. The half marathon attracts the most runners, and the main race accommodates up to 15,000 participants.
The course is flat and wide, facilitating fast times, with a finish in the city center. Supporters line the route, and the event welcomes club runners, charity participants, families, and newcomers. A local tradition involves a connection with KWF's Run Against Cancer, allowing participants to fundraise for guaranteed entry spots when standard registration closes.
TREK Antwerp Marathon
The TREK Antwerp Marathon is an October running event in Antwerp, a Belgian port city on the Scheldt. Participants can select the full marathon, half marathon, or 10K, accommodating both long-distance runners and those seeking a shorter city race. The event draws a significant field for a Belgian city race, with approximately 20,000 runners participating across the three distances. This marks the sixth edition of the race.
The route crosses the center of Antwerp, passing historic landmarks instead of skirting the city's periphery. Marathon participants are supported by pacers identified by colored target-time flags. The course features aid stations and distinct kilometer and time markers. All finishers are awarded a medal, and marathon entrants also receive an event T-shirt. Additionally, runners have the option to pay after completing the race to have their medal engraved with their name and finish time. Timing is managed via electronic chip with live results available online. The practical arrangements include changing tents and secure bag storage, but showers are not provided at the venue.
Linker Oevert Marathon Antwerpen
The Linker Oevert Marathon Antwerpen is a city road race in Antwerp, Belgium, held in mid-October. Participants can select 10 km, half marathon, or full marathon distances, accommodating both those advancing from shorter races and experienced marathoners.
Each distance features a single-loop course: 10 km, 21.0975 km, or 42.195 km. The route crosses Antwerp, offering sights of the River Scheldt and city landmarks. Spectators can cheer runners, then explore Antwerp's attractions such as the zoo, the MAS museum, or the diamond district.
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.
Beemdenjogging
Beemdenjogging begins and ends at Kapelstraat 1 in Zoersel, sending runners into the Zoerselbos for a recreational nature run. Online registration remains open until late October, offering lower prices for pre-registration and a higher fee for same-day sign-ups. The facilities are functional: parking and bicycle storage are available at the start, with additional parking nearby in Zoersel, along with free sports bag storage, changing rooms, and showers.
The course consists mainly of unpaved roads, guiding participants through forest paths and quieter areas within and surrounding the Zoerselbos. The 14 km and 21 km routes feature aid stations, but participants must provide their own cup or bottle as disposable cups are not provided; reusable cups are available for purchase. All finishers receive a complimentary pancake post-race, and event photos will be published on the website, with participants able to inform photographers if they prefer not to be photographed.
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.
Alphense Bergen Trail
The Alphense Bergen Trail begins in Alphen, North Brabant, leading runners into the Alphense Bergen, a woodland region situated between Alphen and Chaam. This trail race offers multiple distances, ranging from approximately 9 km to 24 km, allowing participants to select a brief off-road run or a more extended trail challenge.
The course crosses the nature reserve surrounding the Het Zand fen, utilizing woodland paths, heathland, single tracks, and numerous small inclines. The terrain is noted as demanding and diverse, with a course that continually shifts. Experienced trail runners will find a concise yet vigorous race, while road runners new to trail running can opt for a shorter distance to still experience the woods and heath.
Donkmeerloop De Mooiste Halve
Donkmeerloop De Mooiste Halve is a road race held at Festival Hall Donkmeer in Berlare, East Flanders. The start and finish are on Donklaan, adjacent to the lake. The race offers 6 km, 12 km, and half marathon distances, and is scheduled for autumn. Jente Samson, the Flanders Project Team, the municipality of Berlare, and the Province of East Flanders organize the event. It has been held for 11 consecutive editions, expanding from 450 participants in its first year to over 2,000, with fields now sold out.
The courses traverse the Donkmeer area, the old duck decoy, and Nieuwdonk. This ensures even the shorter distances offer the same lake-and-park environment as the half marathon. Half marathon participants can utilize seven pacers, identifiable by orange shirts, aiming for finish times between 1:20 and 2:10. Past editions featured the Belgian Championship, charity runs, and support for a children's heart fund. The race maintains practical amenities: aid stations on each lap, electronic timing, changing facilities and showers at the start/finish, medals for all finishers, a finisher drink, and trophies awarded.

About Half Marathon races in Breda
Breda Base Miles
Breda hosts 44 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 run Breda like a park-dominant training town, with easy Z2 from the city centre into Park Valkenberg and the Central Station on a 7 km loop. Runners of Breda keeps it social with monthly fun runs, sip & run, cake & run, and silent disco run nights. Parkrun meets every Saturday morning in the Waterakkers. Breda-Noord gives runners an 8 km escape through Wisselaar and the Strikberg meadows. Mastbos pulls longer runs south toward Galderse Meren. Singelloop Breda is the anchor event, and De Tien van 't Aogje and Haagse Beemden Loop keep the calendar local.
Locals ride out of Breda for smooth asphalt, woods, and proper base miles without making a fuss about climbs. The Fietsallee links Breda and Alphen, with Slingerdreef and Huisdreef putting riders straight into that Brabant rhythm. The Bels Lijntje runs 37 km between Tilburg and Turnhout and takes you through the countryside in a clean line. Riders use Fransebaan in Alphen when they want fewer cars. Gravel riders dive off the smooth tarmac into woods, singletrack, gravel roads, and sandy paths. The five Breda gravel routes cover 427 km and gain 830 m. The climbs live in that accumulated gravel gain, not in mountains.
October belongs to Singelloop Breda, so runners can build intervals, tempo, and Z2 around a clear anchor event. May brings the Fit Forward Triatlon and Haagse Beemden Loop. August brings Dorpsloop Teteringen. September brings De Tien van 't Aogje and De 5 van Bavel. Summer keeps both sports open and social, with rides past farm shops and along the Zuiderwaterlinie fitting neatly beside steady run blocks. Winter changes the surface more than the mood. The Santa-Run lands in December. The Snoeren Mastboscross lands in January, so runners get cyclocross energy underfoot while cyclists keep the woods in the rotation.
