The exact route varies annually, offering returning participants new paths and turns.

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.

The event is affiliated with the Atletiekunie, attracting both club and casual runners. Recent editions have seen increasing participation and a new men's course record.

Urban Trail Haarlem is a run through the center of Haarlem, with a route designed to showcase the city from both its interior spaces and its streets. It is part of the Dutch Urban Trail Series, which takes runners into notable Dutch cities for a sporty city-discovery run instead of a standard road race. The Haarlem event is limited to 3,000 participants and is now in its sixth edition. The course connects running with culture and architecture, focusing less on achieving a fast time and more on moving through Haarlem’s inner city via locations a normal race would not typically access. The start is at Oudeweg 91-95, and the event offers practical race-day amenities such as public-transport access, first aid, a guarded cloakroom, and late registration if spots remain.

The Hafkamp Groenewegen De Ronde Venen Marathon starts and finishes in the center of Abcoude, a village about 3 km south of Amsterdam. It is a November running event in the municipality of De Ronde Venen, with a full marathon, a duo marathon, a 10 km race, and a mini-marathon. The full marathon is a paved, single-loop course through the Groene Hart, the green rural area between major Dutch cities. The duo marathon gives two runners one marathon to share, with partners alternating between running and cycling. The course visits all eight villages in De Ronde Venen and mixes village roads with open countryside. Runners pass rivers, meadows, a former railway line, a cattle farm, and the Botshol nature reserve. The official description calls the route fast and varied, which fits a course that keeps changing without leaving the flat Dutch landscape. The De Ronde Venen Marathon Foundation organizes the event, and the race is aimed at both recreational runners and more competitive runners who want a full-distance road marathon close to Amsterdam.

The Santpoort-Noord race incorporates the holiday theme by having runners compete against Piet. Its schedule distinguishes the short youth run from the 5 km and 10 km races for men and women.

As an evening event, participants are requested to wear reflective gear or lights, and registration is exclusively online, with no on-site sign-ups.
