Recurring Half Marathon races near Dordrecht
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.
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.
Freedom Run 2018
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

About Half Marathon races in Dordrecht
Dordrecht Training Notes
Dordrecht hosts 53 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 Dordrecht from the parks first, with Wantijpark as the easy meeting point. Wantijpark parkrun gives you a 5k loop with the lake, geese, sheep, clean lawns, and proper shade when the legs feel flat. Runners use Merwepark and the Dordtse Biesbosch when they want quieter base miles near water. RouteYou lists over 40 running routes in Dordrecht, so locals can stitch together Z2 loops without thinking too hard. HYBRID ENGINE Run Club brings the sharper work with longer distances, faster paces, and interval runs. Run for Hope - Dordrecht, Zoomer Wantijrun, Verkerkloop, and 4 Mijl van Papendrecht sit on the local calendar.
Locals ride Dordrecht like an island city, with rivers setting the rhythm. The VVV Dordrecht-Kinderdijk-Biesbosch route takes riders through the historic city centre, the Alblasserwaard, and the Hollandse Biesbosch. The Waterbus carries bikes between Dordrecht and Alblasserdam, which makes the Kinderdijk loop easy to plug into a longer ride. The route runs past Oud-Alblas, Bleskensgraaf, Wijngaarden, the Alblas, and the Graafstroom. The polders south of Dordrecht are where locals go to lekker gas te geven. Dordrecht gives you no named climbs here, so the work is wind, bridges, crit legs, and flat power. DRC de Mol, Dordtse Renners Club De Mol, anchors the racing scene with road, cyclocross, and regional events.
April to September is the cleanest block for cycling, because DRC de Mol runs the Wednesday Competition from April 1 to September 9. The Wednesday races run from 19:00 to 20:30, so locals can stack work, dinner, and a hard crit-style hit in one evening. Summer running stays good in Wantijpark because the trees give shade and the 5k loop stays simple. Summer rides stretch toward the Dordtse Biesbosch, where narrow bike paths, reed, water, and birds make the Z2 hours pass fast. Winter shifts cyclists toward the Sani-Dump Voorjaarscompetitie from January to March and regional cyclocross. Runners keep using the parks and club intervals when daylight gets short.
