The Wilhelminaberg Trappen Marathon course for runners includes a 248-meter staircase with 508 steps. This race takes place in Landgraaf, South Limburg, situated on the 93-meter Wilhelminaberg, which is the highest slag heap in the Netherlands.

Halloween-Run Köln is a Halloween-night running event in Cologne’s Forstbotanischer Garten, with 5 km and 10 km options plus children’s Candy Runs. It is a normal road or path race with a costume-heavy twist, not an obstacle race and not one where zombies chase runners. The mood is meant to be spooky but friendly, so it suits adults who want a themed run and families looking for something active to do with children. The route uses the familiar Rodenkirchen LÄUFT course through the botanical forest garden, with parts of it lit specially for Halloween. Runners often come in costume and wear headlamps, which makes the field look more like a moving parade of ghosts than a standard evening race. The event has drawn more than 1,400 participants, including over 400 toddlers and school children, and it is billed as the only night run through the Forstbotanischer Garten.

Martins-Crosslauf is a German cross-country race name associated with the St Martin period in November. Listings indicate a Martins-Cross-Lauf in Krefeld, and VfL Altenstadt organizes a St. Martin's Crosslauf in Hesse. The name appears in multiple local running contexts, not as a single documented national series. The format is standard cross-country: runners leave the road to compete on natural terrain, with local athletics clubs managing the event. The Altenstadt event is part of the Hessian cross-country scene and has hosted the Hessian Cross Country Championships. Preussen Krefeld Leichtathletik also lists Martins-Cross-Lauf among its athletics events.

The 5.2 km race is suitable for runners seeking a straightforward, level course. The 11.5 km option provides more varied terrain without becoming a trail race. Races for children and youth are also included, ensuring the day caters to more than just adult distance runners.

The Ugly Christmas Sweater Run is a holiday fun-run format centered on participants wearing intentionally garish Christmas attire. The Leverkusen iteration, located in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, is a 5-kilometer road race commencing near the Ostermann-Arena on Bismarckstrasse. It begins at 11:00 a.m. and is untimed, positioning it as a relaxed community event rather than a competition focused on finishing times. The Leverkusen course traces the Dhunn river, goes by Schloss Morsbroich, and concludes back at the starting point. Other events adopting the Ugly Christmas Sweater Run concept offer 5K and 10K distances, alongside a free Kids 1K, encouraging participants to don ugly sweaters or festive outfits. The Lower Truro, Nova Scotia iteration, organized by Hub Town Runners at the Fundy Discovery Site, collects funds for the Colchester Christmas Index program and includes prize drawings, refreshments, and social gatherings post-race.

Runners dressed as Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus complete a 5 km run through Amersfoort's center on a Friday evening before Christmas. The Kerstmannenloop is a social fun run, focusing on moving together through the city rather than achieving a specific time. The run begins and ends at Oliemolenhof in De Nieuwe Stad. The course follows the Eem from De Nieuwe Stad, passes through the city center, and circles back via Oude Fabriekstraat and Oliemolenhof. Approximately 1,600 Santas and Mrs. Clauses participate, and the event can sell out. Following the run, attendees enjoy mulled wine and a dance party at Zandfoort aan de Eem. A portion of the proceeds benefits Stichting WereldOuders, supporting vulnerable children in Latin America.

The course is a traffic-free, officially measured loop within the park, offering flat terrain conducive to fast racing and age-group rankings. The 10 km race consists of repeated laps, while the 5 km utilizes a flat park loop. The finish directs runners onto the athletics track after commencing outside the stadium gates. Families and friends can participate via the relay format, and all finishers receive a New Year’s pretzel, a small detail characteristic of Cologne that contributes to the race’s end-of-year atmosphere.
