Recurring 5K races near Nijmegen

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Ittre Night Run

The Ittre Night Run starts in the village of Ittre in Belgium and sends runners out at dusk in autumn. It offers 5 km and 13 km races, with a kids run added for younger runners, so the evening is built for families as well as regular joggers. The race leans into the night setting: runners follow candlelit stretches, and the village adds a sound-and-light show around the event. Locals call it the “Nightrunners” jog, and its appeal comes from the simple setup of an autumn village run turned into an after-dark group outing.

Pro Kids Lauf Emmerich

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.

Langs de Gouweloop Waddinxveen

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.

De Beuningse Plasloop

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.

EpilepsieLoop Amersfoort

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.

79. Viersener Herbstwaldlauf Rund um den Bismarckturm

The Viersener Herbstwaldlauf Rund um den Bismarckturm is an autumn forest race in Viersen, Germany. All races start and finish at Stadion Hoher Busch. The program features a rolling 5k run, a 10k run, and a 7.25k walk or Nordic walk, catering to both runners and walkers. The 5k is open to adults aged 14 and older, with a one-hour time limit. The walking and Nordic walking event is open to participants aged 10 and older. Results are categorized by birth-year age groups, extending to older masters categories. The event also includes races for children and youth.

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.

The A.Vogelloop is a trail and forest run in 't Harde, beginning and ending in the A. Vogel gardens at the visitor center on Eperweg. The event utilizes the Zwaluwenburg estate, opened for the race by Geldersch Landschap & Kasteelen, with a field limit of 500 runners. It includes short children's races of 600 meters and 1,200 meters, plus 5 km and 10 km options for older youth and adults. The event is family-friendly: children have their own races within the gardens, while recreational runners and faster competitors use the longer program. The adult route is an unpaved 5 km loop that departs the A. Vogel gardens and runs through the forest, passing beech trees, rhododendrons, and a forest pond; 10 km runners complete the loop twice. The youngest children run one garden lap, and the 1,200-meter race uses two laps. Dispensatio organizes the race with A. Vogel and Geldersch Landschap & Kasteelen, maintaining the child-focused spirit seen in the Wallenloop and Havenloop. Around the visitor center are toilets, a water tap, coffee, tea, soft drinks, a pagoda tent, product stalls, first aid, and an AED. Participants are encouraged to arrive by bike, though parking is available.

Stadshagenrun Zwolle

The Stadshagenrun starts and finishes at Winkelcentrum Stadshagen, the shopping centre in Zwolle's Stadshagen district. This October running event includes a Kidsrun, a 1-mile race, a 5 km, and a 10 km, accommodating children, beginners, and regular runners on the same race day. The 10 km course consists of two laps of the 5 km route, simplifying navigation for participants and observers. A recent running of the event saw 1,850 registrations, an increase of approximately 200 from the prior year, and was held under the KRC Van Elderen Stadshagenrun name. AV PEC 1910 is noted as an organizer for an upcoming edition. Local sponsors supporting the event include KRC Van Elderen, Snelle Sokken (for the 5 km), De Hypotheekshop Zwolle (for the medals), Lopers Company Zwolle, and Ouro Nutrition Endurance.

The Jasperloop begins at 10:00 on the last Sunday of most months, located beside Het Keelven in Someren, close to forest café De Soete Inval. This is a small Dutch trimloop, emphasizing personal fitness testing over formal championship competition. Registration opens at 9:30; non-members pay €1, and participation is limited to 100 runners. The event occurs 11 times annually, with no session in December. The structure allows participants to complete 1 to 6 laps of a 2.5 km course, offering distances from 2.5 km to 15 km. The semi-paved loop winds through the woods surrounding Het Keelven. The start is accessible from the provincial road connecting Someren, Asten, and Heeze. The event welcomes runners of all ages and experience levels, from novices to seasoned athletes, though some participants compete seriously against their own times and fellow runners. The series has progressed through hundreds of editions.

Halloween Run Duisburg

Halloween Run Duisburg is a Halloween night run in Landschaftspark Nord, the old industrial park in Duisburg, Germany. It is held every Halloween and has been running since 2016, with children’s races in the early evening before the 5 km and 10 km starts. The event is a fun run, but it still uses official transponder timing, so runners get proper results rather than just a costume parade with a finish line. The route choices include short children’s distances of about 500 m and 1.2-1.5 km, plus longer options such as 2.5 km, 5 km, and 10 km depending on the program. The main hook is the setting after dark: runners move through Landschaftspark Nord under Halloween lighting, with themed staging and a changing motto such as “Fire & Light.” Costumes are part of the event rather than an extra joke on the side, and the field can include zombies, fairy-tale characters, families, club runners, and people there mostly for the atmosphere. Finishers receive a medal, digital certificates are available, and the finish area includes food, music, and a post-run Halloween program.

About 5K races in Nijmegen

Nijmegen Training Notes

Nijmegen hosts 126 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Goffertpark, the Ooijpolder, Het Bruggenrondje, Heumensoord, Rivierpark, Limes-route, and Hatertse Vennen when they want easy base miles without leaving town. Goffertpark gives you laps past the NEC stadium and onto the forest path. Het Bruggenrondje covers 5 km between the Waal Bridge and the railway bridge, and the Ooijpolder route gives 7.5 km of calm water and reeds. 024 Run Club, Social Run Club Nijmegen, and Tante Trail keep it social. Tante Trail meets every Saturday at 10:00 and runs 5 or 10 km. Zevenheuvelenloop, Alfa Laval Stevensloop, Staddijkloop, and the N70 Trail are the anchor races.

Cyclists ride north on the fietssnelweg to Arnhem over the Snelbinder bridge, or roll out through Lent, Ressen, Oosterhout, and the Over-Betuwe route for steady Z2. The numbered intersection network keeps road rides simple. Ronde van Nijmegen, Liberation Route Nijmegen, Water als Wapen - Rindern, and the Water as a Weapon - Driel route give plenty of event energy. The brief gives no cycling club name, so locals mostly point you to routes first. Groesbeek and Berg en Dal hold the climbs. Gravelroute Nijmegen runs slightly over 50 km through Groesbeek and the Reichswald, and the old fire watchtower south of Grafwegen makes you climb before the view.

April is the clean pick because April sees the least rainfall on average. July and August are the warmest months, so locals ride early, run shaded bits, and keep intervals honest when the city feels cooked. Vierdaagse lands in mid-July, and the roads and trails around Nijmegen get full of walkers, runners, and cyclists using the buzz. Summer base miles work well along the Waal River, the Ooijpolder, and the rolling lanes near Groesbeek. November through February are the coldest and wettest months, so runners lean into Goffertpark and bridge loops, while cyclists keep gravel, Z2, and wet-weather kit ready.
