The GR Provincie Trail Antwerpen is a trail run held in October in Kruibeke, within the Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht area of East Flanders, Belgium. It utilizes a section of a GR long-distance walking path and provides two distances: a marathon and a half marathon. With a field limited to 40 participants, this event emphasizes navigation and a more intimate setting over a large-scale competition. The course is marked according to GR standards, with a GPX file provided the week prior as a supplementary guide. Aid stations are cup-free and located approximately every 10 km, requiring participants to carry their own hydration vessels. Electronic timing is employed. Marathon finishers receive a medal, and half marathon participants have the option to receive one. For those without a device to load the GPX, GPS watch rentals are available. The event also includes unique elements such as a WUK beer package and a natural prize for specific runners who collect Belgium puzzle pieces.

The Dordtse Biesbosch Trailrun begins and ends at the organizer's grounds on Schenkeldijk in Dordrecht, South Holland.

The courses feature narrow paved paths, unpaved tracks, sandy stretches, and dikes, leading through the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch, the floodplains beside the Nieuwe Merwede, and the Elzenbos. The trail surface may present puddles, streams, branches, and tree trunks, making the race a test of adaptability to varied terrain rather than a pursuit of speed on a smooth road. The start-finish area provides baggage drop-off and changing facilities. The event maintains a relaxed outdoor atmosphere with campfires, marshmallow roasting for children post-race, and refreshments including coffee, tea, soft drinks, satay, and beer.

The event is connected to the club activities of De Kasteellopers, a group that trains weekly and accepts runners of any pace or distance. The course runs through and around the Kasteeldreef area. Race day involves runners, helpers, and supporters, not solely competitors. One recorded edition had 168 finishers, suggesting a small community race rather than a large city event.

The TREK Antwerp Marathon is an October running event in Antwerp, a Belgian port city on the Scheldt.

The event draws a significant field for a Belgian city race, with approximately 20,000 runners participating across the three distances. This marks the sixth edition of the race. The route crosses the center of Antwerp, passing historic landmarks instead of skirting the city's periphery. Marathon participants are supported by pacers identified by colored target-time flags. The course features aid stations and distinct kilometer and time markers. All finishers are awarded a medal, and marathon entrants also receive an event T-shirt. Additionally, runners have the option to pay after completing the race to have their medal engraved with their name and finish time.

On the second Sunday of November, the Landgoedloop guides runners and walkers onto Landgoed Visdonk in Roosendaal. This annual nature event features trail running, walking, and a themed fairytale tour, ensuring the day appeals to more than just those focused on race times. Participants can select short or longer distances, including a Kids Run, with specific options like 5 km, 10 km, and 1.4 km for children detailed in the event information. The route remains within the Visdonk estate, utilizing forest roads and open meadow sections through a wooded area supporting diverse plant and animal life. The format accommodates beginners, experienced runners, children, and walkers. The event also supports charitable causes, with mentions of proceeds going to Natuurmonumenten and fundraising for local charities, aligning with the natural setting and the community atmosphere of the day.

The Warandeloop Tilburg on Saturday marks the start of a two-day running event held in November within the Oude Warande forest in Tilburg. While the overall Warandeloop tradition began in 1956, Saturday's program caters to a broad public audience, featuring youth races, a half marathon, fun runs, a business run, and Nordic walking, complementing the more competitive cross-country races scheduled for Sunday. The event takes place on a forest course, distinct from urban road circuits, and can attract over 5,000 participants and 12,500 spectators. AV Attila provides numerous volunteers, with Stichting Warandeloop managing the event. Originally a local cross-country race, it evolved into an international competition after 1971 and later expanded to two days. The Sunday elite races now draw strong cross-country fields competing over 10,000 meters for men and 8,100 meters for women.

The Aartsen 10 km is the 10-kilometre race held as part of the Arrow Venloop in Venlo. It takes place alongside the Van der Valk Hotel Venlo Half Marathon, meaning the event is structured around both a 10K and a half marathon, not a single main distance. The most notable aspect is the demand: the 10K sold out over five weeks before race day, and the half marathon also sold out. The Venloop Foundation describes a citywide atmosphere surrounding the race, with runners, walkers, and spectators participating in the same event. The Arrow Venloop is now in its nineteenth edition.

The courses follow gravel paths, unpaved roads, winding forest trails, sunken lanes, and open fields across gently hilly terrain. The longer routes go by the Zeppos mill, and the more challenging parts feature climbs with broad views of the surrounding countryside. The "Taste" aspect is straightforward: runners can remain at the finish area for refreshments, including burgers or pasta, with recovery amenities and event photos available.
