Recurring 5K races near Zwolle

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

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.

The Feanrun is Heerenveen's largest running race, an annual four-English-mile run of about 6.4 kilometers that starts and finishes in the city center. Organized since 2015, it is designed as a short city race, not a long-distance challenge. Individual entry costs €20, and companies can enter teams for €300, reflecting the event's focus on workplaces and networking. The route goes through and around central Heerenveen, with a notable section passing through the Abe Lenstra Stadium, home to SC Heerenveen. Local and regional runners participate, including beginners, club runners, company teams, and individuals supporting local charities. Organizers view the Feanrun as both a sporting and a social-business occasion, concluding with a drink rather than just a medal and departure.

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.

De Jong & Laan Halve Marathon Oldenzaal

The De Jong & Laan Halve Marathon Oldenzaal is an autumn running event held annually in Oldenzaal, Overijssel. The half marathon is the primary race, complemented by 10 km, 5 km, and youth 1 km and 2 km races. A business run and a school championship are also part of the event, broadening participation beyond just half-marathon competitors. Early registrants receive their start numbers by mail, while later entrants pick theirs up at the venue. During the LAAC Twente era, the race was known as the Halve van LAAC and utilized the outskirts of Oldenzaal. As development encroached on that area, organizers relocated the course towards Weerselo, eventually introducing a new route and the name Huttenkloasloop. That iteration guided participants through the scenic, undulating countryside surrounding Oldenzaal, bearing the motto “Not the fastest, but the most beautiful!” The event is now named Halve Marathon Oldenzaal, retaining the same route, and is managed by Stichting Halve Marathon Oldenzaal. De Jong & Laan serves as the main sponsor, and the event contributes to Kans voor een kind.

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.

Venoseloop Vollenhove

The Venoseloop Vollenhove takes place at holiday park 't Akkertien in Vollenhove, Overijssel, on the second Saturday of October. Participants can choose between a 5-kilometer or 10-kilometer run. This event is designed for a wide range of participants, including children, older runners, casual joggers, club runners, and those aiming for a specific time. The courses lead from the holiday park into Vollenhove and the surrounding countryside, including natural areas outside the village. Over 500 runners participate in the 5K and 10K races, providing a significant turnout without becoming an overly large event. It originated as a small local run and has become a regular fixture for many regional runners, supported by local organizations and sponsors. Recent events have included a dedicated podium and personal sponsor banners, with photography at various points such as the dike, Laan van Toutenburgh, the finish line, and aerial views of Vollenhove.

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.

Agrirun - 3e editie

Agrirun is a local running race in Sumar, Netherlands, offering 5 km and 10 km distances for adults. Held in October and organized by Agrifit, the race starts at Joute van der Meerweg 2A. With a limit of 150 participants, it maintains a small-field character, distinct from large urban events. The adult distances share a uniform entry fee. Facilities provided include changing rooms, showers, parking, first aid, and an AED. The race connects with the agricultural sector, featuring routes that combine paved and unpaved paths, deviating from exclusively road courses. The event also features children's races: a 500 m run for ages 4-6 and a 1 km run for ages 7-12. Past events have seen participation from both adults and children; the second edition had approximately 120 adult runners and 50 children. Registration closes before race day, with no provision for late entries.

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.

Dorpsloop Nijbeets

Dorpsloop Nijbeets is a small running event held in Nij Beets, offering 5 km and 10 km races alongside a Kidsrun. This annual road race, typically scheduled for October, presents participants with a clear decision between a short village course and a longer local route. The course begins in Nij Beets, crossing village streets and the nearby countryside. It features a varied terrain, mixing level sections with gentle inclines. Local runners participate alongside visitors from other regions, fostering a welcoming village atmosphere with spectators positioned near the course.

The AeresFitrun begins and ends at Aeres MBO on Jansoniusstraat in Leeuwarden. Three distances are offered: a 1 km Kidsrun, a 5 km race, and a 10 km race. This is a small, local running event for children and adults, organized by AV Lionitas, an athletics club affiliated with the Atletiekunie. Entry is online only, with registration available until shortly before the start; there is no on-site registration. The 5 km and 10 km routes go through the aqueduct towards Zuiderburen. The 10 km route includes an additional loop around the Tearnzer Wielen. Youth participants in the Kidsrun receive a medal, while other runners may purchase one. The event provides essential facilities: changing rooms, showers, first aid, parking, refreshments during and after the race, and public transport access. Leeuwarden Achter de Hoven station is located less than a kilometer from the finish.

About 5K races in Zwolle

Zwolle Base Miles

Zwolle hosts 87 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 the historic city centre when the day needs a short shakeout, intervals, or a quick start. The IJssel and Zwarte Water give you the easy long-run line, with relaxed kilometers when you want Z2 instead of drama. Het Engelse Werk and Agnietenberg add forest paths, hills, and turns when the legs need work. Dieze keeps it playful with street art routes. Social Runclub Zwolle meets every Saturday at 10:00 AM at the Havengebouw, and Run & Roll brings music, picnics, and park runs. Halve Marathon Zwolle, Westenholterun, Stadshagenrun Zwolle, Berkumloop Zwolle, and Sint Nicolaasloop Zwolle keep the calendar honest.

Locals ride the IJssel River paths for a gentle cruise, then head into the Salland countryside for a bigger effort. Rondje Zwolle gives you a signed loop, and the route covers 41.4 kilometers from junction 47 on Kranenburgweg back to Zwolle. GazGas is the club to know, with over 150 members and Tuesday and Thursday evening sessions from Café de Hete Brij. Tuesday brings time trials, climbing, intervals, and echelon riding, while Thursday keeps it to roughly two hours of endurance work. Agnietenberg gives the close hill hit, and TRC Zwolle - Lemelerberg-Toeristenweg Loop gives the bigger climbing day with 514 meters over 90.3 kilometers.

June and September are the months that feel busy, with races landing often enough that training has a proper anchor event. June and August also bring multiple running events, so the summer rhythm suits long evenings, tempo work, and a bit of gran fondo energy on the bike. GazGas keeps Sundays social, and the summer evening competition gives riders a reason to sharpen the crit legs. Winter changes the texture, not the habit. Cyclists move into mountain biking, ice skating, or track cycling, and runners lean harder on the city centre, Het Engelse Werk, Agnietenberg, and steady base miles along the water.
