Roermond Run & Roermond Swim 2026

At De Weerd in Roermond, participants can choose on the same September race day between running, swimming, or doing both in an aquathlon. The running distances range from a 600-metre bambino race to 1.5, 10, and 15 kilometres, while swimmers can enter 500 metres or 1 kilometre. The aquathlon pairs a 1-kilometre swim with a 10-kilometre run, catering to children, casual entrants, and fitter multisport athletes within the same programme. Hundreds of participants race for a good cause, and the foundation behind it previously organised the Roermond City Swim. The organisers aim to encourage more people in the region to be active, with a playful Dutch slogan, “Spetterende Nieuwjaarsduik!”, suggesting its lively swim-side atmosphere.
