Recurring Marathon races near Utrecht
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.
Urk Marathon
The Urk Marathon begins and ends at the harbor in Urk, a former island town on the edge of the IJsselmeer. It takes place on a Saturday in October and includes a full marathon and a half marathon. The full race is Flevoland’s only marathon, with capacity for 500 marathon runners and 200 half marathon runners. Loopgroep Urk arranges the event, affiliated with the Atletiekunie.
The course is officially certified and designed for speed. Runners depart the harbor along Urk’s historic boulevard toward the dike, then complete laps: four for the marathon and two for the half. The route also goes by the lighthouse, through wooded areas, and along the IJsselmeer shore. The Saturday timing accommodates runners who prefer not to compete on Sunday, and the event is open to all, from club runners aiming for a personal best to those running their first distance race.
Marathon Eindhoven
Marathon Eindhoven occupies a full October weekend in Eindhoven, with the marathon typically held on the second Sunday and concluding on the Vestdijk. The primary race covers 42.195 km with a six-hour time limit. The event also features a half marathon, quarter marathon, 5 km, CityRuns, Kids Runs, business runs, Urban Walks of 10 and 15 km, and a relay where four participants each run slightly over 10.5 km. It ranks as the third largest marathon in the Netherlands, following Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The broader event attracts over 38,000 participants and more than 200,000 spectators.
The race originated as the Lichtstad Marathon, with initial editions seeing only about 50 to 60 participants. It was later revived for Eindhoven’s city anniversary, and subsequent runner advocacy ensured its continuation. The course has been modified multiple times to extend deeper into the city. The race has a significant Belgian contingent; the Belgian Championship Marathon is integrated into the Sunday schedule, and Belgian runners frequently feature prominently among the elite field. Eindhoven is a fast marathon course, evidenced by a men's course record below 2:05, a women's record under 2:23, and one of the world's fastest average top-ten marathon times. The event contributes to KWF Kankerbestrijding, enabling runners to fundraise for cancer research.
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.
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.
Marathon The Hague
Marathon The Hague is a running weekend in The Hague, featuring a 42.195 km marathon scheduled for November. The program includes a 5 km, a 10 km, a Business 10 km, 1 km and 2.5 km kids’ runs, a City Walk, a four-person Business Relay Marathon, and Marathon4ALL, a 1 km event for participants with physical or mental disabilities.
The route begins on Lange Voorhout and concludes on the Plein, incorporating the city, parks, beach, dunes, and Wassenaar into the marathon course. Runners will pass Madurodam, follow the Haringkade towards Scheveningen, go through Westbroekpark, reach the beach at Laan van Poot, run north along the harbor quays, enter the dunes at Wassenaarse Slag, pass near Landgoed Clingendael, and traverse the Haagse Bos before returning to the center. The event revives a Hague marathon tradition dating back to the older Den Haag Marathon, which was the first Dutch marathon held in autumn and previously offered a 60 km ultra, a half marathon, and a children’s race.
Marathon Eindhoven 10 km run by night
The Marathon Eindhoven 10 km run by night is the 10K race held during the Eindhoven Marathon weekend, taking place in Eindhoven every second Sunday in October. This larger event has been held annually since 1990 and features marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K races, positioning the night 10K as part of a broader city running program.
The available information does not detail the 10K route specifically. However, the event is part of a marathon series known for its competitive depth. The marathon records are notable: Dickson Kiptolo Chumba set the men's record at 2:05:46, and Georgina Rono holds the women's record at 2:24:33.
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.
Van Oers Marathon Brabant
On the last Sunday of October, Etten-Leur dedicates its streets and outer roads to the Van Oers Marathon Brabant. Participants can select from a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon. A 2.5K race is available for ages 10 to 16, and a family run is offered for younger children. This event is a wide-ranging local race day, attracting thousands of runners and supporters to the town center and surrounding areas.
The course, as described by the organizers, is varied, incorporating both central Etten-Leur and its environs. The event originated over 40 years ago, linked to the 15th anniversary of the athletics club Achilles. While its distances and route have evolved, the race continues to rely on club involvement, local backing, and a large race-day crowd. Businesses can also compete in the “Fastest Company in West Brabant” challenge, open to companies from beyond the immediate region.
Pre-Run Egmond Halve Marathon
The Pre-Run Egmond Halve Marathon is a trail training run in Egmond-Binnen, serving as preparation for the Egmond Half Marathon in January. It features 8 km and 16 km routes, with entry limited to 1,000 runners, making it feel like a focused rehearsal rather than a large-scale event. The run typically sells out, and late registration is not permitted.
The course provides a sample of Egmond's challenging terrain: beach, dunes, forest, heathland, and short, steep ascents. Some participants use it to refine their speed for later personal best attempts; others approach it as a demanding training session over varied ground. The participants include a broad spectrum of runners, from local regulars to those preparing for the main Egmond Half Marathon. Supporters line the course, and essential race-day services like first aid, parking, and a supervised cloakroom are provided.

About Marathon races in Utrecht
Utrecht Training Notes
Utrecht hosts 30 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 the Singel when they want a clean city loop with plenty to see. The Singel route gives you 5K around the historical city centre along the canals, and Rondje Singel stretches closer to 8-9K. Maximapark gives marathon runners an 8K loop, and the Haarrijnse plassen add-on brings it to 10K. Amelisweerd can get you a little lost, in a good way. In Utrecht We Run Club meets at Cupp on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. Utrecht Running Project starts from Neude. Singelloop Utrecht, ZomerAvondCup Utrecht, and Utrecht Marathon are the anchor races.
Locals ride because Utrecht is built for it, and 51% of trips inside the city already happen by bike. De Stijl bicycle route gives you 23K between Utrecht and Amersfoort when you want culture with base miles. Utrechtse Heuvelrug gives the climbing, the forests, and the gravel, especially toward Austerlitz and Zeist. Koningslaan gives you a 1-kilometer gravel path, and the 77K gravel route hits Hilversum heath, Paleis Soestdijk, Vliegbasis Soesterberg, and Kozakkenput. CS030, cTc Fietsen, RTC De Domstad, Lombok Peppers, and WV het Stadion keep the bunch rides moving. De Ronde van Nieuw Engeland is the local crit marker.
April usually gives the driest training block, so locals stack Z2, intervals, and longer rides before summer gets busy. July and August bring the warmest days, and the city feels easy for evening laps around the Singel or steady rides out toward De Bilt, Zeist, and the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Autumn gets wetter from mid-September, but the cycle paths still handle it well. November through February feel colder and wetter, so runners stay close to Maximapark, Amelisweerd, or the city centre. Cyclists swap some race-bike time for ATB, cyclocross, and offroad miles.
