Recurring Half Marathon races near Zwolle
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.
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.
Let's Go Running - N70 Trail
Let's Go Running - N70 Trail is a monthly social trail run starting from the De Holdeurn parking lot in Berg en Dal, close to restaurant De Duivelsberg. Runners head into the N70 area for a relaxed run through nature reserves, featuring significant climbing but no set distance or elevation. The cost is €12.50, with a discount for Let's Go Running coachees.
The run consists of two loops, bringing runners back past their vehicles at the halfway point. The car trunks serve as an informal aid station for refreshments. Pace groups form around 6:00 per kilometer, emphasizing a shared outing over intense competition. A few days prior, participants get route details and a GPX file via email, and a post-run gathering at a local cafe is common.
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.
Run Bike Run
Salland Zorgverzekeringen & Flynth Diepe Hel Holterbergloop
The Diepe Hel Holterbergloop guides runners and walkers up the Holterberg from Holten, Netherlands. This annual late-October event includes road running, walking, a Kidsrun, a Heroesloop, business categories, and main race distances of 6 km, 10 km, and a half marathon. The official title incorporates sponsors Salland Zorgverzekeringen and Flynth, with the organization affiliated with the Atletiekunie.
Saturday evening features a 6 km Nightrun and Nightwalk on an illuminated course; glow-in-the-dark outfits are encouraged. Sunday hosts the 10 km, half marathon, longer walks, and children’s events. The routes traverse the Sallandse Heuvelrug, utilizing rolling terrain, forest, and heathland instead of a flat city course. Thousands participate in the Holterberg challenge, with entries limited to 5,000 and no late registration, maintaining a local, organized atmosphere.
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.
Gooi Half Marathon
The Gooi Half Marathon debuts in the Dutch region of Het Gooi, starting and finishing at Het Arsenaal in the fortified town of Naarden Vesting. Scheduled for November, it includes more than just a half marathon: participants can opt for a quarter marathon or a kids run, and a walking tour is also available. The event originated from organizer Mees Kremer's relocation to Naarden and his appreciation for the local forests, heath, river landscape, and historic surroundings.
The half marathon course highlights well-known locations near Naarden, such as Muiderberg, the Naardermeer, and Valkeveen. The majority of the route is paved, with some forest path segments, meaning trail shoes are unnecessary. Kremer is organizing the event with Tempo AV from Bussum, receiving support from the municipality of Gooise Meren. The race is being developed as a community day for Naarden, Bussum, and neighboring villages, utilizing traffic-calmed roads and minimizing road closure times at intersections.
TT City Run
The TT City Run begins on the TT Circuit and concludes in Assen's center, connecting the city’s motor-racing venue with its festival streets. Participants can select from 5.4 km, 10 km, or 14.6 km distances. The event inaugurates the TT Festival, integrating it with Assen’s broader TT week instead of functioning as an independent road race.
The primary courses all lead from the circuit towards the city center. Meanwhile, children compete over shorter distances within Assen: 500 meters for the youngest participants and 1.2 km for older children. The schedule also features TT Circuit Laps, allowing individuals to traverse the circuit at their own speed, accommodating those using mobility aids. Additionally, there is a Business Run for teams and a College Run for local students. All finishers are awarded a TT City Run medal.
Dorpsrun Renswoude
The Dorpsrun Renswoude begins and ends at the parking lot of sports park de Hokhorst in Renswoude. This annual village road race offers distances for children and adults: a 1,000-meter Kidsrun, 5 km, 10.5 km, and a half marathon. The Kidsrun separates young runners into 4-9 and 10-12 age categories. The longer distances allow local runners, club runners, and visitors to choose between a shorter village race and a full 21.1 km run.
The shortest route runs from De Hokhorst along Dickerijstlaantje and returns. The 5 km route incorporates De Hokhorst and Ubbeschoterweg. Now in its 40th edition, the event is an established fixture. Entries are capped at approximately 650 to 700 runners, and recent editions have sold out before race day. A substantial volunteer team manages the event, with local businesses also providing support, giving it the character of a community gathering for runners, families, friends, colleagues, and neighbors.
Montferlandse Herfstrun Beek
The Beekse Herfstrun is a road running event in Beek, Montferland, Gelderland, Netherlands, held in November. It features three paved distances: 7 km, 14 km, and a half marathon, allowing participants to complete one, two, or three laps of the same course.
The race begins at Uitspanning 't Peeske on Peeskesweg, located on the outskirts of Beek Montferland. The course is marked with a blue line, each lap measures 7 km, and the event has a participant limit of 500. Stichting Omloop Beek organizes the race, and podium finishers are awarded vouchers.
Sint Nicolaasloop Zwolle
Sint Nicolaasloop Zwolle is a road race in Zwolle, Overijssel, held annually on a Sunday before Sinterklaas. It begins at Sportpark de Pelikaan on Brinkhoekweg, offering participants a 6 km, 8 km, or 10 English mile (approx. 16.1 km) route. A kids' run is also available, ensuring the event caters to more than just adult club runners.
The routes traverse the rural northern part of Zwolle, passing through Berkum and AA-landen, providing a local course atmosphere instead of a large-city feel. Loopgroep SNL organizes the race, which is affiliated with the Atletiekunie. Registration must be completed in advance, as late entries are not accepted, and the event is limited to 1,000 participants. The start area provides essential race-day amenities, such as changing facilities, parking, and a first-aid station.

About Half Marathon races in Zwolle
Zwolle Base Miles
Zwolle hosts 33 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 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.
